bookshelves: novella

not me mentally preparing myself for another steam room, catacomb, train orgy/threesome scene 😭 i remember EVERYTHING and i honestly just wanted to obliviate those scenes from my head.

but did i need to worry? nope.
it's okay guys, i can confirm we're all safe.



this was a cute novella of the Devil's Night people (im sorry i forgot what their group is called) hanging out with their kids during winter solstice aka Fire Night aka PG wholesome version of Devil's Night, doing rich people stuff with all the ballroom dancing, some kidnapping here and there, and treasure hunting and shiii.

anyways, don't know what to say so enjoy my thoughts while reading this book so SPOILERS AHEAD

🕯 chapter 1: KAI MORI 🕯
� Madden is my spirit animal, reading instead of socializing? yessir.
� Kai loves the winter? has he slipped under the bus because of stupid snow in front of his crush and then had to hide from said crush because as a 13-year-old, that's mortifying? i don't think so.
� but can i live in a rich neighborhood too so we can do this rich people shit where we light up the whole town with candles, lanterns, and bonfires, and go to a ballroom party wearing gowns and masks PLEASE?
� my inner dark academia and light academia loving self is QUAKING
"I'll slit your throat, you dog" of course Damon's spawn would say something like that
� Kai vs. Damon. Daddy vs. ZADDY. love it
� with all this cute family stuff going on, i can't help but think like Michael Scott:



chapter 2: Damon Torrance
� THEY'RE IN THEIR 30s?! im sorry i can't picture that.
� but why was i shipping Octavia (Damons 5 year old daughter) and Mads (Banks' 11 year old son) forgetting that they're cousins 💀
� daddy issues? nahh more like mommy issues
� why am i crying about Damon realizing he wants a mother to lean on oh my god.
� you're telling me, Damon's chapter out of all this is the most wholesome? MR. DAMON TORRANCE??
� aww Damon's not your regular daddy, he's your cool daddy.

☠︎ chapter 3: Will Grayson ☠︎
� oh. Alex and Aydin aren't here? oh. hmmm. what to do with that information.
� OH SHIT. dead man.
� Mads and Octavia nooo.
� im sorry i can't think of anything right now this scene is intense.
� so this is what Tyler Dinescu's been doing this whole time huh.
� EWWWWW his eyeball fell out of his eyesocket?!
� ummmm is Kai bout to go all the Mountain to Tyler's Oberyn Martell?!

chapter 4: Michael Crist
� omfg SIR PLEASE LEAVE YOUR WIFE AND JUST FUCKING GO AND SAVE THE CHILDREN YOU'RE WASTING TIME.
GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME EMO TROY BOLTON !!
� Michael really said y'all would have to wait to save your children because i gotta get my pregnant wife from the car first, the kidnapped children with a man that's trying to kill them can wait 🤦🏻‍♀�
� um. i think Kai's son is a psychopath.
Octavia and Mads are cousins. Octavia and Mads are cousins. Octavia and Mads are cousins.
________________________________

is Kai's son okay? does he need a hug? therapy session perhaps?

but yeah im pretty sure there'll be a spinoff series about their children because the epilogue is about Mads who may or may not be a psychopath because umm he just killed, like, 3 men in one night and he's only 11 years old so um.

am i excited for the upcoming series that may or may not be happening? actually yes i am because of Octavia and Mads (i don't want them together tho theyre fucking COUSINS). im sorry but i really do have a thing for psychopaths oh well.

so anyways, i can't wait to read Falls Boys and Tryst Six Venom because ummmm they all sound so angsty so my mind, body, and soul are ready to procrastinate and ignore everyone �

❤️Court - Villains Do It Better❤️ The "devils night people"😂😂😂

mel ☽ Phuong � ~ thank youuu �


mel ☽ Bookadmirer ~ that is SO awkward tho omg plus damon's daughter is still 5 so ummmm im uncomfy lol


mel ☽ sandra ~ thanks girll <33


mel ☽ Court ~ i forgot their group names 😭😭 at least that's better than calling them "rich white boys" idk hahaha


B(ea) trust me i suspected Mads had a thing for Octavia back in Nightfall’s epilogue bc he wouldn’t stop observing her and i was like ‘aiiiight 👀� BUT THEN my friend reminded me that they were cousins and my mind immediately went 😦🤯🤢😷


mel ☽ alluring B - ahhh im so weirded out like nooo pls no more incest shit PLEASE im still traumatized from Credence 😭😭


sleepyreads Omg I haven’t read this book but please don’t tell me there is actually incest in this book I don’t think I can pick up another pd book with all the incest and orgies in her books 😭🤚


farwa✩ (hiatus; exams) loove your review!! Also,yes mads and octavia are cousins,pls when they grow up NO INCEST PLEASE(or i’m literally out of here periodttt).Imo tho,I think what mads and octavia have is a deep bond,similar to what damon and banks had.Damon had this weird over protectiveness over banks too remember?I think it’s like that,AT LEAST I FUCKING HOPE SO!!


