Novel Reflection: Hush,Hush - Becca Fitzpatrick

Nora Grey, ordinary, top-class, student has been best friends with Vee Sky all her life, and when the Biology teacher decides to change the seating arrangement,Nora finds herself stuck with Patch, extremely dark and mysterious, but hypnotizing. She finds herself mindlessly thinking and dreaming about him, she soon develops deep feelings for him despite the fact that he's very dangerous, Nora can't help it.
  Aside from Patch, she has been stalked by a ski-masked guy, and he seems to want to kill Nora. As Nora and Patch's relationship begins to grow, she find out the disturbing truth about Patch, he is actually an angel, a Fallen Angel to be exact, he was cast out of heaven and during two weeks at the start of the Hebrew month of Cheshvan, Patch, a fallen angel takes over the body of a mixed-breed, Nephil by forcing them to swear an oath of fealty. Centuries ago, when Patch was cast down he chose a Nephil ,Chauncey, to possess his body and ever since then Patch has continuously taken Chauncey's body and made it his own very Cheshvan. Chauncey swore that he'll one day make Patch pay for what he did to him, since Chauncey figured out that Patch is in love with Nora, he was been stalking her and attempting to kill her to cause Patch to suffer. Nora also finds out shes the female descendant of Nephil, and if she sacrifices herself she might just be able to save both herself and Patch from Chauncey.

The plot was very unique, and the set up of the story was very well organized too. The characters however, reading Nora narrating the story was so annoying I cursing the girl for being so stupid at times. For example, she knows Patch is dangerous and he's dark and still time after time she trusts him and thinks about him mindlessly and when he admitted her about him attempting to kill her, she still stays calm and act like it's a very normal confession. What the FLUFF? I would've gone psycho! I had issues with the characters and how they were build up, other than that the story was great.
