Oh man, so many things were done so terribly in this book. I almost expected to see typos. I tried to keep an open mind despite all the reviews that accused it of being done just for the money (to mimic the success of Twilight), but so many things were too forced or off topic. This book was obviously not originally planned, had a lot of filler, and did not really accomplish much of anything. I give this book 2 stars for: 
 1) Nora's ability to not jump to conclusions in a 100% (only about 60%) irrational manner and assume the worst about Patch for once. They seemed to be on the same page FINALLY. 
 2) The book was not terribly written. The plot was...decent. Characters still had the usual charm. But the missed potential in so many areas keeps this book from earning any more stars. 
 (view spoiler)[ Between Vee's AMAZING SECRET OF BEING NEPHILIM (which could have been revealed SO MANY BOOKS AGO and created such a depth to their friendship), Patch's magical new ability to feel things, some random opening of the gates of hell that was glossed over, Nora being a stereotypically weak female protagonist that has absolutely no self esteem, and all these confusing and unclear "oaths"; this book was a mess from the start. PLUS THE OBVIOUSLY FORCED PERFECT ENDING and the death of Scott which could have been avoided in SO MANY WAYS. Why were we hearing about how much Nora sucked at training when we could have been reading about Vee and Scott's relationship?! WHYY. (hide spoiler)]
