In Nightfall is for readers seeking to sate their craving for The Lost Boys. Theo and Marco are not expecting there to be violence hidden in the darkness of a small town in Oregon. With themes of siblings, family ties and lust, In Nightfall provides a nostalgic genderbent twist on the cult classic film. Many scenes will be familiar to fans, plus the ending gives Buffy vibes.
The novel is a slow burn and ominous, though I wish the pacing was sped up. The build-up to the ending also didn't pay off for me and I never felt like the main characters were in any danger.
While fun for the nostalgia, In Nightfall isn't overly memorable and it just made me want to watch The Lost Boys.

When Theo finds herself stuck in the spooky town of Nightfall, she is expecting a boring summer break getting to know her grandma and hanging out with her brother. But to her dismay, Summer Love quickly turns to Heads Will Roll—it’s everything Twilight should have been and more. It’s compulsively readable and atmospheric, I love it!
