The Midnight Witch by Paula Brackston
2.0
2.5 stars. Don't get me wrong, the writing in this was decent and the story had a lot of potential.
What made me dislike this book to the extent that I did was the characters. The main character, Lilith Montgomery, was without common sense and seemed to forget the bigger problem of the story in lieu of worrying about how she and her artist boyfriend can be together, since she's a rich Lady and engaged already. Then big events would happen regarding the main protagonist and you'd think, hey, maybe this time she'll DO something about this whole situation instead of just ignoring it. Nope, no such luck. It was a strange, out-of-sight-out-of-mind sort of thing that didn't mesh the two sides of the story together well.
Also, I'm kind of still puzzled about how she and her artist boyfriend fell in love, because all I got from him was, "she's hot and whoa, she's a witch, wow" and all I got from her was, "oh he's an artist and not a witch but he likes me anyway?".
Needless to say, there was a lot of yelling (on my part) at these characters because they just didn't do anything right.
