First line/s:  "I walked into Biology and my jaw fell open."

My comments:  Well...this is just the sort of book a young teenage girl would enjoy greatly.  Romance, cute boys, a little bit of mystery, an "innocent" protagonist who is daring one minute and shaking in her boots the next.  As an adult, of course, I spent much of the read (or should I say listen) rolling my eyes.  But it's perfect for a 13-year-old fantasy lover.  I do think I'll pass on the rest of the series, myself....

Goodreads synopsis:
A SACRED OATH
A FALLEN ANGEL
A FORBIDDEN LOVE

          Romance was not part of Nora Grey's plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how hard her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch comes along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Patch draws Nora to him against her better judgment.
          But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure whom to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is and seems to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.
          For she is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen - and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost Nora her life.
