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

I had no clue what I wanted or who I wanted to be. I just wanted my people, and I wanted the girl of my dreams. Originating from Dubuque, Iowa, Douglas has since gone on to become a New York Times bestselling author. 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. 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.I hate her brother Martin so so much, it was so disgusting how he used his function as an officer on her. You know what was the nastiest thing? The way he bought her sorry presents after he abused her. Did you know this man forced her to eat and then fed her himself while holding her hand to her mouth, do you know what he did? he smashed the fork all the way to her throat at every bite she took. 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."

Emmy...Now Emmy was the Damon of this book. She was the one who caused the pain, who was in pain and who was both hurting on the inside and lashing out on the outside. Her past was heartbreaking and her present painted the utter greyness of her character really well. We're completely in the dark about her and we don't find out until much later what happened. When Misha suddenly stops replying, Ryen becomes worried, she needs someone to talk to, someone who would genuinely listen. You were always pathetic,” I told him, sneering. “You know that? Always so naïve and clueless and pathetic.”The Hero(s): Will Grayson – Will has been seen as the lush of the group in previous books, but there is much more to him. He doesn’t know what he wants in life, he thinks he is less than his friends because he doesn’t have ambition like Michael, or determination like Damon or a set path in life like Kai. He has been in love with Emory for years but she rebuffed his advances and he went to Jail for beating her abusive brother who was a cop. All the times he was alone with her, inside of her, coming and forgetting about you,” he told Emmy. “You can see it, right?” disgusting. there are so many more shit like this, for what reason pls???? That said, the orgies didn’t bother me. In fact, I kinda sorta liked this book. And the reason for that is . . . before i get into my rant because i will do that again, i just want to say that i LOVED the past chapters. reading about Emory and what she went through? i was crying. i was so emotional and i don't even know why. i just know that i wanted to hug her. like- she was just so alone and ughh that hit me. that hit real hard. and the passion? romance? longing? a s t r o n o m i c a l. it was so good.

I saw him. I heard him. The things that he did, and the deeds that he hid…For years, I bit my nails, unable to look away. It’s time Damon took control of his future. It’s time he showed them all that he will never stop being the nightmare they think he is. And even though that clouded and tainted my perception of the rest of the book, no, it wasn't only that. It was everything. There are so many bad and insulting things about this book that I don't even know where to start. You and your friends can try to scare me. You can try to push me. Because even though I struggle to hide everything I feel when you look at me—and have ever since I was a girl—I think maybe what you seek is so much closer than you’ll ever realize. Lots of the books specifically fit into the genre of romantic suspense. Essentially, this means that elements of mystery and thriller have been added to the plot.

Now that this series is finished i can go dig my grave since i don´t see a purpose in life anymore.😭 No, it’s time I listened to my father and took control of my future. It’s time I showed them all—my family, her family, my friends—that I will never change and that I have no other ambition than to be the nightmare of their lives. From start to finish, Douglas’s long-awaited Devils Night Series finale, Nightfall, pulsates with an underground cult-like heartbeat that lives on the very visceral edge of Magical Realism. Complex battle lines of love and abuse are formed from the start. Here, Douglas shines a light in the darkness, delivering some philosophically significant one-liners and thoughts that ground her characters in the heart of the human experience. There seem to be some readers who have jumped to conclusions about something Pen said online. ***SLIGHT SPOILER AHEAD. For clarification, there is no orgy scene between one woman and a bunch of prisoners. There is a group scene, not group sex, and while it definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone as a reader, the scene is between a few of the couples in the series and completely consensual.*** The hero's in this series are super possessive but how they are okay having orgies, letting their friends see the heroines; naked in front of others? Almost everyone in this group had orgies, got naked together.
