Joel’s Scattered Thoughts

I recently finished reading In The Midnight Hour by Patti O’Shea. I received this book free in digital form from Tor’s Watch the Skies.

I have a soft spot for paranormal romances and this is a good one. This book pulled me in very quickly and kept on moving. Lately a lot of the books I’ve been reading have been suffering from lag: the story starts, then peters out, then resumes right at the end to encourage you to buy the sequel. This book does not do that - the action starts and keeps on moving the whole way through.

The base story actually resembles a classic fairy tale. Ryne, a magical troubleshooter, discovers a man under a curse, Deke. She tries to free him from the curse and discovers it’s going to be a lot more complicated than she’d first thought. The story is solid and the romance is woven in beautifully.
