I think that ship sailed when she stole the damn thing in the first place.
We get the usual fanservicy description of how he's all gangly with a hawk-like nose and a “shag” of inky-black hair
Maybe it's just a matter of personal taste, but that sounds kind of ugly to me.
That's great, Vee. Force two people into a conversation they don't want to have, then don't even bother sticking around for it yourself. Truly, you're a wonderful friend.
Can't I just smack Vee with a Dark Visitor spell and take her out?
why was Nora not given a guardian in the first book, when she had both Patch, Dabria, Elliot, and Jules trying to kill her?! Did the angels have their headphones on and not notice?!?
Reminds me of a certain infamous sequence in Metroid: Other M where the most charitable explanation was that mission control fell asleep at the desk. Incidentally, certain parts of that game have been compared to this book, and not favorably either.
She was seriously tempted to go on the run with the guy who sent her a card that knocked her out and left her running from her dad's ghost.
Definitely worse than Bella "Oh, it's so romantic that you watch me sleep without me even know you're there" Swan.
Rixon laughs at the idea of Patch trying to kill her, because he takes his job as guardian angel very seriously.
I'm just laughing at Rixon's stupidity.
they're totally useless about stopping a Nephilim uprising, to the point where they're forced to rely on Nora to stop it for them.
I suppose it's too much to hope that they're secretly siding with the Nephilim.
You mean to tell me, though, that lust is completely fine?!?
Wasn't it lust that caused Patch's fall in the first place?
Fitzpatrick actually did seem to have researched this bit, since it does look like France at that time period did hire large numbers of Irish mercenaries. So kudos to her for that
Considering her track record, she probably just got lucky.
I'm quite certain that unless the necessary evidence was lit up with neon lights reading “THIS IS IT!”, she wouldn't know to take it.
I doubt she'd take it even then.
Not to mention, Nora doesn't have the apartment key. How the frig does she think she'll be getting in?
If she suddenly reveals that she knows how to pick locks, I'm calling shenanigans.
“[t]he air in [her] lungs seem to shatter”
I am actually twitching at the stupidity of that metaphor. Although, if air did "shatter", it would expand, causing Nora's lungs to explode. Then we'd be rid of this accursed series.
