Thank you NetGalley and William Morrow for this early review copy.

This was a great book! It did sort of progress slowly building up to the big day where everything went down. However, it was all necessary and once you got to the main event all the dots started to really connect. There were multiple twists and surprises, and I absolutely loved every single one of them. "The Birds" throughout the book sort of threw me a bit and I feel like there could be a whole other book where you learn about them, which I would love. I definitely feel like I need and want more information and story on them.

What a creepy story. Layers on layers of secrets and lies and connections between the characters. The story is told from multiple POVs during the few days leading up to the Midnight Feast and solstice to open a new resort. Among those are bits of a 15 year old diary, explaining some of the character connections leading up to a hidden crime from back then.
There were lots of twists and turns. The reader would know about a dead body or some other situation but not exactly who it was, and there were lots of little comments and hints dropped in to raise suspicion of multiple people.
This was interesting, but there were some super creepy elements that were hard to read.

In the vein of "The Guest List", Lucy Foley's latest, "The Midnight Feast" is a gripping, suspenseful, thriller, set on the English Coast during the summer solstice . As you get introduced to characters and the scene, you immediately know something 'really bad' happened. Through a web of connections across parallel story lines, you are able to slowly connect the dots. Fans of Foley will enjoy her latest! I loved the quirkiness of the characters and waiting to see the 'who did what'. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC, this was a great read!

I received this as an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

The premise of this book and the cover made me excited to read this but it just wasn’t for me. There were too many POVs in my opinion, though I know that that is this author’s style. In addition to that, the timeline also flip flopped around a lot and was a tad confusing at times. The characters weren’t very likable to me, but some were meant to be hated I think.

Also, the twists were not very exciting. I wouldn’t say they were predictable necessarily, but the reveals were not executed in a way that made them feel impactful.

I liked The Paris Apartment from this Lucy Foley but this will probably be the last book I read of hers.

I jumped at the chance to read this book. I’ve had this authors’s past books on my shelf since they’ve come out. Unfortunately for me, this book fell flat. I did enjoy the premise and was sucked in by the cover, but other than that, it was a miss. I will try again and hope that these previous or upcoming books are more a fit for me.

There were so many characters including some with name changes, that I found it hard to keep track. Some characters haven’t see each other in 15 years and there was a failure to recognize, which came off as totally odd. Scenarios were thrown in that were not necessary and added nothing to the storyline. Multiple POVs, journal entries and multiple time lines, made this book an extremely slow read for me. I feared if I put it down, I’d never pick it up again. I did finish this book, but once it ended, I totally forgot most things about it. I found the majority of the characters unlikeable and unrelatable. Privilege at its worst. The book does pick up towards the end, and there was a twist or two that I didn’t see coming, but it was too late to save the book for me. So much potential here about the local folklore but it just left me scratching my head as to why it was inserted and not fully explored.

Thanks to William Morrow and NetGalley for this ARC. This is my honest opinion.

This was one of the thrillers I was excited to read this year and I’m so glad and thankful I was able to get an advanced copy🥹 This was such a fast paced page turner thriller with multiple POV’s’ and interchanging timelines. The story was so entertaining, it made me want to keep reading after every chapter to find another piece to the puzzle! And it also helps that the chapters are so short because it keeps you wanting more! Once things started to click, I was like “OMG”😱 a perfect summer thriller👍🏼

Thank you NetGalley and HaperCollins Publishers for the ARC.

YA’LL. THIS. WAS. SO. FLIPPING. GOOD! I’m a big Lucy Foley fan. She’s an auto buy author for me because her books never disappoint, and this one was no different. She has the perfect writing style and formula for her books that just works. We start off in this one knowing there is a murder which immediately sucks you in. Then there are the classic multiple POVs, mysterious journal entries thrown in, multiple perspectives, and the plot flipping from the present to the past. She creates just enough mystery and intrigue that builds just at the right pace until you reach that perfect twist of an ending. And that last sentence??Chef’s kiss!!! I also loved how atmospheric this was. I could picture myself at The Manor watching all of the creepy chaos unfold. To me this was Midsommar meets Blair Witch meets The Village and I could not devour the words fast enough. Bravo Lucy! 👏👏👏

Thank you to NetGalley and William Morrow Books for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Lucy Foley is good for an entertaining popcorn thriller that doesn't require much brain power to consume. The Midnight Feast is a tale of rich people acting messy and childhood vengeance. There's a lot going on at first and it was hard to track, but once I got the characters down and what they were looking for, I fell neatly into the story.

What a fun ride! This book DID NOT quit! It kept me on the edge of my seat and the twists and secrets were smart and well-plotted. Really enjoyed the ancestral nature of the setting. Felt like I was there - kind of wanted to be ha. Definitely recommend!

Thanks for the arc! Lucy Foley is an auto buy author for me. Her newest book is awesome! I loved it! Other fans of Lucy’s will definitely enjoy it!

