I am simply in love with Rachel Griffin’s writing. It’s that simple. While this book wasn’t my favorite of hers, it had everything that I love from the worlds that she builds. Her stories have such a strong connection to the earth; they are the epitome of cozy cottage-core witch vibes. I loved the change of scenery in this book - her last was very forest-focused, and this is very summer and ocean oriented.

I think what I wanted from this book was a bigger conclusion - while Tana and Wolfe help their island make some progress, I wanted something more satisfying. I can appreciate that the ending was a more practical step forward, I was hoping Tana would completely shake up the entire island’s belief system.

Overall though this was a great book to sit down with on a warm summer evening.

Tana lives on a beautiful island with her friends, family, and witch coven. Her fate has been decided for her since before she was born. In order to keep the island of witches safe, Tana must marry Landon, who is the governor's son. Contrarily, Tana finds herself stunned by the shooting star that is her newfound love, Wolfe who came into her galaxy. Magical, mystical and entrancing love she has for Wolfe is where her heart lies, even though she is planning to marry Landon.

I’m obsessed with the witch world Rachel Griffin has created with her previous books, and this one is no different. Bound by her duty to bring peace and safety between low tide witches and “normal” people, Mortana “Tana” Fairchild is sent to marry the mainland governor’s son, until she literally runs into Wolfe Hawthorne, a practitioner of forbidden high tide magic.

It’s painful to watch Tana try to keep all aspects of her life happy and harmonious at the expense of her own, and at the same time wish the witches didn’t have to sacrifice their way of life due to fear of death at the hand of a group of people who don’t understand them.

Perfect to get into the fall spooky season, this story weaves its own witchy lore with a comfortable dose of romance.

This was really good, i love her books and I definitely recommend this one. Such whimsical vibes. I will be picking up all future books

I can’t explain to you how excited I was to receive this ARC, I’m SUCH a Rachel Griffin fan and nothing makes me happier than being tangled in one of her stories. Bring me your midnight was full of the lush world building I love so much from Rachel. I fell in love with our FMC from page one, her free spirit could be felt on every page. I loved her connection to the ocean and her selflessness, Tana truly is one of my favorite characters I’ve ever read. And then there’s WOLFE my sweet brooding angel. They really were two sides of a coin and their romance truly swept me away. I loved this book so much oh my goodness. If you’re a fan of Rachel’s writing I think you’re going to love this one…and even if you just have small coastal town daydreams like I do, this one is COZY goodness. So excited to get my personalized copy in the mail!

I love a good title about forbidden love (a pull between duty and desire), and this one doesn't disappoint! I read it within a single sitting, and I'd do it again right away!

I had seen a lot of great reviews for this book, so I was quite excited when I hopped into reading it. However, I just don’t think the book clicked with me as much as it did for others. I felt like the book was way too slow paced but then super fast paced at times, and I began wishing that it would flow at a more continuous momentum than it did. All of this being said, I did think the plot was unique and I have a feeling that a lot of kids in our library could really like this book.

Bring Me Your Magic is about family expectations, friendship, love for your home, and best of all Magic!

Tana lives on an island with a coven of witches that practice low magic, and the wheels have been set in motion since she was a child for her to marry a Mainlander. Hoping the union would help cement laws to protect her home and the witches that live there. Tana is okay with this plan, at least until she meets Wolfe, and while their first interaction is a bit antagonistic their chemistry is undeniable. He tells her the truth and has her questioning everything she thought she knew.

I loved Tana's relationship with Wolfe, even when she doesn't want to she is drawn to him. He tells her the truth and not only loves her for who she is but teaches her to love herself. The writing and the setting are beautiful, and the plot and the romance sucked me in from the first page.

Bring Me Your Midnight was a beautiful story about many kinds of relationships. The book focuses on Tana's relationship with her mother, her best friend, her community, the boy she loves, herself, and her magic. As always, Rachel Griffin's writing pulls you in and evokes your senses. Although not as lyrical as her other stories, the writing is still beautiful and I was more invested and hooked by the plot in this book.

