3.5 
 After reading this, a big part of me wanted to rate it a bit lower because a lot of the book felt like mostly filler. Norah loses her memory and we have to re-learn the plot again. Really? It just felt a bit like some kind of marketing scheme to make more money. But although I feel like this series is not one that needs four books to conclude, I couldn't help but really enjoying reading this. 
 I mentioned in my review of Crescendo that Norah and Vee's characters sometimes annoy me. I'm happy to say that in this book, Norah actually kind of grew on me. I find it amusing that I liked "memory-loss Norah" better than "regular Norah." She just felt... less stupid. Don't get me wrong, sometimes she made decisions that made me want to pound my head against the wall, but a lot of her reactions felt more natural. I liked that she told her mom off for dating Hank, it felt like something a teenage girl would do. Where I can see many people finding her attitude annoying in this book, I liked it because it felt very authentic. But oh boy, does she need to stop running off or what? Every single time she did, nothing good came out of it. 
 My favorite Norah line has to be when she's being interrogated by Hank and he says, "Do you know I'm your biological father?" To which she responded, "Father is such an arbitrary word. Douche bag, on the other hand..." I laughed, I'm not gonna lie. She just had a lot of quick, witty lines in this book, particularly to Hank, and I loved it. 
 Vee, however, was in the book much less in this one, and from what little we saw of her, she got on my nerves. She's one of those characters who has the best of intentions, but is very misguided. Not telling Norah about Patch was a little messed up, no matter how strong her "anti-men" feelings were. And while we're at it that scene where she told those poor guys off, I really wanted to slap her. 
 My love for Scott only grew in this book, actually if we're being perfectly honest a very big part of me was hoping she'd forget about Patch and move onto Scott. I could be alone here, but I think his character is just so much more dynamic than Patch. I like Patch, I just... when I think about the book, I don't have anything to say about him. He was an interesting character at first now he just feels like... I hate to say it, but a plot device. Scott has intrigue, I like his relationship with Norah and he seems more like the kind of guy I would go for. Patch is a good guy (now anyway) he's just kind of boring. 
 Now the plot in this book. Wow. There were a lot of plot twists and action, and is was actually pretty awesome. Some of the stuff I was able to guess, but there were many times it took me by surprise. It was pretty frustrating at first reading through Norah's point of view, when she doesn't know anything and we know all the things from the last few books, but the plot did pick up. I have to say I liked it better once she had kind of put the pieces of the puzzle back together and were able to move forward with the book. 
 Can we just talk for a second about how messed up the relationship between Hank and Marcie is? So, he's using her for all his schemes, because basically he thinks of her as disposable. That's sick, but what really got me was the fact that he originally got her to steal the necklace by telling her they would be playing a trick on Norah to mess her up more. I'm sorry, but no matter how much I hated someone, if my father came up to me and suggested I plant all these things in her life to mess with her memory, I'd be really creeped out. I know Marcie's a bitch, but that's kind of crossing a line. I wasn't expecting the thing at the end with Marcie basically being at risk of dying all the time. I kind of felt bad for her after reading that. 
 Then the ending. That whole almost killing Hank, then deciding to let him live, then having to kill him because he had Patch's feather, felt kind of forced. It was like, Fitzpatrick forgot she had set up that plot device and after making the decision to have Norah kill him, suddenly remembered, "Oh, yep, can't leave that hanging!" It just felt strange. 
 But I really like the set up for the next book. I feel like the last one could be really epic. Norah's a nephillim now and I loved how they ended it with her saying she's going to have to decide who she wants to be her enemy. So I'm thinking the next one is going to have a lot of big bad ass fighting between the different races. I can't wait.
