Love is the most powerful things that the angles willingly gave the human race. People do all sorts of crazy things when they are in love. From flying across the planet, to showing random acts of affection towards their lover. Some even kill to protect the one they sleep next too. All in all love makes people do crazy things, but it is the most powerful emotions humans, and even most non-humans can express. Once in a lifetime you find this love that lights a fire in you that can never be put out, and you and your other half try everything to keep that fire going, no matter what’s a stake.

Nora has to choose a side, Patch or her people. After her “father” Hank Miller died he made Nora head of his Nephilim army, right around the time they were going to war with the fallen angels. The other leaders do not trust Nora, especially Lisa Martin, but her first lieutenant Dante Matterazzi , promises he will do whatever it takes to keep her in power, as he swore an oath to Hank saying that if Nora gets kicked out of power his life goes with it. The first thing Dante wants to do is stage a break up of Nora and Patch, and tell everyone that they are the new “It couple”. Needless to say Patch wasn’t on board with this plan. “Patch meant more to me than I could more put into words. His love and faith in me took the strings out of the hard decisions I’d been forced to make lately. Whenever doubt and regret crept into my conscience, all I had to do was think of Patch” were some of Nora’s thoughts on Patch. Yet to keep herself and mother alive she has to lead the army, and if that means stage breaking up with Patch, so be it, even though neither of them are happy about it.

Becca Fitzpatrick did a fantastic job with this series. From book one to now you got to see Nora, this ordinary human, fall in love with the most dark and badass fallen angel Patch, and the trials and tribulations of their love. They battle bad guys from old ex-girlfriends, the Dark Hand, to Patch’s vessel. They went through break ups, making up, fights, and even sweeter kisses. This book lets you see Patch and Nora fight to the final day, and a sweet epilogue that will make you close the book with the sweetest of thoughts. Sure Nora might be dumb, and not the nicest best friend to Vee. Patch might be the ultimate bad boy with no other character traits. Yet put these two together you get a wonderful love story about a boy who couldn’t feel touch, fall in love with a girl, and how her heart changed his from black to gold.
