I love how the author outright admits that fallen angles are demons, not generally romanticized creatures, to say the least, but the next thing we know, Nora's framing Patch as a superhero. (And by love, I mean I want to smack the author with a book of classical mythology.) This is Twilight-level bubble-headedness, particularly in terms of the lengths Meyer went to not to acknowledge that Edward is, you know, dead. Why let a little thing like that spoil the sweeping romance, right? *rolls eyes*
Although, unlike Twilight, I kind of feel like Patch being a supernatural creature isn't Nora's biggest problem, here. In Twilight, if Edward hadn't been a vampire, he probably would have just been one of those creepy, awkward teenage guys that girls generally avoid. In this, Nora's concern shouldn't be whether Patch is a fallen angel; she should be wondering whether he's really a violent criminal who's going around assaulting people.
