I don't even need to read it to know it'll be five beautiful, sparkly stars. -- I was right!

Absolute perfection. 1000 shimmering stars. I loved every page.

No one writes witches like Rachel Griffin and she's really outdone herself with this one!
Bring Me Your Midnight is a beautifully romantic YA fantasy. Tana's story will touch your heart and you will feel all the feelings. She's such a vulnerable character, you can't help but connect with her. The relationships with her best friend, Ivy, her parents, her coven, her betrothed, Landon, and of course, Wolfe, really come to life on the page. I felt like I was living Tana's journey as I read this wonderfully magical story.
I simply didn't want it to end.

This book is the perfect blend of romance, magic, family expectations, mystery, and cozy fantasy vibes.
I would love to spend a week lost on the Witchery.

"If flowers and herbs, trees and fields, oceans and mountains aren't magic, I don't know what is."*
"I want to be myself in a space that feels like it wasn't meant for me."*

This story has easily taken up space in my heart for all time now.

Just go read it :)



HUGE thank you to Sourcebooks Fire for fueling my growing love of Rachel Griffin novels with this ARC.

I did enjoy this better than the other book I read by this author, but I just think in general her storytelling isn't really for me. There are some beautiful passages and quotes, but I think the underlying plot wasn't anything super special or unique. I also am really not an insta-love person.

Wished I liked it better. There were lovely moments of descriptions for magic, the ocean, the water, but the characters themselves were far too flat. I was not invested. The insta love romance didn’t work for me either.
