Chosen at Nightfall: Shadow Falls, Book 5 (Unabridged)
But sometimes you can't separate your personal life from your professional, especially when you're a vampire. And cults are cool to read about anyway. It would have been fascinating if the cult-like chameleon life was explored more. It's a shame, Kylie went back to the dull-uninspired-cliched Shadow Falls. Oh and she was also a Speshul Snowflake. She was already a Speshul Snowflake of the highest order. So why make her into an even more of Speshul Snowflake?! Maybe CC Hunter wrote it that way to try to cover up how boring and shit her heroine was.
Well, it didn't work on me - Kylie was still as fascinating as a plank of wood sitting on top of another plank of wood. He cheated on Kylie once and I have no doubt that when he weds Kylie and impregnates her at eighteen, he'll be fucking some other girl. And then get engaged with a different werewolf girl Monique?
by C. C. Hunter
And then have make out sessions with Monique? And then pledge his soul and undying love to Monique? Because he's a liar and a cheater. And he'll carry on lying and cheating. Don't worry, Kylie has no self-respect so she'll be a-okay with him treating her like shit, she's the type of person that likes being used and abused. He'd never have told Kylie, instead he would have just pretended everything was alright between them. Hypocrite, thy name is Lucas. He grabbed Kylie's arms so hard that he left bruises. Don't you just love it when the hero bruises the heroine because he's mad?
Yep, I know… you're trying not swoon, right? If Lucas was a nice guy he wouldn't have cheated, lied and betrayed the girl he supposedly loved. It was like the author couldn't be bothered having Kylie work things out on her own… Instead she had to have everyone push her, and force her into reconciling with that cheating rapey dirtbag. He only recently got engaged to Monique behind her back and 2. If he could pretend to be in love with Monique, then he could do the same to Kylie. One minute he was in love with Kylie and the next he was over her after one not-so-profound-or-enlightening conversation, and then he moved onto Jenny.
It just made Derek seem fickle and it made his love seem shallow, transient and easily replaceable. The hugging and the whole telling Kylie that they loved her — what sort of teachers are like that with their students? And even Kylie was talking about her love for her teachers. It was weird, it wasn't like they were related to each her or that they'd known each other a long time.
I don't get why were they so close to one other. It was nauseating - I don't want to read the author's thoughts on sex and how she thinks that girls should stay virgins as long as possible… And that only girls who are virgins are 'good'. When Derek slept with Ellie, he wasn't even with Kylie! But of course CC Hunter rewrote that in this book in the hope that we'd forget that Derek and Kyle were actually broken up… Why? So CC Hunter could make it seem that what Lucas did to Kylie wasn't actually that big of a deal, especially in comparison to what Derek supposedly did to Kylie.
Well, it didn't work on me. Lucas was the only one that cheated. Why did the Death Angels act so mysterious and all knowing? They were clueless and useless. All in all, rubbish. I'm so glad the series is over, I doubt I'll be reading Della's spin-off series. View all 59 comments. Oct 24, Jayda Rose marked it as to-read Shelves: I know what he did was wrong but think about it He did everything just to be with her!
He loves her with all his heart i can tell by the way she explains him and i'm pretty sure that he would want Kylie to be his only love his only passion his only I hope to read! If i was Kylie i would think before i choose Derek a fae who loves her but backed down and expects her to love him back or Lucas a werewolf determined to love her to care for her like Derek but better what they had was unforgettable their love was true ya Derek could be better but i doubt it Lucas was a right choice View all 5 comments.
Aug 23, Sandra rated it liked it Shelves: This is pretty much how i looked after finishing Chosen at Nightfall l Every other book in the series has been brilliantly magnificent and quickly became my favorite. I'm pretty much shocked to the bones that i didn't love this one, especially because it's the last book in the series. Shadow Falls and C. If you don't know what this series is about it follows a 17 year old girl, called Kylie Galen.
She is shipped to a supernatural camp, but nobody knows what she is we find out a This is pretty much how i looked after finishing Chosen at Nightfall l Every other book in the series has been brilliantly magnificent and quickly became my favorite. She is shipped to a supernatural camp, but nobody knows what she is we find out at the end of book 3. In this book, her story continues.
She has to control and learn her powers so she can defeat her ultimate enemy before someone she loves will die. Let's get something out there before i'll rant about my disappointment. Nothing can ever take it's place. I have been in love with this series since the very beginning, and i don't think that will change. In fact, i am kind of obsessed with it. I'm even stalking the authors blog. It't getting rather scary. That's probably why i can't make myself give it a lower rating like it deserves.
Sandra, why are you so disappointed? Because it didn't turn out the way i would like it too, and let's just say that i want to claw some of the characters eyes out. Is that a bad thing? Oh dear, I'm afraid so. Why won't you tell me now what happened to get you into the condition you are currently in?
A question where unfortunately there are more answers than there should be. First, meet the 3 main characters: It's a love triangle! And one of the reasons why this book was just 'ehhhh' for me. The love triangle had been amazing in the previous books. But in this one? I mean, i guess it depends on who's team you're on. What i thought of Lucas werewolf?: I hate him so much! I can't believe that Kylie still has feelings for him after what he has done in book 4. I would have kicked his sorry ass so freaking hard and fast he would fly to freaking China and back in record time.
Can't he, like, fall off a cliff already? What i thought of Derek half-fae?: He's nice, kind, smart, helpful, understanding, HOT , and just perfect for me. If i could shove my head in his ass and live there, i would. What i wouldn't do to see him naked! What i thought about Kylie?: I loved her in the previous books! Sometimes she was just so stupid and annoying! All she really thought about was that darn idiotic Lucas!
The book was also very predictable at times. But there were some nice twists that i didn't see coming. There are no stupid metaphors that don't even make sense, and no hard vocabulary words that you have to get a dictionary for in order to know the meaning of when the characters are speaking e. First i was like Then i was like Then it all sunk in and i was like Kylie you chose the wrong guy!
And the author is all like Not only that! But the guy who was left behind? She decided to ship him off with some other chick, thinking that his fans would be 'OK' with it. And all the flaws that the guy had? Well, they magically just disappeared. It was obvious C. What i really loved though, was the beautiful friendship the characters had with each other.

