Nightfall Devil's Night #4

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas comes the thrilling, final installment in the Devil’s Night series… What happens when it's five against one and nowhere to run? 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.

This was a five-star, favorite, addictive read with so many angst and longing… and then Alex showed up and dropped it back to a four.
I like Alex, but the story was going in such a fun direction, and I was sucked in and … then the rest of the story happened.
Emory and Will became side characters of their own story, with all the previous characters and Alex taking up too much of the story, especially the intimate scenes. They literally barely interacted after the first half of the book. The other characters were taking up too much room.
50% of the story was 10/10, five stars... then the rest was whatever.
Will and Emory were my favorite of the couples, so the first 340 pages was absolute fire for me. I loved the flashbacks and also the story inside Blackchurch. I stayed up super late reading, because I couldn’t stop at the first 50%.
Once they left Blackchurch, I was disappointed.
It had amazing foundation and then dropped off.
Don’t know why so many other characters were involved in a majority of the intimate scenes, especially Alex. We had like two scenes with so much angst, passion, and longing of the two of them together alone and then group sex!? Huh?!
With the person you hate and has been in love with your man? Huh?
Alex, miss thing, this wasn’t your book, please go away!
I wanted more of what the Blackchurch greenhouse was giving.
The train scene made me uncomfy, and I’ve read a lot of saucy romances. But it was actually icky. I physically put down the book for a few minutes because I got the ick and knew what was happening once Alex asked for the dang shoes. I needed the strength to get through it.
The intimate scenes of the two of them were so personal, and the group stuff and other scenes felt so sterile, cold, and just plan smutty for the heck of it. I didn’t feel their love. Will was just there. Could’ve been a cardboard cutout at that point. Gave nothing of their earlier scenes.
Too many people; give me the angst from the first 50%!
Also, I thought it was kind of weird that it barely touched his drinking and drug use. That was basically all they talked about with him in the rest of the series. He was always blacked out or drunk, and they never really talked about it here. It was like in one flashback, but he wasn’t drunk, and then he was cured from being off of it for a year? Weird. That was kind of his characterization in the other books.
Ultimately left me disappointed because the first half was serving, and then the quality dropped quickly.
I will be pondering this disappointment and let down for a while; it will haunt me. I haven’t read one to this level in quite some time.

