[Facepalm]

Describe Patch as far as we know  him.

Patch is mysterious and seems dangerous to Nora. He came out of nowhere and reveals very little about himself.

If you had to guess or invent a history for patch, what would it be?

I've already read it all, and all I remember thinking before we learned more was that was *obviously* a fallen angel.

Is his attraction to Nora genuine?

Yes!

Do you see patch as a badboy type, or more as a hero?

Neither. At this point, I don't think he's really done anything that justifies his being labeled as one or the other. Right now he is just... mysterious.

Why is Nora drawn to him?

Danger is allruing to her. That and she needs to know what's really going on  with him, and why he's being so secretive, how he can speak directly to her thoughts, etc.

Has Patch done anything supernatural so far in the novel? What does Nora suspect him of doing?

Somewhat. He may have spoken in Nora's mind, or she might be going insane (judging by the fact it's a paranormal novel, probably the former...). There was also the scene on the roller coaster, which doesn't really make complete sense at this point in the story, but may have been supernatural.

[J.R._BookWorm]

Patch has a lot of secrets

?

I'm not sure

I think Patch is a hero, but isn't about to tell anyone

?

?

(I've read the whole book so I'm trying not to give anything away.....)

[dhaupt]

As far as we know him now Patch is a bad boy on the outside with a heart of gold. Very mysterious without one speck in his personnel records.

If I were to invent a history for Patch knowing the background for the book I would say he's either a fallen angel or an angel.

His attraction to Nora is genuine.

I see Patch as a hero.

Nora is drawn to him because she feels some kind of kinship with him something deeper than just surface attraction.

The only thing that Patch has done supernaturally so far is the telepathy with Nora.

[Carinac]

Describe Patch as far as we know him.  Patch just seems like a mysterious guy with a pirate smile

Is his attraction to Nora genuine? In a way it almost seems sarcastic like by they way he talks

Do you see Patch as a badboy type, or more as a hero? Oh he is totally a badboy type

Why is Nora so drawn to him? It is hard to describe, just something inside

[Rosei]

Patch is attractive, mysterious, behaves like a badboy, seems to be independent and has very mature opinions about life, people and relationship. He sounds like he knows exactly what he wants.

If I had to guess or invent a history for him, it would be that he's been banned from Heaven for inducing mortals to be bad and mean or commit little crimes. As a punishment he would live among the mortals, with no use of supernatural powers, and learn about people's feelings.

In some ways his attraction to Nora still doesn't sound real to me. I think he is playing games with her and trying to get her attention. I hope this can change (I know it will) because it's going to be interesting to see him falling for her.

And I still don't know if he is more a badboy or a hero. Certainly, a hero with sprinkles of charming darkness, which calls Nora's attention, as different guys usually attract women with a different sort of behaviour.

Nora suspects Patch of stalking her, and I myself feel like he could read her mind and know everything about her feelings.

[Vermontcozy]

Patch...Protector .His History is linked to Nora's,He was raised with a silver spoon,but not everyone believes he is worthy of his Priviledged Life. I think at the beginning he just concentrated on the mission,but I do believe his feelings now are genuine,I am just concerned...Ah,badboy or Hero..Hero with an edge..for a reason?Nora is drawn to him because,she really doesn't have any idea why..although his protective nature as she preceives it,is what is missing in her life,ever since her father was murdered.Supernatural Powers...Maybe the car incident,and I believe the Archangel,which would fit into my belief now that he is here to protect her..Danger lies  ahead..will find out soon...Vtc

[AnitaBlakeFan]

Is his attraction to Nora genuine?

It is hard to say.  high school relationships are not always as genuine as we think at the time.  Our personalities are still developing too much.  That is why there are many high school sweethearts that get married only to get divorced later in life, though I love to see it when it is true love.

Do you see Patch as a bad boy type, or more as a hero?

He is the reluctant hero who would prefer to the be selfish bad boy, who could not pull off selfish in the end.

Why is Nora so drawn to him?

I think a lot of girls, especially in high school are drawn to bad boys.  I know I was.  Luckily, I grew up and found the bad boy who grew up and was not as bad as he thought.

[suitejuju]

I'm not crazy about Patch.

Sure he comes through in the end but he never shows any tenderness or weakness.

[wendyreads09]

Describe Patch as far as we know him.  Mysterious, has something to hide, protector

If you had to guess or invent a history for Patch, what would it be? From the epilogue, he definitely is from another time and place brought to the present time for some purpose.

Is his attraction to Nora genuine? I hope it's genuine, but we'll soon find out.

Do you see Patch as a badboy type, or more as a hero? A little bit of both.

Why is Nora so drawn to him? Because he is drawn to her and she wants to know why.

Has Patch done anything supernatural so far in the novel? What does Nora suspect him of doing? When she rode the Archangel ride with him, and how he enters her mind.

[amt19]

Describe Patch as far as we know him. Attractive, self assured, dark, unknown,

If you had to guess or invent a history for Patch, what would it be? He has done bad things, but he doesn't dwell on them.

Is his attraction to Nora genuine? I think so.

Do you see Patch as a bad boy type, or more as a hero? I see him as a Bad boy with good possible.

