The book Chosen at Nightfall was written by Christie Craig, also known as C. C. Hunter, and is a teen fiction novel. It is the third book in the series of Shadow Falls. The last book left off with a new character named Ellie. She was a vampire that needed guidance and gave her life to save another campmate. Even though she died, Ellie still helped guide Kylie to Derek so that she could save him too. That was how they found Mario before he could hurt any more campers. He escaped, though, and the hunt for him continues through this book. The main characters are Kylie Galen, Della Tsang, Burnett James, Lucas Parker, Fredericka Lakota, Miranda Cane, Holiday Branden, Perry Gomez, and Derek Lakes. They are apart of different groups (species) known as witches, fairies, vampires, werewolves, and chameleons. Everyone from the book knows exactly who they are. Kylie was the only one who had no clue until the last book. She finally found out that she is a chameleon and was forced to move in with her grandparents. They are trying to protect her from an evil chameleon (Mario) that is looking for her and others like her. Mario has been chasing her down, trying to kill her off, so he stays the most powerful of their kind. He has been doing anything he can to try and capture or kill her. When his original plans start to fail, he finds Kylie’s mom and starts to date her. Kylie had no clue who this guy was until recently. She can’t break her mom’s heart because she is finally happy, but the bad feeling in her stomach might have a deeper meaning. All she knows is that he is bad news. It’s even worse whenever Holiday starts to have some weird issues that indicate pregnancy, but she insists that she isn’t. What will happen with Kylie’s mom? Will Kylie leave her grandparents? Will she still be in a love triangle or does she finally find the one for her? On top of that, will Holiday finally admit that she is pregnant?
“When Kylie Galen entered Shadow Falls Camp, she left her old life behind forever and discovered a world more magical than she ever imagined. A place where your two best friends can be a Witch and a Vampire...and where love doesn't happen the way you'd expect.”
“When Kylie's most powerful enemy returns to destroy her once and for all, there's only one way to stop him--to step into her full powers and make a stunning transformation that will amaze everyone around her. But her journey won't be complete until she makes one final choice: which guy to love. Should she cho[o]se the Werewolf that broke her heart but will give anything to win her back, or the Half-Fae who ran from their attraction before they had a chance? Everything she's learned at Shadow Falls has been preparing her for this moment--when her fate will be revealed and her heart claimed forever.”
Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book. It finally reveals the truth about who Kylie really is and adds some interesting twists along the way. Plus, I was excited to see how the series would end, and I never wanted to put the book down. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves a good mystery, fantasy, and a love story all mashed into one series. The more you read it, the more you enjoy it. It is an amazing book to read in your free time or anytime. I read this book in about three days. The book was very interesting and definitely gets 5 ⭐ out of 5 ⭐.
