88. Nightfall - Jake Halpern

So, I started this review early (you'll read the whole thing when I'm done the book) but I've read only 52 pages and I have some feelings about it already.

Listen, it is March and it has taken me two weeks to read 52 pages. This book has an air of full creep factor that I was not prepared for. I had put this book up for a spooky September-October read last year but after finishing Nevernight I decided I wanted something creepy because Nevernight was a little creepy, but this is a whole different level of creep.

Seriously, not even 'Bad Girls Don't Die' or 'Hocus Pocus' or 'There's Someone Inside My House' was this weird. I'm getting into the habit of reading before bed and I thought that picking up this book before bed was the reason it seemed so creepy but I read it in the middle of the day on a train full of people and had the same feeling of full creep factor so it wasn't that problem.

There's just something freaking scary about it and I can't figure it out.

Okay, now that I'm done:

Still creepy like no one's business. I had to read this book during the middle of the day while I was at home with the sun still up. I couldn't read it on the train or at school because horror in public is a terrible idea for me.

On top of that, I have many unanswered questions. What happens when they make it to the desert lands? What happens when they have to return to Bliss? Please tell me these things. I need answers.

Anyway, if you want to get freaked out for a couple of days while you read this (or weeks because I honestly needed the perfect setting to sit down and read this) then you should read this book.



If you'd like me to read/ review a book, just leave a comment below! I'll try not to give too many spoilers or give too much away while reviewing the books, but if I do, also let me know so I can give warnings to anyone who hasn't read the books before. I appreciate all feedback, but please be respectful on constructive criticism.

Everyone's opinions are valuable so please don't make anyone feel terrible for having their own opinion on a book. Just because it's different from yours does not mean it's the wrong opinion.
