Also one person is cured by depression and suicidal ideation by a mild exorcism in the last few pages, which came quite out of the blue.
1 star added for some likeable side characters
1 star added for the background pining of the couple from the sequel

Cam, with all his suave confidence, felt like the perfect match for an over-whelmed yet never faltering Amelia. It was easy to envision these two falling in love, and captivating to read. I didn't mind the additional paranormal aspects in this book, and enjoyed the setup for the other characters' romances.
My main gripe for this story was how unrealistic it was for Amelia and Cam to continuously be together whilst she refused to marry him, with only one character reproaching them. I never had a problem with any of the Wallflower books in this sense, which is why it's such a gripe for me. However, I will add that the writing for those scenes was much better in this book.

Especially Cam, whose personality seemed to have been completely altered from his first introduction.

The Hathaway family is just a mess. It felt a bit over the top to me. One sibling is a kleptomaniac, another self-destructive and suicidal, another struggling with chronic illness. It was just a bit much for me.
I found Amelia herself to be annoying. I still don't understand her reluctance to marry Cam. It didn't make sense to me.
I'm not comfortable with the racism in the book either. It just felt off. Devil in Winter didn't have the same feel.

In a genre that continues to uplift mediocre (and even abusive) men, it really is a treat to read about a male character that is genuinely a good person, goes above and beyond for their love, and sounds so hot like he’s godly handsome. That’s Cam Rohan. I deem him one of the best romantic heroes ever written.
Other pros to this is includes: my other true love Miss Beatrix Hathaway, exceptional writing with lots of historical details, settings that are characters, a fantastic family dynamic that would make the Bridgertons weep, and a romance where the pair fits together so perfectly.
Mine Till Midnight is a near perfect historical romance by a masterful writer. I can’t wait to read more in this series!