Why is Nora so drawn to him? Looks, attitude, Girls tend to like what they maybe shouldn't.

Has Patch done anything supernatural so far in the novel? What does Nora suspect him of doing?Nora suspects him of following her.

[USwede16]

Why is Nora so drawn to him?

 Simple. Opposites attract. I think that Nora is drawn to Patch simply because he is everything that she isn't. Patch lives with no fear and as if there is little in the world that can bother him. Meanwhile, Nora contemplates every move she make to make sure that its something she is comfortable with. Also, being with Patch comes across as something that Nora shouldn't do. The rush she experiences as a result of hanging out with someone she feels to be bad gives her a sense of life and excitement.

Patch is the epitome of a bad boy. He's dark, mysterious, rides a motorcycle, doesn't play by anyone else's rules.

If you had to guess or invent a history for Patch, what would it be?

My guess would be that Patch got into some kind of trouble before, making him not want to share his past with anyone.

Is his attraction to Nora genuine?

I think Patch is genuinely attracted to Nora. He blatantly flirts with her in biology class in front of everyone. Then he invites her to ride the Archangel with him and when she realizes Vee left without her, he jumps at the chance to give her a ride home.

Do you see Patch as a bad boy type, or more as a hero?

Patch is definitely a bad boy. At this point I don't see him as a hero, but that may change when I get further into the book.

Why is Nora so drawn to him?

What girl doesn't love a bad boy? I know I do!

Has Patch done anything supernatural so far in the novel? What does Nora suspect him of doing?

Not really unless you count the fact that Nora thinks Patch's thoughts can get into her mind. I'm not sure though if that's true yet, or if she's just imagining that. Nora also thinks Patch is following her, but again, I'm not sure if it's real or imagined.

A lot of people have noted that Patch is annoying.  However, Patch has noted that he cannot move to fast for Nora or she won't be ready for what he has to tell her about his past so

1.  We know Patch wants to share his past with Nora

2.  He's trying to keep Nora "into" him so she will not leave him when he tells her

3.  Based on the above, his attraction to Nora appears to be genuine.

What bothers me is doesn't he have any clue that she's in danger and why isn't he doing any thing about it.  I say this because I'm guessing that he knows that his past might bring danger with it, but he doesn't seem to be afraid of her hanging out with Eliot or being out at her farmhouse alone at night.  Unless he stalking her to protect her.... but Nora thinks the stalker tried to hurt her, not protect her.  It doesn't help that something is disturbing her recollection of events!!!

[7thgradeteacher]

Describe Patch as far as we know him. 

He's suppose to be the mysterious bad boy. But there is a hint that he's more than what he seems.  He also seem aloof or like he has a joke that no one else knows.  It's also clear there is something he wants from Nora or he wouldn't engage her like he does.

If you had to guess or invent a history for Patch, what would it be?

The only I could say is that it's clear he's been on his own for a while and prefers it that way. 

Is his attraction to Nora genuine?

Yes I think it is even if he doesn't know it at the start.  I think that he knows what he wants/needs from Nora and he's going to get that, but he doesn't realize that he's falling for her for real.

Do you see Patch as a badboy type, or more as a hero?

He's both.  Badboy but would never hurt anyone just for the sake of hurting them.

Why is Nora so drawn to him?

He's mysterious but I think also because he's strong and self assured.  He can take care of himself and whoever he cares about.  Nora needs that because of what happened with her father.  Even tho she doesn't know who he really is I think she senses deep down that she can trust him when there is danger.

Has Patch done anything supernatural so far in the novel? What does Nora suspect him of doing?

To be honest I've read the whole book and I don't have it in front of me, so I'm going to abstain from this one so I don't give anything away!

[tato]

Describe Patch as far as we know him: He's the typical smartass, bad-boy who finds tapping on people entertaining, which makes him, of course, really alluring despite his arrogance.

 If you had to guess or invent a history for Patch, what would it be?  He might've done something really bad at some point and was punished because of it. But the reasons for such action might've been good, so he comes as a misunderstood character.

Is his attraction to Nora genuine? Yes, that's why he's tapping on her nerves all the time!

Do you see Patch as a badboy type, or more as a hero? At he beginning, he's the embodiment of a badboy, but as the story rolls, he becomes more like both.

Why is Nora so drawn to him?  Almost every girl on earth is attracted to danger, and Patch has it written all over himself. Besides, badboys are always more fun.

Has Patch done anything supernatural so far in the novel? What does Nora suspect him of doing? He knows a lot about her and Nora suspects him of having psychic skills.

[fronkster]

Is his attraction to Nora genuine?   I questioned that the whole time because of the situations he would bring her into. Why would he have done that if he liked her so much.

Why is Nora so drawn to him? I think she was drawn to Patch so much was because of the mystery with him. Nobody goes around without questioning someones motive at one time or another.

Do you see Patch as a badboy type, or more as a hero?  I saw him as the badboy type. Almost the whole time when I was reading I kept wanting Nore to ditch Patch because of what he was like. And I knew that he was probably going to change near the end, which he did, and I'm glad to say he's the hero now to me.
