2.0

The premise was a very interesting one. I love a murder mystery sort of book but I found a few things a bit jarring. I found the fact that there was lots of interjections from the crime that was presented at the start of the book throughout. This meant the end was supremely obvious because you knew what was going to happen, it was just a case of who. I felt the book could have been half the length it was because a lot of it was repetition of the same plot points again and again e.g. Tess wanting Sylvie to talk to Linda. Tess and Sylvie’s friendship wasn’t particularly believable, they just seemed highly incompatible. I didn’t feel I knew the characters well enough. There was also so much of the book based around alcohol, which was a bit boring and repetitive.

dark mysterious tense

4.0

This was a very good and twisty thriller which kept me guessing the whole time! First of all the start of the story is absolutely amazing and very dark! The story follows Sylvie and her relationship to her long-time friend Tess. There are moments in the past and presence. Besides this storyline we also get to see the main character work at court again. By now you should know that I very much enjoyed the legal aspect of the first two books by the author and it was no difference with It Ends At Midnight. It was a very enjoyable and quick read for me but I wasn't as invested as I was in the first two books by Tyce. I even was a little scared of the progress of the story but luckily everything worked out later in the story. I can actually see myself rereading this book at some point because of the way it was written and I think I would enjoy it a little bit more the second time around.
