I love every single thing Rachel Griffin writes. Her writing style is so atmospheric—it makes me feel present in the story like I can feel the ocean breeze on my face and taste its salt. I can feel the depth of Tana's love for her people and also her forbidden love. Rachel Griffin's writing immerses me and makes me never want to leave.
Bring Me Your Midnight is wholly unique, yet has many elements that readers love: secretive island, witch magic, loyal friendship, arranged marriage, and forbidden love. Tana's story explores themes of duty and responsibility versus truth and want as well as the importance of caring for the ocean and its creatures. There's so many layers to this book told in a compelling plot of uncovering secrets and true love.
Tana and Wolfe have my whole heart. Watching their love story unfold was an absolute pleasure, and there were soooo many swoony one-liners and kisses throughout. It was tense and passionate and beautiful.
I could keep going on and on about all the wonderful things about this book, but I think I'll beg you to discover them for yourself. Bring Me Your Midnight was the perfect book for me, and I'd highly recommend to all readers who love witches, magic, and romance!
