Blog Tour Review – When The Night Falls by Glenn Rolfe

Welcome back to Dark Reads, today is my stop in the Random Things Tour for When The Night Falls by Glenn Rolfe. Many thanks to Anne for inviting me to take part and to Flame Tree Press for sending me an ARC of the book!

Synopsis

It’s been ten years since the events of Until Summer Comes Around. Lucky to be alive, Rocky roams his beachside hometown, waiting for life to start again.

November Riley has never been far from the boy that stole her heart. She watches from the shadows, knowing she can never make things right between them, but just hoping they could try one
more time…

A new documentary is bringing Gabriel Riley, the Beach Night Killer, back to national consciousness.

The dead serial killer has a trio of new fans that are ready to make Old Beach their home for the end of the summer season. When the new strangers in town discover Rocky’s relationship to the past of one of their own, he becomes their number one target. Can November protect him, or will these other vampires prove too strong?

When the night falls, blood will spill, and death will reign.

My Review

Wow, what a great read this was! When I started this book I didn’t realise it was a sequel to Until Summer Comes Around but I think it read brilliantly as a stand alone story. There was enough of the backstory throughout for me to feel up to speed with the plot. I will absolutely be retrospectively reading the first book now though.

The character development was so good in this book, there were multiple POV’s and each character was distinct and interesting. It read like a Stephen King story *chefs kiss*

This book made me feel so nostalgic, it’s set in the 90’s and it felt like the 90’s. I love all of the nods to the era and the many awesome music references.

When The Night Falls is a vampire story with a difference and an absolute page turner. It’s dark, gory and brilliantly written.

Highly recommended from me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
