Midnight Strikes by Zeba Shahnaz
Did not finish book.
3.0
She has to find a prince by the stroke of midnight or the magic will end. And when the magic ends, the prince and the entire kingdom will die.
Groundhog Day meets Cinderella - the book may not be as original as that idea sounds, but it’s a fun read.
Seventeen year old country bumpkin Anaïs has come to the capital to find an aristocratic husband. The anniversary ball is the culmination of the season and Anaïs’s last chance at finding love. There’s only one problem: someone is intent on blowing up her chances.
Literally. There are bombs in the castle, and they go off at midnight.
This book makes some attempts at world building and political intrigue, but it’s almost entirely plot driven. The plot moves quickly. It’s a fun read.
There’s little to nothing in the way of character development, which wouldn’t have bothered me much if the book were shorter, but it’s a bit too long to have little sense of our main character’s development.
