What I Loved
Will Was a Standout MMC: Swoonworthy, charismatic, and surprisingly vulnerable, Will had a depth that made his journey compelling. His struggles and emotional complexity made him one of the most engaging heroes in the series.
Emory’s Strength & Resilience: While she’s definitely a controversial FMC, I personally admired her grit, toughness, and ability to hold her own. Her character arc wasn’t always easy to love, but she was undeniably strong.
An Intense, Thrilling Ride: Nightfall kept the momentum high, delivering suspense, dark romance, and high-stakes drama that kept me engaged. Even when the plot felt convoluted, the energy never let up.
A Satisfying Series Conclusion: Despite its twists and turns, the book wrapped up the Devil’s Night series in a way that felt complete and fulfilling, giving closure to the characters we’ve followed since Corrupt.
What Didn’t Quite Work for Me
A Bit Too Convoluted: Compared to Kill Switch, the story occasionally felt overcomplicated, with so many moving pieces that it was hard to keep track of everything. Some moments could have been streamlined for a smoother narrative.
Who Should Read This?
If you’ve followed the Devil’s Night series from the start, Nightfall is a must-read for its thrilling twists, steamy romance, and the final puzzle pieces of the overarching mystery. Fans of dark romance, enemies-to-lovers dynamics, and morally gray characters will find plenty to love.
Final Thoughts
While Nightfall wasn’t quite as strong as Kill Switch, it was still a wild, pulse-pounding conclusion to the Devil’s Night series. Will was an incredible MMC, Emory brought strength and resilience, and the suspense kept me hooked—even when things got a little too complicated. A solid, thrilling finale that wraps up the series with intensity and emotion.