The setting was wonderful and cozy, and the magic system was very simple and easy to follow. I loved all the characters, and wished we had more backstory on each of Tana's parents (although the book does get into some of her mother's story). I also loved the fact that Landon, Tana's betrothed, was such a good guy. I enjoyed seeing their relationship begin to develop, and would have liked even more! The relationship between Tana and Wolfe was intense and I loved every second of it. Even though it happened pretty fast, it was done well.

I loved this book and would recommend it to fans of Rachel Griffin, witchy and atmospheric reads, kind-of love triangles, main characters finding themselves, complicated relationships, "I shouldn't love you," and beautiful broody male characters.

Thank you to Sourcebooks, NetGalley, and Rachel Griffin for the advance copy in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own and are given freely. This beautiful book is available on August 1st, 2023!

Thank you to the publishers for sending me a copy of Bring Me Your Midnights. While I love all things Rachel Griffin, I was slightly disappointed in the execution of this novel. The descriptions were beautiful as Rachel is an expert storyteller, but Bring Me Your Midnights as a whole felt slightly rushed and unfinished

Flew through this book, especially in the second half. Loved the island setting, and the non-complex magical system. It wasn’t overly complicated or difficult to understand. The romance happened very quickly, but I really loved their chemistry and would like to see more! I agree with others about how nice some POV from Wolfe would have been! Nice, whimsical YA magical read!

Thank you to Netgalley for sending me an eARC copy of this book!

4/5 Stars

This was exactly what I was needing when I picked this up, something light, a quick page-turner, and something which would kept me interested. This is a perfect standalone fantasy, which I enjoyed very much. The seaside island town with a touch of magic, is perfect for those looking for a quick low fantasy read. I couldn't stop reading this, and found myself finishing this book within one sitting.

I highly recommend picking up this book, and am definitely looking to get a physical copy for myself.

I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this book! I was sucked in and sped through the last 2/3 of it like it was air and I had been underwater for hours. The characters felt alive, and while the romance was instant and not usually my style, the plot’s consistency and intrigue kept me close.


Thank you to Sourcebooks and Netgalley for a digital copy of this delightful story. Opinions are my own!

After a slow start in the first half (where was this going? and how did we bounce from L to W that quickly?) the second half of this book took off. I meant to read about 100 pages in the morning and then never stopped. I like witch books. I love a magical island. I need more forbidden love in my life. This checked so many boxes for what I needed in a romance and in a story that I just gobbled it up. Was it perfect? no. Was it a great read? totally.

Thank you to sourcebooks, NetGalley, and Rachel Griffin for an ARC of this book. All opinions that follow are my own.

Wow! This book is beautiful and catches you right from the beginning. The descriptions of the world are building. Rachel Griffin also has such a way of making you feel every emotion - you feel the happiness, sadness, and confusion right alongside the characters as they navigate growing up.

Exploring the ideas of duty vs doing what’s right for you. Would you be willing to put everything you’ve known at risk? Would you potentially turn your back on everything you’ve ever known?

I loved the world that was created, it felt both fanciful and believable. The world felt like it could really exist alongside our own as Griffin merged the magical and the modern in a way that felt natural and not forced.

This book was such a beautiful exploration of growing up, relationships between: a daughter and her parents, an individual and her community, a woman and the man she loves, and a girl and her best friend. Never did this feel forced or unnatural.

Highly recommend this book!

thank you to netgalley for the arc! this was such a fun read, so i enjoyed reading it all!

rachel griffin writes about tana fairchild who is the daughter of the coven's leader on an island where they have a tense relationship with the mainland who seem to be afraid of the witches. tana's role as the heir is to marry the son of the mayor over at the mainland, landon. the story starts with tana missing a ritual that can be fatal for her. but she meets wolfe, a mysterious boy who helps her in more ways than one.

overall, i really enjoyed the plot and the witchcraft of it all. it wasn't a complicated magic system which i appreciate so much in a fantasy novel. this is a young adult novel, and while some of it was obvious, it was still enjoyable.

the novel is written in first person, so it's somewhat difficult to understand what the other characters were thinking since we only saw them through tana's eyes, but even then, i loved seeing her different relationships with her parents, her best friend, and wolfe. the one thing i would have liked to have more of is seeing landon and having more interactions with him. because honestly? zero part of me ever wanted to root for him.

the romance was really cute between tana and wolfe. i still feel like i would have liked to see wolfe's perspective because there were times tana would see that wolfe was getting emotional, but all we read was the dialogue between the two of them. and oftentimes, wolfe would say different things than what he was feeling, so i think at least a few chapters from his perspective would have been so fun to read! especially about life in the hidden coven.

this book was one of my favorites i've read this year because it was whimsical and fantastical, and there were so many parts of the story that made my heart ache. so if you're looking for a cute and quick read with splendid worldbuilding, i can't recommend this one enough.

