Overall, this was just okay... but that last chapter was WHOOOAAA! If you liked All the Sinners Bleed, you will probably like this book, too. Personally, I really hate books with religion as a central theme. I'm not sure why I keep trying to read them. 😅
Ruth and Ever became friends on a dark night in the swamp. The reader discovers early on that Ruth killed someone (albeit in self defense) and Ever helped her hide the body. Six years later, she's dating a cop. Okay, girl! Ruth and Ever's system of checks and balances is a little screwed up. Do two wrongs make a right?
I was not very in love with this book. At times, I felt I was reading it to read it. I really enjoyed the relationship between these two individuals, however. Those who appreciate town politics and religious opinions will like it more.

<b> Midnight is the Darkest Hour </b> is a twisted, unhinged beast
If you enjoy occultism, heavy religious themes and being VERY mad in thrillers, then this is the book for you!!Â
Woven with dark themes of greed, power and oppression, this book tickled me in just the right way 😈👿
THANK YOU NetGally and Aria & Aries for providing an ARC of this book Â