Like all of Lucy Foley’s books, this story is so intricately woven I was left reeling from the ending. You’re tossed back 15 years into the past every few chapters as you unravel more about the intriguing cast of characters. The setting is perfectly haunting and the pagan elements throughout leave you curious to discover more. I would highly recommend this book!

I am ALWAYS up for a Lucy foley book! I love The Paris Apartment but this just didn’t hit the same. The Midnight Feast is a slow build and honestly I thought about DNFing multiple times in the first half but I always finish an ARC. I stuck it out and for the last 1/3 of the book, it was worth it. It has the typical Foley finish which was EXCELLENT and kept me guessing. The Midnight Feast has a lot of characters and starts a little muddled but the way it ends makes me recommend this anyway. As always, I’ll be looking forward to her next one!

As always a classic Lucy. She does it again and again. Keeps me on my toes wondering what could possible be next. I couldn’t recommend more!

Was such a honor to get an ARC of The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley, who wrote The Paris Apartment which I loved and devoured. Thank you NetGalley for this ebook in exchange for my honest review!

This one was a bit slower of a read for me but at around 60% the pace picked up and I had to know the ending!

The book revolves around the opening night of The Manor, an exclusive resort for only the most fortunate of guests. There’s been a fire though, a body has been found and the guests are not right. The locals are not happy and employees of the manor have secrets to keep. 

Multiple POVS, past diary entries and a folklore story about “The Birds” who locals are so scared of they stay out of the woods. This book had a lot to figure out. I was happy with the ending and recommend for mystery and thriller lovers.

This was my first Lucy Foley book, having somehow missed the craze of The Guest List a few years back. After reading this one I will definitely be checking out some of Foley’s backlist books!

The Midnight Feast is told in alternating POVs with flashbacks via old journal entries - sold. I love this style so much and find it incredibly easy to binge. I laid in the hammock one day with a storm brewing and read this one without stopping.

The writing was well done and I enjoyed the setting of The Manor, a luxury resort in the countryside. I felt fully immersed in the experience and couldn’t wait to see what would happen next. I loved all the twists in this one and definitely recommend for fans of thrillers, dinner parties, multiple POVs, and small towns!

**Thank you to NetGalley and William Morrow Books for the eARC of this title!**

Another thrilling and creepy delight from Lucy Foley!
Who is the body found at the bottom of the cliff? And what lead up to the grisly discovery? Who are The Birds - folklore and fantasy or real and terrifying? One act of wickedness fifteen years ago has led to a reckoning the opening weekend of a luxurious, boutique hotel.
There were a lot of characters but I enjoyed how Foley jumped from one point of view to the next, building tension and then moving away at a cliffhanger. It was a rollercoaster to read, the anticipation of what is to come, the fear and adrenaline of the dropped clues and events and then the swirly confusion of the looping storylines. The use of the nursery rhyme was brilliant. It tapped into all my childhood fears.
Thank you Netgalley for the ARC.

At first this book was a bit hard to get into but then it got really good. The twists were shocking and the creepy vibes of the book were really good.

This has been the first novel I read of author Lucy Foley, so I don't really have any other to compare it to. I personally give this book a 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ star rating.

I have to say it was very confusing and hard to follow at times. I didn't know what was going on half the time and why it was happening. I almost didn't read all of it but pushed through it. I am glad I did since I liked the twists it had near the end. I also liked the fact that there was always something happening to Francesca "Frankie" and found it humorous when she tried to calm herself down. It did keep me guessing the entire time and made me really dislike Frankie and her brothers.

I would have to say that the last 25% of the novel had the most action. I still wish the author went into depth as to why "Frankie" and her twin brothers were troubled. It seemed like their entire family was very dysfunctional.

I want to thank Netgalley and HarperCollins publishers for the complimentary ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I gave this book a 5-star rating because it blew my mind. What I thought was the answer was totally not the answer. Although the beginning was slow, I kept reading because I just had to find out what led to the story's beginning. The multiple POV was quite good. It gives you a different perspective on each character, and trust me, they all had something to hide, hence the other POV. There was so many twists and turn till the very end. For almost a second, I thought there was a sprinkle of fantasy because of The Birds; maybe there was a bit of supernatural, depending on how it is interpreted. I finished it in less than 24 hrs; that's how good of a read it was. The end was satisfying, of course. Thank you to NetGalley and William Morrow for this opportunity.

*It’s giving Midsommar*

The Midnight Feast is Lucy Foley’s newest thriller. This multiple POV/timeline story will have you guessing what will happen next. The first half of this book I thought was very slow and took me awhile to be interested enough to finish through. I’m glad I stuck around till the end though, because it was worth it! My four star rating comes primarily from the second half of the book. I loved when the story finally came together and the twist at the end left me surprised.
Overall, I do recommend checking this one out when it’s published on June 18th, if you can make it through the first half of the story the ending is worth it!

Thank you William Morrow and NetGalley for this ARC!
