I absolutely loved all of the books leading up to this (including Punk 57) but Nightfall fell short for me.. I went into this being really excited for Will’s book, and don’t get me wrong, I still love him and it was still a good book, but it was so long.. The 1st half took me forever to get through and felt like it just dragged on, the 2nd half was much more fast paced, full of action and plot twists. In fact.. so many plot twists, that it almost felt rushed and I somehow found myself reading a mystery instead of dark romance?
I wasn’t a huge fan of Emory, and I even had to take a couple days to really ponder over that.. I mean, I loved the Horsemen even though they were morally questionable to say the least, so was I holding her to a double-standard simply because she was a woman? Nope. I just really didn’t like her. Every other FMC in the series? Love them to pieces 🫶🏻 but something about Emory I just couldn’t get with.
Overall, truly not a terrible book and I still love this series and will go on to read the last novella, but if I were to reread, I’d probably just stop after Kill Switch.
