3.0

The book was ruined because they spent too much time trying to round out the series (which they did not do well) rather than focusing on Will and Emory. Also the complete 180 with Alex and Aydin was ridiculous.

If you like miscommunication, toxic relationships, and hard to read abuse with very sweet flashbacks of falling in love: this ones a great book to read! 

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.

If you have come this far, you will love this. Nightfall is the grand finale for the Devil’s Night series that we all deserve.

Blackchurch is where the rich and powerful send their trouble sons for them to “cool off”, a quiet gilded prison, if you will. Will Grayson has been here a year when Emory Scott, the woman he loves and hasn’t seen in ten years appears out of nowhere. Emory fucked up and knows Will want vengeance. Too bad that he’s not alone inside.

⭐️- World building and characters
⭐️- Plot
⭐️- Main character
⭐️- Love interest
⭐️- Tension / chemistry 

I loooved Emory Scott with all my heart. By far the best female Horseman. She’s such a good narrator and never came off as annoying. Of course we have our Will and i love that he always loved Emory. As always, Penelope delivered a good plot for the Devil’s Night and gave the series a good ending. What else could I ask?
