Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - Nightfall

🔥 Move aside Damon Torrance, because William Greyson III has completely stolen my heart, leaving no trace behind!

🖤 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.

this was by far my favourite in the series. if the whole book was them in blackchurch it might've been like 4.5 stars or higher because i really loved the vibes and the dynamics there - it kinda reminded me why i love reading RH because my favourite RH series are actually pretty similar vibes wise.

i think being able to personally relate to a lot of emmy's experience made the book hit a lot harder for me than the others in this series, because PD managed to portray how it feels to walk on eggshells like that surprisingly accurately. the prose isn't amazing and there were a few spelling/grammar issues (nowhere near as bad as a lot of other DR tho imo) but i found the flashbacks so moving. in most of the other books i found the flashback chapters a bit of a chore to read but i was tearing through these!

i liked damon even more in this book. it might be because his "friendship" with emory felt realistic and pretty natural (especially compared to rika in kill switch lol) so it less like a character assassination than in his book. speaking of rika, i liked her a lot more in nightfall - she also felt more authentic than she did in kill switch! for some reason a lot of alex's scenes and interactions felt somewhat forced or out of character and i can't put a finger on why exactly. there seemed to be a big emphasis on her relationship with will and their past hookups to the point it felt like overkill but

her with aydin was perfect and i'm really relieved they ended up together

.

i really liked the characterisation in this book and ended up liking the new characters way more than i expected. i was scared i'd end this book not caring about emmy and will's relationship since he's been obsessed with her since like the first book but it was developed well + i could understand why they fell in love. however, the last bit of the book (and the epilogue) fell a little flat for me and i'm not sure why, other than the pacing. i think it might be because there was so many characters together it was just a lot to keep track of, or something like that? anyways in regards to the

train scene i'm so glad damon gave all the guys a little discipline bc i thought he was just witnessing that and it disturbed me a little that he was cool with all that

CRYING, SCREAMING AND THROWING UPPPP
WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S OVER????
I pretty much knew from the beginning that Will was my favorite (Kai being second). This man is a die-hard simp and I love that for him. Mans is feisty too, and despite being warm and the one who makes people laugh, he can be cold as ice. I highlighted and annotated so much in the kindle app, but I think this may be my favorite in the series, hideaway being a close second.
I really like the concept of Blackchurch. Where powerful people send their kids that can't act right. But man from the beginning of this book I was mad as hell that Martin wasn't there because that man is a whole ass DEMON. He got what he deserved every time it came to him, and Kai and Will are kings for beating the snot out of the MF. If it were me, they wouldn't have gone to prison for it but that's because FUCK COPS.
I love that Emory and Will found each other again and that time didn't change anything. They were meant to be. I love the masks returning, as well, and the friendship between Emory and Damon is UNMATCHED. Damon's still an asshole but the shared understanding they have is everything <3.
I love that in every book in the series, the horsemen have growth. They're menaces to everyone else, but they love each other so much.

I feel like I don't know what to do now that the series is over.
