Closing out the Devil’s Night series with Fire Night felt less like an ending and more like being invited into the legacy the Horsemen have built. Watching them grow from reckless, thrill-chasing teens into adults focused on found family and tradition was honestly the perfect payoff. What makes this novella so special is that their story isn’t just about them anymore—it’s about what they pass down, and how the consequences of their choices ripple into the next generation.
One of the standout elements for me was the diversity of neurodivergence threaded into the narrative. It gave the world more depth, more realism, and made it feel that much more lived-in. And let’s be real—Penelope Douglas is unmatched at giving us characters who are flawed, messy, and sometimes deeply inappropriate… but who we can’t help but love, relate to, or root for anyway.
The smutty scenes? Always delicious. The morally gray dilemmas? Boundary-pushing in the best way. The growth of these characters? Proof that Douglas loves them as much as her readers do.
As a whole, the Devil’s Night series isn’t just about the thrill of revenge plots or forbidden attraction—it’s about family, legacy, redemption, and the courage to live wildly outside the boxes we’re handed. Fire Night makes you feel like these characters’ stories are far from over, and honestly? I hope they aren’t.
And while we’re here, let’s not forget: Credence still owns a piece of my heart. Team Uncle Jake forever (though no shade to the ending—it’s still haunting me, which says a lot).
If Penelope Douglas writes it, I’ll read it. Period.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ across the board.
