I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. The cover is what drew me into this book. I found myself wondering what the books was about before I read the blurb. Then I did and wanted to get my hands on it. The worldbuilding is what really brought this book to life. It was mystical and complex in the very best of ways. Tana goes through a lot in the name of magic and love. Her life is planned out of her to be married to Landon as part of an alliance. Then she is late for an event and meets up with Wolfe. Their relationship is complicated to say the least. It made me feel all kind of different things as the story progressed.

4.5 ⭐️
I loved this book so much!!!
This book has everything you could want from a magical witchy book. All of the relationships were perfectly built, family, friends and love, each one was amazing! This book had me feel like I was in it, the descriptions allowed me to picture everything perfectly in my head. I cannot wait to pick up another witchy book from Rachel.

The only thing that bothered me about this book was there was a few spelling errors or typos that were very obvious, but other than that I 100% recommend checking this out

I really, really enjoyed this one. I think it's actually my favorite Rachel Griffin book yet. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

Rachel Griffin obviously has a type of book: environmentally conscious witchy romances. Despite having a common through-line, each of her books manages to take a unique spin on how magic manifests, the culture of that magic, and what conflicts (or benefits) it gives to the natural world around them. This one was unique in that the witches on the island are not portrayed as fully innocent. They have power they cannot access, and the tides are changing because of them in order to keep the fearful, non-magical mainlanders happy. There a lot of themes about isolation and keeping your true self hidden that I think are really well done. (Honestlyyyy a lot of it reads like a queer deconstruction narrative even though that totally isn't what it is, but the beats are there.) Essentially, this is a story about someone who has a duty she is fully prepared to give up her desires for on the sincerity of her belief, only to have that belief shattered and have to relearn everything she's been taught.

The romance is really lovely as well! I think the only thing I disliked is that the boy's name was Wolfe. This is a personal preference that still made me wince each time I saw his name because I could only think of the kids at school when I was 13 who wore tails. I digress.

Overall, I think the prose, romance plot - all of this is Griffin's strongest, including the environmental beat. (Consequences! There are consequences! This is not a thing that happens enough in YA and I love that!) If you liked her other books, you'll love this one, and if you were on the fence, I'd still give it a try as I think it's her strongest writing yet.

I am convinced this book as written or the eldest daughters that never get to choose themselves. Once again, I have fallen in love with Griffin's writing. This is a well written and engaging read for lovers of good books!

This book completely swept me off my feet! What initially attracted me was its gorgeous cover, but I soon found myself captivated by the extraordinary worldbuilding, intriguing characters, and a plot that held me in its grip.

Tana, the protagonist, became an instant favourite. Navigating her journey was an absolute delight, and I found myself deeply invested in her character.

The writing was easy to read, and I felt connected to the characters.

While the ending left me craving a bit more depth, the overall enjoyment I derived from this book was immense. It was a delightful journey that exceeded my initial expectations, and I can't wait to explore more works from this author. The blend of a beautiful cover, a compelling world, and engaging characters made this read an unforgettable experience.

This was an alright coming of age tween story. I enjoyed it but I wanted more. More character development, more tension, more magic… just more.

I’m such a big fan of RG’s atmospheric settings. How she paints such a vivid picture is beyond me. This book was so wonderful and different from Nature of Witches.

I loved the dynamic between the two MCs, how they seemed to help each other grow as people! ::swoon::

I’m so so grateful I got to read this as an eARC!

Thank you to Netgalley and Sourcefire Books for sending me a copy of this book! All opinions are my own!

Have you been looking for an absolutely magical story that will sweep you off your feet and take you into a world that will show you the true power of love? Well look no further! The message behind this story about being true to yourself and about the depth of love was one that stood out to me against such an enchanting background.

The romance in this story is so sweet and strong in a way that I haven't read in a while. I loved watching Tana and Wolf get to know each other and figure out where they fit into the world in relation to one another and in general. I think Tana's story of self-discovery and the assuredness to go where you truly fit was beautiful in and of itself. She shows the strength it takes to be yourself and the joy and freedom that it can bring which is unlike anything else.

There seemed to be a lot of repetition, which the plot itself lends to, but the repetition made it feel like the story was dragging a bit toward the end. But I absolutely loved the ending and the way it tied all the threads together.

If you're in a witchy mood, head to the Witchery!

Not my favorite Rachel Griffin book but I love her atmospheric writing with elements of discussing climate change and this book continues to deliver that

I started this book last night. It sounded promising, but it never really grabbed my attention. It felt like a fairytale without the dire stakes. It was also too immature and simple. The characters were too one-dimensional and lacked complexity. The story was also a little too simple. It was like the genre of the book is stuck between middle grade and YA, but not in a positive way.

