I absolutely loved this book! It was lush and full of gorgeous world building. Rachel does an excellent job of creating characters that seem so real. I can’t wait to see what she writes next!

This had everything! An awesome enemies to lovers story and magic! I love how everything was connected to witches. Tana really struggles with wanting to be an individual and capable of making her own choices or loyalty to her mother and her coven. I loved the island gothic setting and it really feels like the plot and characters were completely fleshed out and real

Thank you Sourcebooks for the earc in exchange for an honest review!

I loved the world building in this story and the witchy politics. I loved that magic wasn’t a secret and could be out in the open. I also really loved that Mother Nature had so much play and power and presence in this story, because that’s where witches and their magic are allegedly based from and sometimes that gets forgotten. Griffin creates a beautiful story web that captures readers in its clutches and refuses to let go until the very end.

Filled with magic, forbidden romance, and hidden truths, Bring Me Your Midnight weaves in powerful themes of female empowerment and environmental preservation. While the love triangle adds swoony moments to the romance, the true heart of the story lies in Tana's personal growth as she wrestles with balancing duty and the life—and love—she truly desires.

Though set in a fantastical world, the story explores relatable themes like living up to expectations, experiencing first love, losing a best friend, and rebuilding broken relationships. This beautifully crafted *romantasy* offers a compelling mix of heartfelt emotion, rich storytelling, and meaningful messages. Perfect for fans of smart, absorbing reads!

This book was such a surprise! I wasn’t sure what to expect at first, but once I got hooked, I couldn’t put it down. Bring Me Your Midnight by Rachel Griffin is a beautifully crafted romantic fantasy exploring forbidden love, duty, and desire—complete with a hint of a love triangle. We follow Tana, whose fate has always been set in stone; she’s destined to marry the governor’s son to secure an alliance between the witches on her island and the mainlanders. The rich world and intriguing magic system were what really drew me in, and the setting felt so immersive and easy to follow. There’s a touch of political intrigue woven in, but it’s approachable and adds depth to Tana’s story. Overall, I really enjoyed this enchanting read and can’t wait to check out more of Griffin’s work! Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

"The most beautiful things are wild."

I actually really enjoyed this. This felt a bit YA, but I didn't mind it. It's about love, sacrifice, friendship, and truth. If I say anything else, I'd give the story away lol

Rachel Griffin will always be an auto buy for me! If you want a really well written witchy book, look to any of hers for sure. So beautifully written, and the characters drew me right in, as always.

I have really enjoyed Rachels other books and this was no different. She has a way of writing that is so captivating and makes you fall in love quickly. Overall, this wasn’t my favorite book from her but it was still really good.

I will always love Rachel Griffin’s worlds and her beautiful words. Every single one of her books is woven in magic, love, decisions, and passion. This will be one of my favorites of hers and was the perfect weekend binge read!

I haven't read a Rachel Griffin book I haven't liked. This one was a little darker then usual but still really enjoyable.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and Net Galley for an ARC of Bring Your Midnight by Rachel Griffin. I have read Griffin's other 2 books and loved them. This book was just as wonderful. I love her writing style and magic systems. The world Tana lives in is beautiful. I felt fully immersed in this story. I enjoyed the slow burn, sweet love story.
I will be purchasing this for our high school library.

This was the perfect book for fall! It was so haunting and atmospheric and had the enemies to lovers trope that I love. It was a great fantasy romance. I really enjoyed it!

Rachel Griffin has done it again. She is a master at relatable characters and magical world building.

I don't know. I was so excited for this one. But everything just felt so SLOW. I did not feel anything for the characters. And although the prose was descriptive I found it really hard to focus while reading. It was a struggle getting through this one.

I'm sorry. I really wanted to like it.

Rachel Griffin’s strongest book yet – if not her strongest romance pairing.

I really enjoyed this read. Wholly immersive, gorgeous imagery, beautiful writing. This feels like Griffin’s strongest – and, somehow, biggest – world yet. I so appreciate how she discusses climate change in a different way with each of her stories, how magic can be both the cause and solution; it’s much needed commentary. The secondary characters felt very fleshed out, I’d say the love interest being the least of which; he’s a perfect specimen with basically no flaws and that just doesn’t sit right, especially considering how flawed, yet redeemable and realistic the main character’s best friend and both parents were. I just wish he had a bit more dimension.

That being said, this is probably tied with Wild is the Witch for my favorite Rachel Griffin novel, this one for the world, WitW for the romance. I will continue to read everything she writes.

Thank you to SOURCEBOOKS Fire | Sourcebooks Fire and NetGalley for an electronic advanced readers copy of this novel.

Tana has always known that her role in life is to bring her coven of unassuming witches into harmony with the normal people on the mainland. Banished to the Witchery Island before she was born, her coven has made a living practicing light innocuous magic, weak spells put into teas and perfumes that don't alarm mortals. Tana is fated to bring the two worlds together by marrying the son of the head of the mainland, and her island will be brought under the mainland's protection.

Torn about her future, she loves swimming the sea. Accidentally distracted, she misses the monthly ritual that the witches use to expel their magic so they aren't so strong. She then runs into Wolfe, a boy who claims to be from a hidden coven who still uses dark/high magic that is supposed to be forbidden. Drawn to this boy yet still held to the obligation to her coven, Tana has a hard decision to make.

Bring Me Your Midnight by Rachel Griffin is an interesting turn on witches. I enjoyed it for the most part. I thought it was well written and had good characterization.

I loved the romance between Tana and Wolfe, they understood each and could be themselves together. The chemistry between them was amazing! I also loved the slow-burn and the sexual tension between the main characters. There were several scenes that made me blush and smile so much. The writing is beautiful and descriptive. I honestly felt like I was living in the world with the characters. I felt so many emotions while reading this book, I cried, I laughed and I smiled. This book will stay in my heart for a long time.

An easy, witchy read with lush, atmospheric writing, good world-building with witch/non-witch politics and a cool magic system, and forbidden romance. While I did enjoy this book on the surface, it did end up being my least favorite Rachel Griffin book so far. The main character Tana fell a bit flat for me and the romance was too much on the insta-love side for my tastes. The plot was intriguing enough to keep me reading, but the romance in general left me wanting.

This book gave all the atmosphere. This was a YouTube ambience room on the page. I was in a trance!

The writing was beautiful and lush- I could feel every ocean tide and breeze. The magic system was very unique, but easy to understand.

Also, the fact that Tana and her mom work at a magical perfumery is too good. I’ve been so obsessed with perfume lately- if I was a witch I would also want to make magic perfume.

Tana is a witch and her life has been pre-planned to serve her coven and the mainland people well. She has never had an issue with any of it and knows this is what is meant to be, until she meets mysterious Wolfe. Her life is turned upside down and everything she thought she knew comes into question. Who can she trust? Is marrying Landon as ordered really what she wants?
