... I'm starting to think this town was built on a toxic waste dump site or something. Maybe everyone was exposed to lead in-utero. And mercury. Because I can't see how else EVERYONE in this WHOLE DAMN TOWN can be such an idiot. I mean, sweet mother of Cthulhu, this is bad!
So, if Nephilim don't have souls, and Nora's of Nephilim descent, then shouldn't she be soulless, too? Just asking. So many plot holes. So many, many plot holes. Plus, creepy rape overtones. Seriously, how do we know Patch DIDN'T have sex with her while she was unconscious and he was changing her? His word? Yeah, that's good for a lot!
You could be right. It is ridiculous how stupid everyone is in this thing. If one person grew a brain, they'd rule the rest.
No, I'm pretty sure Nora has one. According to Fitzpatrick, Nora is so far descended from the Nephilim that, for all intents and purposes, she's just an ordinary human. That means she has no mindrape-y powers, no immortality, and if she has a kid with a fallen angel, that kid would be considered a first-generation Nephilim. Which bodes VERY badly if she and Patch ever reproduce...
I feel I ought to point out that Patch never actually DID give his word that he didn't molest her while she slept. Sweet dreams.
I don't even... The profound stupidness of it all. My god. I think my brain just escaped out my ear and ran away.
Which is probably a good thing, or I'd be raging about what some people apparently think is romantic. I mean, kink fics are one thing, but this... *shakes head*

Nonsense, don't you know that Patch can dazzle you into submission with one look? And that Nora's eyes were totally saying "yes-yes"? And that...okay, I'm done. >_< That was horrible and squicky.

And on the subject of Disney movie finale kisses, for all people criticize movies like Snow White and Sleeping Beauty for having passive, bland heroines, at least the movies still have love interests who are kind and loving to them! Granted they know each other for a matter of days beforehand, but still!
You know what? I'm reasonably certain these last two chapters were written first, with Fitzpatrick having some idea of what the basic beats of the story would be, but not having actually written any of it yet. That's the only way things like Nora suddenly being all self-sacrificing over Patch and the weird line last chapter about all the good times they had make sense. I know that Fitzpartick, for some reason, thought this was going to be a sweeping romance for the ages, but I don't believe she could have looked back over the other 28 chapters and decided that was really what she'd written. Or I won't believe it, either one.
This also feels incredibly ripped off from Twilight - the "heroine" gets beaten up by the villain, passes out, is rescued by her "angel," and comes to all bandaged up in bed. And then everything ends with anti-climax and nary a consequence in sight, not to mention a hook for a bunch of unnecessary sequels. Bleh.
Congratulations on managing to get through this mess - I salute you!

The only good side here is that he's not using the past tense. Because that's the only way I can think of for that one to sound more rape-y.
