My thoughts
The Midnight Village gave me big Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Charmed vibes. Personally, I love that. It’s a light-hearted read and, as it’s October as I write this, perfect for Halloween lovers who want to read something mystical, but not scary.
The village of Midnight really comes alive throughout the book. It has all the qualities you’d expect in a cosy romance from quirky characters to strong friendships. There’s even a street of local shops, only this one is fabulously magical. The doorway of the bookshop is a giant open book and mugs of steaming hot chocolate float around, ready for you to grab whenever it takes your fancy.
I’m currently researching my latest World War Two novel. As you might imagine, much of that research is heavy and The Midnight Village has been a refreshing source of escapist fiction for me.
