I really enjoyed this！ However， I felt like it could've been shorter and I wish there was more buildup to the romance and more horror elements。 I really enjoyed this！ However， I felt like it could've been shorter and I wish there was more buildup to the romance and more horror elements。 。。。more

I can’t rate this one—I'm struggling to even write a serious review because I just rolled with the absurdity of this and never took it seriously at all and that made reading it fun。 Truthfully I had NO IDEA what this book was about when I picked it up and it’s not really my style or genre of choice， but I decided to just have fun with the story instead of getting caught up in that fact or that it’s definitely potentially written for a MUCH younger audience-I love YA， but I think this is almost m I can’t rate this one—I'm struggling to even write a serious review because I just rolled with the absurdity of this and never took it seriously at all and that made reading it fun。 Truthfully I had NO IDEA what this book was about when I picked it up and it’s not really my style or genre of choice， but I decided to just have fun with the story instead of getting caught up in that fact or that it’s definitely potentially written for a MUCH younger audience-I love YA， but I think this is almost more middle grade and I was too old to genuinely enjoy it and not just have fun with the campiness of it all。 That being said， I’m definitely team Theo over team Bella （I also still have mild vampire book PTSD after Twilight so if I had known that’s where this story was headed I don’t think I would have read it。） But it was definitely entertaining and very quick and if this doesn’t prove that I will truly read anything set in the PNW， with extra bonus points for moody sleepy rainy towns， I don’t know what will！ 。。。more

Theo doesn’t want to be in Nightfall， though the girls in town are beautiful， friendly， and welcoming。 Even though a young man named Parrish has caught her eye， she still wants to leave。 But something odd is happening in Nightfall， and she’s not finding the answers she seeks。 The deeper she digs， the weirder things get。 With voodoo dolls and lingering smirks， if anyone can get to the bottom of things， it’s Theo。 Young portrayed Theo’s anxiety well， and it’s utterly relatable。 Theo is strong and Theo doesn’t want to be in Nightfall， though the girls in town are beautiful， friendly， and welcoming。 Even though a young man named Parrish has caught her eye， she still wants to leave。 But something odd is happening in Nightfall， and she’s not finding the answers she seeks。 The deeper she digs， the weirder things get。 With voodoo dolls and lingering smirks， if anyone can get to the bottom of things， it’s Theo。 Young portrayed Theo’s anxiety well， and it’s utterly relatable。 Theo is strong and assertive， and doesn’t let her anxiety hold her back。 She’s so funny， she had me laughing out loud a lot。 In Nightfall unfolds at a leisurely pace， leaving the reader just as perplexed by what’s going on as Theo。 Once things start happening， things go fantastically awry。 The town is perfectly creepy， and the storyline is addicting。 A super fun read from start to finish。 。。。more

Hmmm。。。。 a book about a girl from Arizona who reluctantly travels to a town in the Pacific Northwest without a lot of sunlight only to find that town is home to supernaturals？ Seems familiar。。。Base comparisons aside， this books is actually nothing like Twilight， which was a pleasant surprise。 It had a delightfully creepy vibe that drew me in immediately。 And unlike Twilight， there's only the slightest hint of a romance。 Theo's focus is 100% on all the weirdness going on in Nightfall。 In a lot of Hmmm。。。。 a book about a girl from Arizona who reluctantly travels to a town in the Pacific Northwest without a lot of sunlight only to find that town is home to supernaturals？ Seems familiar。。。Base comparisons aside， this books is actually nothing like Twilight， which was a pleasant surprise。 It had a delightfully creepy vibe that drew me in immediately。 And unlike Twilight， there's only the slightest hint of a romance。 Theo's focus is 100% on all the weirdness going on in Nightfall。 In a lot of YA books with supernatural happenings， the main characters are either oblivious or just accept the weirdness without too much thought， so it was refreshing to see a main character who acknowledges the weirdness and tries to figure out what's happening without any romantic nonsense。This book's one weakness is the pacing。 Everything but the last quarter of the book was perfect， but the ending's pacing was just all over the place。 It felt way too rushed to the extent that certain plot points that felt pretty major （like the fate of certain significant characters） was just glossed over。 Some pieces felt like they didn't get the emotional beats or resolution that they deserved。 The mythology was also not explained well， in my opinion。 There's such a huge mystery of what's going on， but the explanation of the rules for the world was pretty lacking。Despite this， it was an incredibly entertaining read， especially if you're a fan of （or vehemently hate） the YA supernatural stories of the 2010s。3。5 Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC！ 。。。more

Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC of this novel。 3。5/5 stars。 This was a mid read。 I loved the concept and felt serious Buffy vibes along with some gravity falls inspo （it’s always the PNW）。 Our main character finds herself n a quaint town in Oregon for the summer after her and her brother royally mess up while dealing with the divorce of their parents…but of course this town isn’t what it seems。 There’s romance， queen bees， a mystery to be solved， and some maybe possibly dead bodi Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC of this novel。 3。5/5 stars。 This was a mid read。 I loved the concept and felt serious Buffy vibes along with some gravity falls inspo （it’s always the PNW）。 Our main character finds herself n a quaint town in Oregon for the summer after her and her brother royally mess up while dealing with the divorce of their parents…but of course this town isn’t what it seems。 There’s romance， queen bees， a mystery to be solved， and some maybe possibly dead bodies？ Oh， and the grandmother who is superstitious but won’t give any explanation besides just that they need to listen to her。 I liked it。 It was a good thriller but I also think about 1/4 of the book is unnecessary for the plot。 The ending was my favorite part with the serious buffy vibes…but I also have SO many questions and things didn’t get developed as well as I wish they would。 I could def see this being a mini series or a movie though。 。。。more

I usually hate vampire stories， but this wasn't one where they sparkle or seem nice and have alternatives。 These vamps are the terrible， blood sucking ones you've always been warned about。 And this made all the difference for me。 Definitely wanted to see more where she knew， but for the most part it was good。 Real review to come to my : blog！ I usually hate vampire stories， but this wasn't one where they sparkle or seem nice and have alternatives。 These vamps are the terrible， blood sucking ones you've always been warned about。 And this made all the difference for me。 Definitely wanted to see more where she knew， but for the most part it was good。 Real review to come to my : blog！ 。。。more

This was a quick and enjoyable read。 I really liked Theo and Marco， and their relationship with each other。 It did take a bit to get to the juicy vampire bits， but that didn't really bother me。 I loved that Theo got to meet two of her favorite podcasters， and really enjoyed the episode we got to see on the page and read all about the weirdness of Nightfall。 Once all the vampirery stuff comes out everything starts happening pretty fast， and at any given point I wasn't sure which one of the charac This was a quick and enjoyable read。 I really liked Theo and Marco， and their relationship with each other。 It did take a bit to get to the juicy vampire bits， but that didn't really bother me。 I loved that Theo got to meet two of her favorite podcasters， and really enjoyed the episode we got to see on the page and read all about the weirdness of Nightfall。 Once all the vampirery stuff comes out everything starts happening pretty fast， and at any given point I wasn't sure which one of the characters would be making it to the end of the book。 There are plenty of unexpected twists and turns， and their grandma who prefers to be called Nonna became one of my favorite people， she is super badass。 。。。more
