In Nightfall

Product Information

In town, the siblings run into some of the locals: three girls named Minnow, Beatrice and Annemarie who are gorgeous and charismatic. They also meet a boy named Parrish who’s moody and attractive and maybe into Theo, but that’s up for debate. PS: Where the hell does Buffy come into this? The fancy dress and vampire-staking at the end? Bit of a stretch. The description of the book was not fooling around when it mentioned The Lost Boys. You will get the vibes in a very strong fashion. Much stronger than the Buffy the Vampire Slayer ones. Just saying. In the quaint town of Nightfall, Oregon, it isn’t the dark you should be afraid of—it’s the girls. The Lost Boys meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer in this propulsive novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Treatment. Dragging your kids across 2 state lines to live with you and the grandmother they never met is a torture all on its on. But knowing the dangers of after-dark activities and allowing them to go out is the most irresponsible thing a fictional father has done in a while. Especially when you don’t even try to help. A+ human being *heavy sarcasm*

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. In the quaint town of Nightfall, Oregon, it isn't the dark you should be afraid of—it's the girls. The Lost Boys meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer in this propulsive novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Treatment. Once their curfew gets lifted, Theo begins to notice things about Nightfall and its residents that have her questioning her sanity – and the locals. When Theo learns the truth, it might be too late to save anyone or leave. And in my professional opinion, it’s pretty hard to escape a town full of vampires. Theodora ‘aka Theo’ and her brother Marco throw the biggest party of the year and get caught. Their punishment is to leave Arizona and go to a mysterious little town that has a population of over 800 souls. Their father grew up in this town, and after the divorce, he needed a change. Theo must endure this summer, her superstitious grandmother Nonna, and the rainy beachside.The people of this town seem friendly and are welcoming of new people at Nightfall. However, Theo and Marco’s grandmother is strangely antisocial. Upon their arrival, she only has one house rule: always be home before dark. But Theo and Marco are determined to make the most of their summer. On their first day, they already meet three amazing girls named Minnow, Annemarie, and Beatrice. There’s just something about them that’s alluring and fun to be around. They are charismatic, gorgeous, and have a magnetic pull that Theo and her brother can’t resist. They welcome them with open arms and insist they join the festivities that lurk in the Nightfall dark.

Lastly, I am chanting for Nonna for being the best badass grandma I wish to have! She’s legendary! You’ll understand me completely when you devour the entire premise! I thought Young did a great job with developing Theo and Marco. I got that they were two siblings struggling with their parent's divorce, and their mom moving on without them. I also loved the other characters we get to meet and Theo's mysterious grandmother. I hate being THIS PERSON, but this definitely could have used another round of editing. A couple slips are absolutely no problem for me, but constant sentences where you can tell a word was supposed to be deleted stagnate the flow and bring me out of the story altogether. Pure escapism reading which was nostalgic and fun. This book made my inner vampire loving teen self very happy.

Leave Arizona to spend the summer with their grandmother in the rainy beachside town of Nightfall, Oregon--population 846 souls. Theo and her brother, Marco, threw the biggest party of the year.
