The pacing AGAIN in this book is so bizarre and so bad. It's like a switch gets flipped to make the characters suddenly "lovey" and romantic. Horrible romantic resolution. The action is by far the best part of this book.
I also like the trope of "dumb character actually turns out to be a genius".

I disagree that you need to read the books before this in the series - I didn’t know it was a series until the end, & had no trouble following the plot and other details.

🖤 For over 75% of the book, I was an emotional wreck, thanks to Penelope Douglas. Tears flowed, frustrations rose – I wanted to both hug Will tightly and shake some sense into Emory!
🎠 Emory's transformation was admirable, but did she have to shatter Will into a million pieces? I understood her struggles, but oh, the agony of watching Will's heart break over and over again!
🖤 Will's yearning for Emory's love was gut-wrenching, his desperation palpable. Yet, his grip on her was so tight, he didn't realize he was pushing her away until it was too late.
🎠 This rollercoaster of a story leaves you torn between alliances, questioning who's right and who's wrong. With twists that keep you on the edge, I couldn't bear to put the book down, yet dreaded reaching the end.
🖤 And let's talk about the steamy scenes – Will brought the heat like no other! Each encounter adding depth to the plot, enhancing the allure of their connection.

"Be Lilith," the girls said.
Athos pulled the Red Death over her eyes, all of us setting off as she whispered. “Never Eve."
Oh wow holie. This was a great end to the series. I can now say for sure that Will & Kai are my faves out of the entire lot. So much to unpack but nightfall was probably the most interesting and least misogynistic one out of all 4.

This book was a good way to end the series, although this one personally was the “least realistic”. Will is hard to love for me, but the flashbacks were making me fall in love with him. Emory is very hard to love but for the wrong reasons for me.. she clearly is a victim in MANY ways, but I feel like she prolonged a lot of communication the entire book (NOT in the flashbacks though- that was reasonable given her situation).
This book did have me fall in love with Damon even more, Kill Switch being my favorite of the series.
