Bring Me Your Midnight

It's just another paint-by-numbers paranormal YA.

Tana is a blad protagonist. She's supposedly 19 but sounds 15. She suffers from a bad case of insta-love with the ever-brooding and boring Wolfe. The forbidden romance was supposed to be the pull of this novel but I didn't care enough about these two to be concerned with whether they end up together or not. He basically tells her he hates her and everything she stands for but he also has ‘feelings' for her and her reaction is ‘this is true love'.

The theme of forbidden magic, another pivotal element, didn't receive the detailed treatment I had hoped for. Instead, it was presented as a somewhat vague concept that required unquestioning acceptance.

In sum, my reading experience can best be described as “meh.” While the book had the potential to captivate, it left me feeling indifferent.