overall loved it agh cryin’ rn they are all a family and they are all so happy i will probably never get over devil’s night series i feel so empty bc i finished the series for the 3nd time love willemory sm agh - the proposal for wedding, and them in general - agh so fucking good also damon wanting to have a daughter is really cute dammit i’m so happy por michealrika for having a child my dear emmy deserved sm better, i relate to her sm and will he also deserve sm better the angst is fucking incredible, there is some plot that doesn't matter but we can live it. - “Don’t you know that you can have anything you want? I’ll hurt anyone for you. Who is it?” he asked. “Who do I have to hurt?” - “Abuse can feel like love. Starving people will eat anything” - “Emory Scott hated me(...) It shouldn't hurt. But it did (...). I always liked her. I always looked for her, And over the years, passing her in the halls and feeling her in the classroom next to me, she got hot as fuck in ways no one else seemed to notice but me. God, she had a mouth on her. I loved her attitude and her anger, because I was always too warm and I needed the ice. It made me smile. But I also saw things no one else did.” - “We want what we want.” - "Sorry, D. That's her seat now." - “All my friends loved the control. Loved to hold them down and make them beg for it like Rika, Banks, and Winter were their toys. Not me. She dominated me, and I didn’t want it any other way. In the classroom, in the library, in the movie theater, in my truck… Watching her cash in on my ass was better than actual sex. I could be a bad boy, and I needed to be disciplined.” - “Come hell or high water, Emory Scott. You’re my woman, and you’re going to come home to me every day and sit at my table and warm my fucking bed.” He kissed me. “And you’re going to give me a Will Grayson IV. Mark my words.” - ""I bought Milk Duds and Twizzlers."I chuckled under my breath. "I don't know why because I was on my own, and I didn't need all that candy, but I didn't eat the Milk Duds." I swallowed, staring deep into his eyes. "I couldn't help but think... 'Will would love this." My eyes stung, but I blinked away the tears, knowing exactly why I bought the Milk Duds. They were Will's." - She raised her finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet before she slipped inside with a mischievous smile and closed the door. I laughed to myself and turned back around, jogging up the stairs to the door in the gallery. Grabbing the handle, I glanced over my shoulder one more time and saw Kai Mori. He headed to the back of the church, and my heart skipped a beat as I watched him enter the confessional, the door to the left of the priest's chamber to make his confession. Only it wasn't a priest in there. I snorted. Oh, shit." kaibanks <3 - "I looked over again, seeing Damon straddle a motorbike as Winter Ashby stood next to him, fastening a helmet. I tensed, about to wonder what the hell he thought he was doing out here with the kid. But as she climbed on behind him, he looked over his. shoulder at her, something written in his smile I'd never seen in him before. Tenderness. She wrapped her arms around his waist and she squealed as they sped off out of the square, disappearing down a street." winterdamon <3 - “I’d loved Emory since the moment I laid eyes on her when I was fourteen. I could still see her-sitting on her bike outside the chainlink fence surrounding the school parking lot as she watched. My friends and me on our skateboards that summer. From that moment on, it seemed I was always aware of her, and everything I did, I did it with it in mind that she was watching. Every joke in class. Every strut into the lunchroom. Every new haircut and every new pair of jeans. Even the Raptor. My first thought when my parents bought you it was how she'd look in"(...)"I hated that she was alone. She was always alone, and she shouldn't have been, because she should've been with me." - “That was my girl, scarred, tattered soul, and all. She was beautiful.” "The only time I ever loved my life was when I was with you." "I was always your Em," she whispered. "No matter what I said or what I did or all the ways I let life win over the years.. That night, I knew. I was in love with you." - “In my heart, she was still my girl.” - “Emory Scott loves Will Grayson,” I murmured.” “I reached for you,” I told her. “In my head, all these years. Even after you dumped me like trash and I couldn’t fall out of love with you no matter how much I drank and snorted, my brain reached for you always.” “When nothing gave me a reason to get out of bed, my friends were falling in love, making babies, and I felt so alone… “What do you think was the only thing that made me keep breathing?” “In my brain, I reached for you. I never stopped reaching for you.” And she let her brother tell my family that, not only did I not love her, but I passed her around for my friends to abuse like she was nothing. When she was everything.” - “It’s yours now.” He met my eyes. “It’s been yours for nearly ten years.” - “And I buried my face in her neck, feeling everything start. My life. Our life. We won.” - “This was always our story. We want what we want.” - “God, she was fun. Happy, unhappy, sad, and hot—I never stopped loving that she was in my life. Her strengths made me feel lucky to be a part of her, and her weaknesses brought out the best in me. I rose to every occasion with her like I never had with anyone else.” - ""You either have my back," Michael said. "You're at my side," Kai continued. "Or you're in my way,'" the rest of us finished. "Be Lilith," the girls said. Athos pulled the Red Death over her eyes, all of us setting off as she whispered. "Never Eve."

this book was a breakthrough, a fresh air for that the setting is away from the other horsemen and their cowgirls. i say the concept was unique and interesting. this book is the most fun part of the series, even topped kill switch.


will is so freaking hot, i tell you. emmy? she's a warrior, a certified and unattainable for one. this book feels like a treasure of what's missing in the previous book. i really love it and at several scenes, warms my heart. i love everything about this book; the friendship, the character development, just everything.


though, this book makes me love damon even more. their dynamic? the bromance and sexual confusion, they're fruity for each other. twisted in anyway, so lovable.


i love emmy's pov the most; homegirl been anywhere she wasn't supposed to be, her pov is sooooo adventurous yet so heartbreaking. the scene where she made will blindfold himself so he didn't see her bruises. I FUCKING HATE MARTIN.


alex. alex. alex. i love her sooo much she's so cool. also rory???? he's a serial killer omg I SHOULDN'T FEEL THAT WAY TOWARDS HIM BUT I DID!!!!


i love this book, SO MUCH.

I actually loved this book way more than I expected. It was so refreshing to finally see a fmc so dominating and powerful (not saying the other cowgirls weren't, they very much were) and not be so quick to forgive the horsemen for some of the shit things they did to them. This book really tied the whole series together, and while it did take a little longer to finish, the way Emory gets to witness little scenes from the other novels is so sweet (Nikova getting into the confessional with Kai, Damon and Winter riding the motorbike e.t.c). It loses a star for the most confusing ending. Especially with all the children they end up having, and this random little girl running around with Rika and Micheal, there were just too many names to remember. It got to a point where it was a who's who and I'd say I'd need to draw up a family tree before the novella. All and all a great book to finish the majority of the series, and I'm excited to start to read the end.

OMG I FUCKING LOVED THIS

I think emory and will might be my favourite couple

Emory - I LOVE her sm (i feel like all the girls are top tier). I really empathised with her and saw myself in a lot of her thoughts. She tortured herself for years because she didn’t trust anyone and thought she was all alone in the world. I felt connected to her but she could definitely still hold her own. I loved the way she witnessed so many history making scenes, it just really made the series and her so much better. I was OBSSESSED with her relationship with Damon and Alex.