They are all, like, one big supernatural family that always looks after each other, and it's so heart warming! Overall , Chosen at Nightfall was a good read. It was nothing compared to the previous books, but it was still pretty good. If not for the stupid romance and Kylie choosing the wrong guy in my opinion it would have been SO much better! Look out for Della's books! She's having her own series! The 1st one comes out in !!! I know I am! View all 27 comments. Nov 18, Laura rated it really liked it.
I can however say that even though I predicted it, I still enjoyed it. I have a few issues with it- but seeing as the series is over I'll just put them to rest too. I really don't understand how people can pick Lucas. No matter how you dress it up he still cheated- whether or not it was for 'the greater good' of his pack, he still cheated, lied and had the cheek to be so possessive whilst this was all going on! They've always- to me- had more of a physical connection just. I think they have more of a soul mate connection. I'd really hate to see the good guy not get the girl in the end I hope I'm wrong View all 8 comments.
Dec 02, Twizzie rated it liked it. I wont eat my veggies until I do! Carrots will be crying. There will be hell to pay if I have to wait any longer. I'll even do it myself! I'm sorry if I offend you: Oct 27, Marija rated it it was amazing Shelves: GAh why can't this book come out sooner?!
Agh I'm soo annoyed C Hunter posted some clues about whats going to happen on her blog i think a while ago but i didn't check and now i have even less patience I can't wait for this book anymore! Why does it have to come out in spring? Omg the cover is beautiful. Why is the cover a picture of the day when the book is "Chosen at Nightfall"?
Still, I can't wait! I hope that this is the last book though, I can't take any more, no matter how good the series is. Lucas isn't that bad, I just think he's been kind of a jerk.

Also completely agree with what I said first time around reading because this isn't the best series I've ever read but it's just pure entertainment to read! July 24 Awesome book for it being the last book in the series.
Sad to see this series end I mean it wasn't the most perfect series but I loved it and it was just so entertaining definitely rec May 18 I have to say reading this second time around I do agree that the last book is my favorite in the series, I would give it a 4. Sad to see this series end I mean it wasn't the most perfect series but I loved it and it was just so entertaining definitely recommend if your looking for something entertaining, with some romance, and hilarious bits!!!
Oct 23, Christie Watts rated it it was amazing. OMG I am so flipping mad a Lucas right now!!! I just finished book 4 and I loved it of course. But now it's gonna drive me crazy til this books comes out.. I really hope she chooses Lucas I know what he did is wrong and I really like Derrek but the passionate Love that Lucas has for her has me won over. Anyway can't wait for chosen at nightfall to come out so we can see who she chooses Apr 24, Britta rated it did not like it. I thought this book was by far the weakest book in the series.
Kylie had developed into a whiny self-obsessed pansy who spent most of the book too afraid to face her own problems. Sorry to any Lucas fans but I thought she made a poor decision and the ending was forced. Lucas was an over-controlling, possessive and jealous a the entire time and she glorified him and refused to see any flaws in him. I think it would be different if their relationship was based on more than just a schoolyard crus I thought this book was by far the weakest book in the series. I think it would be different if their relationship was based on more than just a schoolyard crush but it wasn't.
He loves her because she is an obedient goody-two-shoes pansy and she loves him because he's They made this couple out to be this great love and it was horrible because the characters were not likable and had really nothing in common. I really wished they would show what happens when all they have in common is their vanity and the ability to say "I love you" with a straight face. So back to the ending, Lucas gets on Council as I predicted early on and I also dislike how there are no consequences for anything.
Kylie kills a man brutally and Lucas is her accomplice but it's okay because he was evil.

I just hated the book for glorifying weak and crappy characters and chalking everything up to some sort of fate or destiny. People make their own choices and not everything is so binary but this book made it seem like it is and it drove me crazy in the second book too. I vote two enthusiastic thumbs down for poor writing so many typos and "yups" , poor character development and overall cheesy and overrated plot.
Spoilers may be concerned; I'll really try to avoid them. I fell that I read this book just to finish this series. First two books were amazing. I loved them, but since then it was worst and worst. I don't actually know what to say about this book, it was quite about nothing, and since the beginning, I knew that it was going to finish with happily ever after. And finishing the whole Mario thing was so unbelievable fake! I never liked Derek and nothing change. I still love Lucas, so I Spoilers may be concerned; I'll really try to avoid them.
I still love Lucas, so I wish there were more Lulie moments! I'm so happy that this is the last book and if there is any other from Shadow Fall world, I'm not going to read it. Anyway, I will still dream about my sweet, lovely, hot Lucas Dec 24, Annabel Blizzard rated it it was amazing Shelves: Lucas isn't and I find him a more interesting character. View all 4 comments.
