The night is the enemy, and the city of Philadelphia is its deadliest weapon. Becket is an ordinary teenage girl, wrestling with the upheaval of her parents' divorce. A studious high school senior, her biggest problems to date have been choosing which colleges to apply to, living up to her parents' ambitious expectations for her, and fighting her secret crush on her best friend's boyfriend. But that all changes on the night she tries to save an innocent life and everything goes horribly wrong. Unbeknownst to her, Becket has been tricked into opening a door between worlds, allowing a dark magic into the mortal world. As the magic trickles in, the city begins to change at night. Strange creatures roam the streets, and inanimate objects come to life, all of them bloodthirsty and terrifying. The city returns to normal when the sun rises in the morning, and no one can capture the strange changes--such as potholes turning into toothy mouths and wires turning into strangling vines--on film, which prompts the government to declare that the city has been infected with some kind of madness and must be quarantined. Meanwhile, venturing out of one's house at night has become a dangerous proposition, and the moment the sun sets, most of the citizens of the city shut themselves up in their houses and stay there even in the case of dire emergencies. The magic is openly hostile to most mortals, but there are some individuals it seems to covet, trying to lure them out into the night. While Becket struggles to protect her friends and family from predatory creatures of the night, she is constantly tempted to shrug off all her responsibilities and join them. Joining the night world means being free of not just responsibility, but conscience, and it means no longer caring about the fate of others.

It took a while to get into this but it wasn't too bad. I didn't hate it and I'm considering reading the next book. It was my last book for the #LitsyAtoZ challenge so that's cool. I feel somewhat accomplished now. Lol

Gezemice Congratulations! So ahead of me, lol. Two of them are the same in my AtoZ: You Can't Touch my Hair and Underground Railroad. Make that three, Princess Diarist, too! (edited) 7y
EchoLogical @Gezemice The Princess Diarist and Underground Railroad were really good reads. I thought You Can't Touch My Hair was okay but I might have enjoyed the audio book more. 7y
Gezemice @EchoLogical I listened to the audio of You Can't Touch My Hair and I liked it. Orobably would not have enjoyed it as much reading. I liked the other two as well! 7y
Sarahr875 Well done! 7y

Just started this one today. It's both the #1stInSeries and a #Supernatural thriller. It's also the last book of my #LitsyAtoZ list! #LetterN

I know I've used Let's Get Lost before but it's the only book I can think of with a #RoadTrip

EllieDottie Wow! Good job completing #litsyatoz! I still have V, Q, Z and I'm half way through X! All the hard letters 😂 7y
EchoLogical @EllieDottie If I might be so bold, let me suggest Quiet by Susan Cain for the #letterQ. It's such an informative read. 7y
EllieDottie @EchoLogical that is perfect! And it's been on my tbr for a long time so it's about time I got to it!! 7y