- Rachel Griffin, Bring Me Your Midnight

ARC review 📝 Romantic. Atmospheric. This island, Witchery, will easily and unapologetically invade all your senses and get under your skin. There’s no escaping it. There’s no escaping magic. Even if magic itself seems to be at war with the very same nature that fuels it.

Tana and Wolfe are our hosts and their midnight rendezvous will make you swoon… or worse, hope. How can one not fall for them?! How can one resist rooting for more?!

I have a thing for witchy reads. I also have a thing for atmospheric islands that feel like characters on their own. And Rachel Griffin has this power, to pick you up and take you for a truly aesthetic ride through these incredibly beautiful worlds she creates.

What’s inside:
🖤witchy fantasy romance
🖤h*te to love
🖤secretive island
🖤midnight encounters
🖤I would set the world on fire for you

NA. 4 stars ⭐️ Thank you so much @ @sourcebooksfire and @timesnewrachel for this eARC. This beauty will be out in the wild on August 1st 🥹 and yes, you want it 👏🏼

This was my first ever Rachel Griffin book, and it will NOT be my last.

This book is so beautifully atmospheric, I felt like I could imagine the feeling of walking around on the island, surrounded by salty air and magical shops. The writing is absolutely stunning and romantic, and the characters are complex and relatable even if you don’t agree with them. The history of the witches and the mainland is a sinister one, one that feels very threatening and tenuous. When Tana starts noticing things that are off, I found myself completely intrigued and unable to put the book down for how thoroughly the plot grabbed me.

Now let’s talk about characters. Tana is kind of naive, and yet holds this quiet defiance in the face of what she has been told she is supposed to do, and who she is to be. Her internal struggles as she learns more about magic and the truth of her people was so believable and raw, and I genuinely wasn’t sure what she was going to do or how she was going to do it. Her chemistry with Wolfe is palpable, and there are so many beautiful and romantic moments between the two from the very beginning, despite their (many) differences.

I just loved this. I knew from the 30% mark that this was probably going to be a five star read, and I’m happy to say that my prediction was correct. Read this if you like: witches, romance, secrets, romance, betrayal, tension, finding yourself, doing what is right for you even when others don’t want you to, and ending up the person you were always meant to be.

Thank you endlessly to sourcebooks fire & Netgalley for the eArc of this title!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this author's previous work, The Nature of Witches, and this cover is soooo gorgeous, so I was interested to read this book. And it was... fine. I liked the magic system, and the secrets and discovery of said secrets. That being said, everything just happened so... quickly. I've never been a fan of insta-love, and this isn't quite that, but it's damn close. And I mean.... the love interest's name is... Wolfe Hawthorne? That's a... choice.

Overall, this was a nice quick read, and I did like how the environmental undertones (so often present in Griffin's other work). Were the witches' "new" way of doing magic and it's unintentional effects on their environment a thinly veiled metaphor for the human impact on our current climate crisis? Probably! And yes, I loved that!

LOVED IT! OBSESSED! I finished it in a day! It’s a fun little witchy tale about what I originally thought were mermaid witches but just ended up being witches on a mysterious island. I loved Tana and Wolfe and watching their relationship grow as Tana struggled with the lies told to her and her duty to her coven and her loyalties. However, I have to agree with Tana my loyalties follow suit. It loved her relationship with her dad, which to me seemed to be the. Only genuine loving relationship. Her BFF is sketchy as hell and not nearly fleshed out enough for me to care about her in any way. But overall I deeply cared about the growing currents and damage to the coastline, it was a fun on-the-nose story about young witches finding their way and life and each other. Overall 10/10 would recommend it. I am going out to buy a hard copy and see if I can find some plant to let me gain magical abilities.
