If you’re looking for a good thriller, I have just the book for you. I just finished The Midnight Hour by Eve Chase and I loved it.

Thank you to NetGalley and Ballantine Books for the ARC.

Dual timeline with some twists- one twist that I did not guess so bravo there. Would give this 3.5 so closer to 4 stars.

Wow Eve Chase writes beautifully and makes readers feel immersed in the setting.

The story has two timelines and is about the disappearance of Maggie’s mom, the daughter trying to move on buy her past coming back to haunt her with the remodeling of her childhood home.

Some topics/ themes are:
✨infatuation
✨Abandonment
✨Independence
✨ Sibling dynamics

Overall, the story kept me wondering what was going to happen next. If you like to read about mysteries set in Notting Hill & Paris, I would suggest you to give this a try!

Thank you NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group-Ballantine for the digital copy in exchange of my honest opinions.

I loved The Midnight Hour by Eve Chase. Maggie Parker is the protagonist, and the story seamlessly navigates from her unsettled youth, when her mother disappears (which ultimately leads to traumatic consequences that last for decades) and Maggie's adult life as a successful author. Deeply entwined in this story are the lives of her extended family and her first love, Wolf.

If you read my reviews, you will know I typically HATE love stories (primarily because the way they are told is almost always unrealistic and silly) but one is weaved throughout this story, and I have to admit I shed a few years reading this book.

I was fascinated by the Eve Chase's talent in quickly engaging the reader and making us care about the all too humanly flawed characters in this book.

The author gives you both villains to loathe and heroes to adore, and you are glad to go along for the ride.

At one point, the author allows you to see where the book is going, and you are just begging the characters to catch up.

A stellar mystery, as well as an exploration of familial and romantic love, and the enduring power of both.

Truly a captivating (and extremely well-written) novel, I highly recommend The Midnight Hour by Eve Chase.

I enjoyed this book, but I do think that it was missing a little oomph. Every "twist" fell a little flat for me. I really just wanted more of a shock.
