The Nightstruck duology by Jenna Black is a YA horror series set in Philadelphia. When night falls, something begins changing the city. Street decorations become dangerous, iron fences sprout thorns, and people who venture out after dark come back altered, losing their inhibitions and moral compass. Becket, the teenage daughter of a police commissioner, watches her city transform and has to decide how far she’ll go to fight back.

Nightstruck (2016) and Night Magic (2017) blend urban fantasy with genuine horror elements. Black uses Philadelphia’s real geography and landmarks to ground the supernatural transformation, and the books get at the uncomfortable question of how appealing it might be to stop caring about consequences.
