I love unhinged, mysterious, pretty girl groups with secrets and this def had that. It was pretty predictable but still enjoyable. Didn't really love the ending, seemed too quick compared to all the buildup. Would check out more from the author.

July's pick for Amy McCaw's YA Book Club 2023.

The Details: 
Narrated by Elena Rey
Unabridged

It took me a long while before finally watching the Lost Boys, but I'm glad I had watched that first as I was able to see the inspirations from the start and felt like I can appreciate In Nightfall more in the long run due to this.

In Nightfall really captured this moody atmosphere, whilst simultaneously having the fresh feel of a summer read.

In the back of my head, it felt like this is what Saintsville by Brittani Louise Taylor wanted to emulate.

I adored learning about the lore of Nightfall and the slow reveal of things that go bump in the night.

The characters of Nightfall were intriguing, alluring and mysterious, and I enjoyed seeing the contrast between the bubbly personalities of Theo and her brother, Marco.

The twists and turns were unexpected for me and the action was entertaining. 

This was a lot of fun!

Ugh, Marcus and Theo were soo darned annoying! If I'd realized that they didn't get better I would have DNF'd but once I reached 50% I figured I might as well finish it. The ending was okay, I did figure out who the queen was by around 65%. I did enjoy the humor and it wasn't too gorey until near the end. If the MC wasn't so whiny and slow on the pick up I would have enjoyed it more.

Oregon town has something going on with missing people, gorgeous girls, and Mexican protagonist unwillingly dragged there really couldn't care less - she just wants to get home to her real life and not worry about sweaters and rain and her brother and her mom's new family all the time.

I’m not familiar with Buffy or The Lost Boys so neither of those pop culture references deterred me from reading this. I went into this totally blind, not sure what to expect. Some of the characters I enjoyed such as Nonna but some of the plot points & dialogue were a little predictable. This was a little bit original and stayed true ish to most vampire lore but I didn’t fully understand the purpose of the multitude of female characters - Erica, Anne-Marie, Beatrice and Minnow. I feel like if the characters had been reduced, this might have turned out better. Another round of editing / maybe cut off 50-100 pages could have helped improve this.
