Book Review: 'The Midnight Witch' by Paula Brackston

The Midnight Witch by Paula Brackston
"Midnight is the most bewitching hour of them all…
From Paula Brackston, the New York Times bestselling author of The Witch’s Daughter and The Winter Witch, comes a magical tale that is as dark as it is enchanting. Set in high society Edwardian England, The Midnight Witch is the story of a young witch who faces the choice between love and loyalty to her coven…" (Provided by Publisher)


Beautiful, young Lady Lilith Montgomery is the daughter of the sixth Duke of Radnor. When her father dies, her drug addict brother Freddie takes over the Duke title, but it is Lilith (who has been instructed in the art of necromancy) who takes on her father's role as Head Witch of the Lazarus Coven.

"Depicting a time of great social change allows Brackston (The Witch's Daughter) to create a pleasing character arc for Lilith, who seems of her time but still willing to defy convention to achieve happiness. There are balls and gowns as well as slums and opium dens, all painting a picture of a lost age, with just enough magic to keep things exciting for fantasy fans." (Library Journal Reviews)
