Not a strong start to this series, as the plot felt forced and the characters felt stilted and were frankly annoying.
Especially Cam, whose personality seemed to have been completely altered from his first introduction.

After reading Devil in Winter, I really wanted to read Cam's story. I just love the character.
The Hathaway family is just a mess. It felt a bit over the top to me. One sibling is a kleptomaniac, another self-destructive and suicidal, another struggling with chronic illness. It was just a bit much for me.
I found Amelia herself to be annoying. I still don't understand her reluctance to marry Cam. It didn't make sense to me.
I'm not comfortable with the racism in the book either. It just felt off. Devil in Winter didn't have the same feel.

CW: this book is historical fiction featuring a Romany protagonist who does experience acts of racism and discrimination on the page though never from the love interest. Such examples includes casual but racially insensitive comments from side characters and overtly racist comments from the antagonist.
In a genre that continues to uplift mediocre (and even abusive) men, it really is a treat to read about a male character that is genuinely a good person, goes above and beyond for their love, and sounds so hot like he’s godly handsome. That’s Cam Rohan. I deem him one of the best romantic heroes ever written.
Other pros to this is includes: my other true love Miss Beatrix Hathaway, exceptional writing with lots of historical details, settings that are characters, a fantastic family dynamic that would make the Bridgertons weep, and a romance where the pair fits together so perfectly.
Mine Till Midnight is a near perfect historical romance by a masterful writer. I can’t wait to read more in this series!

Contains Anti-Romani racism which is historically accurate but still upsetting (from the “villains” of the book, and it’s clear the author doesn’t support or agree with this bigotry, but it’s still present throughout).
