Lady Midnight – by Amanda McCabe
Rating – 3.0/ 5.0
Heat – 6 / 10
Genre – Regency Romance, some suspense
I had a hard time assigning a rating to this book. The plot was reasonably good if a trifle predictable. I mostly liked the main characters. The secondary characters of the H’s sister and daughter were nicely done. My main problem was the style of prose. I found it just too overwrought. Very flowery and overly descriptive. Also, it was often repetitive. I found myself skimming at times because I was bored reading the same feelings or events described multiple times.
The H was not nearly as well fleshed out as the h. He was by far the more likable character so it was too bad. One thing I particularly liked about him was his open honest way of speaking. He knew when the h was being needlessly self-sacrificing and called her on it.
I did like the h too, but she sometimes did truly stupid things. It felt to me like a poor choice of ways to advance the plot. The secondary character of the sister was also shown to make stupid mistakes in order to provide more drama.
Even though I enjoyed the story line I would not choose to read another book by this author because I don’t like her style. Pity, because I like her writing as Laurel McKee. It’s much cleaner.
