The time has come for Tana Fairchild to step into the role that’s been planned for her since birth. Her family’s coven (with her mom as the leader) agreed with the governor on the mainland for her to marry the governor’s son. Many years earlier, all the witches moved from the mainland to their island, where they practice a very mild magic. The non-magic inhabitants of the mainland mostly are satisfied with the situation, visiting the island to buy small items infused with magic, but there are plenty still who don’t entirely trust the witches. This alliance between the witches and the rulers of the mainland is vital to finally secure real safety for the witches.
Tana has always loved being in the water, being out in nature. It makes her nervous to think of having to move to the mainland and being cut off from her magical life, but she knows what she’s going to do is important. She has a duty, and she’ll fulfill it.
There used to be a coven that chose to continue practicing a stronger magic, not the watered-down variety practiced now. But everyone knows they’re long gone.
That’s until Tana meets a young man, Wolfe, who claims he is part of that coven. He shows her the power this hidden coven wields, and it feels so right to her. It courses through her and connects her to the water and the land.
When it’s time for her to commit to her marriage to the mainlander, Tana must make an impossible choice, between love and duty, between being true to herself and her very nature, or being someone she’s not for her family and community’s sake.
Bring Me Your Midnight is a magical romance, where the natural world plays a huge role in the story. Author Rachel Griffin writes that she has a deep love of nature, and it shows in her books about witches and magic. (This is definitely true in her Wild Is the Witch young adult book.) This book kept me up late reading, because I just wanted to see where it went. Very satisfying.
Rated: Moderate. Profanity includes 4 uses of strong language, about a dozen uses of mild language, and fewer than 10 instances of the name of Deity in vain. Sexual content includes kissing and a couple of sex scenes. One is mostly “off-screen,” and the other is minimally detailed.