Will - OMGGG he exceeded all expectations in this book. i feel like we really did get a whole other side to will in this book and i really enjoyed it. He’s like my joint 1st boy. He’s funny, caring, loyal and hotttt

I’m not gonna talk about the other character too much cause i’ll do that in my novella review buttttt



My fave quotes 💕💕

"What do you think was the only thing that made me keep breathing? … In my brain, I reached for you. I never stopped reaching for you" - Will

"I wanted him to know he deserved better. I wanted him to know that if 1 were someone else, I'd be his and I'd love him so good." - Emory

"I'd loved Emory since the moment I laid eyes on her when I was fourteen." - Will

"The only time I ever loved my life was when I was with you." - Emory

"I hated that she was alone. She was always alone, and she shouldn't have been, because she should've been with me." - Will

" was always your Em she whispered … No matter what I said or what I did or all the ways I let life win over the years… That night, I knew. I was in love with you." - Emory

"I'm wild crazy for you, and I'm sure I'll kill you at some point, but... God, I love you so much and I want you to marry me. Marry me, Will Grayson." - Emory

"Abuse can feel like love... Starving people will eat anything" - Damon

"come hell or high water, emory scott. you're my woman." - Will

"because he's the one, pure, beantiful thing untainted by ugliness. and we love him for it” - Damon

“ you just make me want to better.” “Better?” “more. no one ever expects more from me." - Will and Emory

“ I mean look at them. banks, winter, em, rika...woman are only vulnerable because they're the last to be taught to fight. I want to put woman like them into the world." - Damon <3

“it's been yours for nearly ten years." -Will




I really enjoyed getting to know micah and rory. I still don’t even know how to feel about Aydin. Taylor’s just a bad person.

I loved the plot in this book and the character development was top tier. It really had me on the edge of my seat wanting it find out more and more about these characters and what happened to them.

This books spice was more out there in terms of it being in groups and peoples sexuality, it wasn’t all boy / girl. But i really enjoyed it still, although it was a bit too much for my little brain at some points and caught me so off guard.

Despite it being over 700 pages, this book didn’t feel too slow paced or boring, it had me completely interested the WHOLE TIME.

This boom honestly caught me off guard with how much i loved it. it was written so well and possibly my favourite book of the series. On par with kill switch i’d say.

In my fire night review i’ll give my overall option on the series and my overall rating and favourite people/ relationships <333

4.5 ⭐️ this book made me feel so dirty. LIKE DAMN. this is the dirtiest book in the series and i loved it😎 and because of blackchurch the book was so different from the others, and i think that was needed. this book just made me feel extra closer to everyone which is kinda sad since this is the end, but it was fun while it lasted👊 “knock, knock” “come in” Will was the sweetest and i loved him. the push and pull between them was so frustrating but it made it all the more exciting! i loved Em also! i mean i love every woman in this series cuz they’re all badass. i don’t know if i want to be them or be with them tbh… well i gotta go read fire night💃

“Take care of him.” He touched my arm, leaning in. “He’s kind of my favorite.” “Ugh,” Misha said, walking past us, clearly hearing. I held back my snort, Mr. Grayson shot his other grandson a look. “That one’s like me,” he whispered. “Too much like me.” “So of course, you don’t get along,” I joked. “Nope.” He looked after Misha with a kind smile. “I do like his style, though. I had a pretty nice black leather jacket back in the day.”

He pulled it out, pinching a vintage Victorian ring with a teardrop diamond and a platinum band encrusted with more jewels, encased by an ornate setting above and below. It was almost like three rings in one, and nearly an inch in width. “It’s very old,” Will said, slipping it onto my finger, his hand shaking. “It’s your family’s?” “It’s yours now.” He met my eyes. “It’s been yours for nearly ten years.” I stared up at him, tears blurring my vision. He was going to ask me himself? I took his face in my hands and looked into his eyes, our noses nearly touching as our life up, until this point, played through my head. The pool at school and the feel of his body in the movie theater. Dancing at Homecoming and him sweeping me into his arms and carrying me to his bed at Blackchurch. The intoxicating scent of his truck, and the rain on the bus windows, hiding us inside. There was so much more than the fights and the pain. “I’m marrying you,” I whispered. He nodded. “’Bout time you caught up.”

