Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for In Nightfall by Suzanne Young. This tour is being hosted by TBR and Beyond Tours.
In the Nightfall by Suzanne Young
Genre: Young Adult Horror Fantasy
Publishing Date: March 28, 2023
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.
Theo and her brother, Marco, threw the biggest party of the year. And got caught. Their punishment? Leave Arizona to spend the summer with their grandmother in the rainy beachside town of Nightfall, Oregon—population 846 souls.
The small town is cute, when it’s not raining, but their grandmother is superstitious and strangely antisocial. Upon their arrival she lays out the one house rule: always be home before dark. But Theo and Marco are determined to make the most of their summer, and on their first day they meet the enigmatic Minnow and her friends. Beautiful and charismatic, the girls have a magnetic pull that Theo and her brother can’t resist.
But Minnow and her friends are far from what they appear.
And that one rule? Theo quickly realizes she should have listened to her grandmother. Because after dark, something emerges in Nightfall. And it doesn’t plan to let her leave.

This was a lot of fun to read. I love a good vampire story. I definitely got The Lost Boys vibes from it.
Theo and Marco are going with their dad to stay with their grandmother in Oregon for a month. They’ve never met her and think it’s weird that their dad wanted to visit all of a sudden. But their parents just got divorced and they hope it will be good for him. The town of Nightfall is very small and it’s almost always cloudy. That’s tough for Theo who loves her Phoenix sun. Their grandmother (Nonna) is really odd. She wants them home before dark and is very strict about that rule. Theo finds a little stick and herb doll in her stuff. It’s all weird. Theo and Marco meet a lot of local teens right away. Minnow seems to like Marco a lot and Theo finds a friend/possible boyfriend in Parrish. Weird things start happening and Theo can’t explain it. She meets some horror podcasters and they tell her a terrifying story about their town history. She doesn’t believe it, but then she finds a body. Marco is sick a lot and acting weird. Things just aren’t right. Theo needs to find a way to stop the things that have been happening in Nightfall before she loses her family.
I gave this book 4 1/2 stars.