DNF at 24%.

“I used to believe that I belonged to the sea. But I was wrong. The sea belongs to me.” —Rachel Griffin, Bring Me Your Midnight

Bring Me Your Midnight tells the story of Mortana Fairchild, whose path has been chosen for her since the moment she was born, as she begins to grapple with her sense of familial and societal duty, her own desires and the possibility that the belief system she has been raised on might be flawed, and the fundamental truths she has been taught might not be so.

The way that Rachel Griffin manages to reinvent the concept magic with each of her books, finding new ways to make nature its foundation, exploring environmental themes and settings with such reverence and care, never ceases to amaze me and I genuinely think this is something that sets her apart within the subgenre of witchy fantasy books.

Pulling off a self-discovery journey like the one Tana goes through, where she finds herself challenging her own beliefs, learning to want things for herself when her whole life has been dictated by others’ wants and needs, while keeping the YA audience in mind is no easy feat, and I think this book is a stellar example of how to do just that. Without taking away from the seriousness and complexity of the subjects it navigates, Rachel Griffin managed to present us with a journey of self-discovery that is easily digestible for a younger audience, while still meaningful and multi-layered.

I thoroughly enjoyed Tana’s relationship with Wolfe (to the point where it made my chest ache), and how he never pushed his beliefs or ideals onto her but rather encouraged her to seek answers, seek the truth, for herself. He encouraged her choice, be what it may, when she grew up believing she didn’t have any to begin with.

Having said that, I also enjoyed that the focus wasn’t just on Tana and Wolfe’s relationship, but also the relationship between Tana and her parents, Tana’s friendship with Ivy, Tana and Wolfe’s relationship with their respective communities, as well as their relationship to the environment, etc. It was interesting to see how these relationships evolved along with Tana’s development as a character.

I would highly recommend giving Bring Me Your Midnight a read; it is fun, magical and heart-achingly romantic, the kind of book that will wrap you up in atmosphere and make you lose track of time.

I was very pleased with the novel. Bring Me Your Midnight was a lovely novel that pulls you into the lives of the characters. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this novel.

I have not finished Bring Me Your Midnight yet, but I have been really enjoying this book a lot. Bring Me Your Midnight feels closer to what The Nature of Witch felt like. This book is very atmospheric and makes you have a ton of questions, which is great because you'll be constantly flipping the pages to see what the truth is.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! No spoilers. Beyond amazing I enjoyed this book so very much. The characters and storyline were fantastic. The ending I did not see coming Could not put down nor did I want to. Truly Amazing and appreciated the whole story. This is going to be a must read for many many readers. Maybe even a book club pick.

I have such mixed feelings. The book was good, I really enjoyed it overall, but I feel like I did struggle through at a few times. I loved the magic aspect and the romance aspect of the book as well.

Books about witches always manage to sky rocket to the top of my TBR. I have heard so many great things about Rachel Griffin's novels and I was excited to check this one out. The premise is very interesting and I liked the main character Tana a lot. The different kinds of magic were very interesting and the island setting added another layer to the story. There isn't anything necessarily wrong with this book, I just never felt fully into the story as Tana made tough decisions. It could be a case of wrong time, right book so I will definitely give Rachel Griffin's books another shot.

Loving all of the books that Rachel Griffin has put out. Bring me your Midnight is no different. Another great example of her incredible writing.

Bring Me Your Midnight is everything I didn't know I needed from Rachel Griffin. I loved Wild is the Witch, and Bring Me Your Midnight captures that same atmospheric writing style with a fantasy setting. This book aboslutely worked for me, and I couldn't get enough.

I really enjoyed this story, and absolutely flew through it in a day. I thought the characters were very compelling, and I enjoyed the world and the magic system! I loved its connection to the tides with the names high tide and low tide magic, and that their magic was stronger at night because of the way the moon affects the tides. The only thing I didn't love was I wasn't completely sure about the setting--if it was our world with magic or a new universe altogether, and if it was our world, I was trying to place it further back in history than it clearly was (at the mention of electricity, and then phones later on, I got a bit of whiplash trying to orient myself). Overall a lovely story with a compelling romance.

I LOVED this book so much! This was an enchanting, beautifully written and deeply emotional fantasy romance.
I absolutely devoured this book, it was fast-paced, the writing is beautiful and lyrical, love the story and the characters. It was nothing short of perfect.
Looking forward to reading more of Rachel's writing!