“Will you marry me?” I asked, breathing hard and my heart hammering. Slowly, I climbed to my feet and turned to face him, seeing him stopped. He stood there, frozen, not turning around, but that was okay. I wasn’t sure I could do this if he looked at me. God, my mouth was so dry I couldn’t swallow. “I love you,” I said, and I could see people filming us with their phones out of the corner of my eye, but I didn’t care. “I’m wild crazy for you, and I’m sure I’ll kill you at some point, but… God, I love you so much, and I want you to marry me.” More tears streamed down my face as I choked out the words. “Marry me, Will Grayson.” I rushed up and hugged his back, wrapping my arms around him. “Can you marry me? Can I marry you?”

I spotted a courier outside and opened my mouth to tell the guys I’d see them in a while, but then, all of a sudden, a punch landed in my gut, and I hunched over, barely registering Damon moving to Kai, and then Michael next. He threw a punch across Kai’s jaw and landed an uppercut right in Michael’s stomach. “Ugh!” Michael growled as I winced. “Man, what the fuck?” Kai barked, rubbing his face. I looked up at Damon, the pain in my abs like a knot tightening over and over again. He inhaled a deep breath, fixing the lapels of his suit jacket. “I’d rather not walk in on my sisters in some weirdo, bacchanalian sex fest ever again,” he stated. “Understand?” He didn’t wait for an answer. Spinning around with his lips tight, he stalked off the train as the rest of us tried to stand up straight again. Shit. He saw that last night? Fuck.

“You’re going to remember this, Will Grayson,” she said, sounding all tough. “I blew your mind tonight. Even for just a minute.” She turned over, giving me her back, and I smiled, smoothing the hair off her face and neck. You’ve been blowing my mind for forever.

“My sweet, little secret,” he murmured. He breathed hard and pushed me back onto the seat, looking down into my eyes as he reached between us to guide himself. The thick head of his dick crowned my entrance, pushing inside just barely, and I shifted uncomfortably. “Will…” “You’ll be mine,” he whispered, pressing himself deeper and deeper. I groaned, stretching for him. “You can ignore me. You can run,” he said, grunting and tipping his head back as he closed his eyes. “You can leave. You can hide…” He slid in, burying himself to the hilt and filling me so wide and deep that I cried out just once. “But you’re going to be fucking mine someday,” he growled. “Come hell or high water, Emory Scott. You’re my woman, and you’re going to come home to me every day and sit at my table and warm my fucking bed.” He kissed me. “And you’re going to give me a Will Grayson IV. Mark my words.”

“God, I wanna knock you up,” he said, rising up and looking down at me as he took out a condom. “I want to ruin you for all the times you made me think you didn’t want me. I want to give you a piece of me you’ll never be able to escape.” His eyebrows were etched in anger, and for a moment, I wished he could. I’d love to have an excuse to drag him into my hellish life and keep him there forever. I shot up, looking up at him as I took the rubber, unwrapping it myself as I kissed his stomach. “Then pretend you are,” I whispered. “Pretend you’re going to knock me up and we’re going to do this every day."

"When the bus stops, get in my fucking truck." I breathed out a bitter laugh. Aw, someone’s lost his temper. “Why?” I asked. And the next thing I know, the bus stopped, he yanked the earbuds out of my ears, and I sucked in a breath as he leaned into my face. “Because you’re mine,” he growled in a whisper.

A hand slipped under mine, warm and smooth, and I snapped my head left, seeing Will in the seat next to me. What…? A lump filled my throat as I gaped at the side of his face, wanting to be raging mad that he was there and touching me again without my permission, but… He curled his fingers, gripping me, and…and it took a moment to get a hold of myself. Finally, I forced a scowl and yanked my hand away. Or tried to.

He pulled me in, and I opened my mouth to protest, but instead of a kiss, he just pulled me into his arms, pressed my head to his shoulder, and wrapped his arms around me so tight, it felt like he was the one about to break, not me. I stilled, not sure what to do, but I could feel every muscle in his body flex as he held me and took deep breaths. And slowly, I closed my eyes, every ounce of fight draining out of me, feeling his embrace. It had been so long since I felt this. My grandmother was hardly lucid enough to hug me much anymore. My arms itched, wanting to touch him. God, I wanted to hold him. But before I could work up the courage to pull away or hug him back, he whispered, “I’m not like that.” And he pulled up, staring down at me almost nose to nose. “And I’ll see you on the bus tomorrow night, Emory Scott.”

I just didn’t like old books. Third person, wonky paragraphs a mile long, and some dumb academic trying to force me to believe there’s profound meaning in the author’s overwritten description of a piece of furniture I don’t give two shits about. I’m pretty sure the author doesn’t even know what they were trying to do in the first place, and they were probably just high on laudanum when they wrote it.

Honestly though.
