The Midnight Witch (2014) - Plot & Excerpts

I wanted to read this as I’ve had Brackston’s previous novels as audiobooks. I quite enjoyed The Witch’s Daughter, but was less enamoured by The Winter Witch. However, when I’m in the mood I like my witchcraft/ magical themed stories and so wanted to give the author another go.Lady Lilith becomes Head Witch of the Lazarus Covern on the death of her father. Not only is she stunningly beautiful, rich and engaged to an equally gorgeous and talented son of an earl, she’s a powerful neocromancer. Romantic affairs and sinister witchy complications affect her otherwise perfect life.Sadly, this one didn’t work for me. I didn’t like or care for any of the characters, Lilith in particular was just irritating. The whole point of her covern is the big secret she has protect at all cost and then she tells the rather random guy that she suddenly decides she loves. I struggled to finish the book, but I did felt I had to give it a chance to grown on me, unfortunately it didn’t. Not a lot actually happens, the whole magical aspect was unimpressive and by the end I didn’t really care.Sorry, just not for me. Although I did like the cover!Thanks to the publishers and netaglley for the chance to try it. The dialogue is difficult and not authentic to the time period. The author bounces back and forth on the tenses. The power and abilities of Lilith and her counterparts are weak during challenges with their foes, thus stretching out the story way to long. Nothing surprising happens with the story line between Bram and Lilith. (? spoilers) I was hopeful that Louis and Charlotte would find love. Lilith and her father would have reconciled and he was helpful in over powering the evil sorcerers.

I was really looking forward to her next book. I loved her first two. Disappointed read.
