✨ Book Review - Nightfall by Penelope Douglas ✨
EMORY
They call it Blackchurch. A secluded mansion in a remote, undisclosed location where the wealthy and powerful send their misbehaving sons to cool off away from prying eyes.
Will Grayson has always been an animal, though. Reckless, wild, and someone who was never bound by a single rule other than to do exactly what he wanted. There was no way his grandfather was going risk him humiliating the family again.
Not that the last time was entirely his fault. He might’ve enjoyed backing me into corners in high school when no one was looking, so they wouldn’t catch on that Mr. Popular actually wanted a piece of that quiet, little nerd he loved to torture so much, but…
He could also be warm. And fierce in keeping me safe.
The truth is… He has a right to hate me.
It’s all my fault. Everything.
Devils Night. The videos. The arrests.
I’m to blame for all of it.
And I regret nothing.
WILL
I never minded being locked up. I learned a long time ago that being treated like an animal gives you permission to act like one. No one has ever looked at me any other way.
Their only mistake is believing anything I do is an accident. I can sit in this house with no Internet, television, liquor, or girls, but I’ll come out of here with something far more frightening to my enemies.
A plan.
And a new pack of wolves.
I just didn’t expect one of my enemies to come to me.
I don’t know who smuggled her in or if they meant to leave her here, but I can smell her hiding in the house. She’s here.
And as the security detail leaves the supplies, the gates close, and the door to my gilded cage opens, giving me free reign of the house and grounds for another unsupervised month, I remember with a smile…
Blackchurch houses five prisoners. I’m only one of her problems.
*Nightfall is a full-length, romantic suspense suitable for readers 18+. It’s necessary to read the prior installments in the series before starting this story.
What am I supposed to do with my life now!?
Whew! That was one crazy ride! Oh my gosh. Nightfall was everything I was hoping for, but also everything I didn’t know I needed. As you all know, Nightfall is thick! And I am so glad for that. There was so much going on, being revealed, and wrapped up in this book. And Penelope did a fantastic job wrapping up the Devils night series. Though, I’m always down for more, just saying. 😏
“The role of the villain is only determined by who’s telling the story.”
I just realized in rating my review too, that every book in this series has been a five star read for me. I’m not sure that’s ever happened for me. Penelope Douglas is a Queen.
I took my time reading this one. It was bittersweet because I’m sad to see this series finally come to an end. But it was SO worth the wait. Will and Emory are everything! Gosh, these two killed me.
“I am not scared,” he repeated. “I am the eye of the storm. The calm in the madness.”
You think this book is just about their love story, though? Heck, no. There was so much going on, that I wasn’t bored for even a second. And that’s hard to do for me with a book this long! I couldn’t get enough of Will and Emory and everything happening. It felt like coming home, diving back into this world.
And let me just say, Pen stepped up the heat level in this one. Whew! The heat was sizzling off the pages.
Gah! Can I just like never leave this world!?
I had all these plans for this amazing review I would write and instead I’m just gushing, but I can’t help it! Also, I don’t want to spoil anything. So just read it for yourselves! Believe me, it has been well worth the wait to get this fantastic end to one of the best series I’ve ever read. I’m gonna miss my horseman. 🖤