GimmeAllTheWerdssss Great review! I applaud you for finishing out this series. I tried the first one but had to walk away from this author. I feel she's trying to hard to be a Ker Dukey or DH Sidebottom and she's just....not.


EmBibliophile I love this review!! Also I couldn’t agree more with it! Omg that scene with Michael and Rika got me rolling my eyes so hard, like what the hell are you doing go get the kids and leave the pregnant girl alone!! I was facepalming myself because i just couldn’t deal with his stupidity! Also, Is there’s a possibility that on a parallel universe Mad and Octavia won’t be cousins?? Great review, Mel!! xx


mel ☽ Castle ~ girl i can't tell you anything cuz idk either 😭 i feel so uncomfy bc im 99.9% sure there will be incest i-


mel ☽ ✨fɲ� ~ right?? but ahhh im pretty sure there will be cuz i just saw pd's ig story where she was like torrance/mori bloodline 😭😅 ok but yes i hope their bond is more like damon and banks' because ummm. imagine thanksgiving dinner between the two family lmao


mel ☽ GimmeAllTheWerdssss ~ ahh thank you!! girl the first one was the worst for me lol i should've stopped there but im curious afff. i've never read anything by Ker Dukey or DH Sidebottom hmmm maybe i'll check them out

mel ☽ Em ~ thank youuu <33 RIGHT? when michael was like, y'all would have to wait for your children imma need to get my wife from the car first i was like 🤦🏻‍♀� BRO- there are children freezing out there with a man trying to kill them ur pregnant wife can miss ONE rescue mission sheesh. girl i have a theory that Mads was switched at birth and they got the wrong baby hahahaha


bookworm Loved your review and glad to know it wasn’t only me shipping Tavi and Mads 😬
I cried at the scene with Damon’s mom too🥺 even in a novella, his chapter will always win!


mel ☽ Alaa ~ thank you! oh no i don't ship them hahahaha i find it too weird but i would like to see them grow closer ~platonically~ and yess Damon's chapter really made me cry

Because Butterflies After reading Nightfall, I was really not looking forward to more of those “sex scenes -wtf is happening � between these people 😳😳😳, that spoiled it for me and Kill Switch will be my favorite story. Glad to hear is safe to read! Thanks @mel !


Zahra ♡ Mel im so glad i wasnt the only one shipping them. Then realisation hit and i was like B R U H nahh! And damon🥺🥺

dude same!! thats why when i found out that aydin and alex weren't gonna be here i was like phew we are SAFE. kill switch is my favorite too and i just pretend that semi threesome scene never happened at the end lmaoo. thank you!! :))


mel ☽ Zahra wrote: "Mel im so glad i wasnt the only one shipping them. Then realisation hit and i was like B R U H nahh! And damon🥺🥺"

i felt SO dumb when i realized that they were cousins lmaooo. im still uncomfortable with their "relationship" tho like, i just can't handle it but knowing PD, she'll probably make them endgame lol and yess damon and his mom 🥺🥺


Daymivethe I was shipping Octavia and Mads too WTF!!! I forget they're cousins for a moment.

Arsinoe everyone shipping a fucking FIVE YEAR OLD GIRL WITH HER OLDER COUSIN LIKE WTF 😭😭😭😭

Emo Troy Bolton 😭


message 44: by Bex (new)

Bex Brindley I cannot unsee Michael as an emo Troy Bolton now 😂😂 the best line I've ever read in a review haha


message 45: by Med (new) - rated it 2 stars

Med God I thought I was the only person who for a few seconds forgot Mads and Octavia were cousins. The author really messed that part since readers can forget that they are cousins (cause of the messy family tree)


Saffron Book archive Omg this review is iconic


message 47: by AV (new) - rated it 3 stars

AV Even though they kept mentioning that madden and Octavia are cousins I was still thinking the vibes were off! PD please no incest, we’re begging 🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀�


Chloe_papa_ I loved this review so much even tho i read the whole series 😂....i also don't want Miss Penelope having mads and Octavia together like i don't want that😭


message 49: by Nina (new) - rated it 5 stars

Nina To be fair tho, he couldn't leave Erika alone in the car until the police and ambulance took God knows how long to get her to make her company... What if something happened to her? Lol


message 50: by í (new) - rated it 4 stars

í ok but let's be honest- out of everything in the devils night series, shipping madden and octavia is probably the most normal reaction we can have to this series. it was like penelope MEANT for us to ship them together. i'm happy to know im not the only one that was shipping them😭 and i mean- they're HALF cousins😭 as if that makes any difference😭
