Shattered Midnight by Dhonielle Clayton
5.0
This novel, along with the first book, have always awakened a sense of nostalgia in me. I don't know what it is, but the stories, and this one in particular, are full of equal measure fantastical elements and pertinent social commentary. In this story we follow a bi-racial girl, Zora, and her time in New Orleans as a singer at a speakeasy. Her magic comes from her music, and she is described as a "song bird" throughout the story. In walks the male lead, a white man, and their romance is fast and hot and controversial for the time.
I LOVED the atmosphere of the book and how it connects to the first book. The concept of a generational series still amazes me. I loved how characters and magical objects were intertwined from both novels and I can't wait to see how they do it in the next book because THAT ENDING was not okay....the cliffhanger almost killed me.
