medium-paced

- Loveable characters? No
2.5
Zoey Draven knows her niche—romance, tension, and spice—and The Midnight Arrow delivers on all three. But while it checked the right boxes, it didn’t leave much of a lasting impression.
This was a shorter, character-driven story that felt like it might be set in one of her established worlds (though I’m not familiar with it). There’s just enough world-building to set the scene, but given the low page count, it’s more of a backdrop than a fully fleshed-out setting.
Nothing about the plot or characters particularly stood out, but there’s a certain reliability to Draven’s books. She follows a formula, and sometimes, that’s exactly what you need. When I’m in the mood for a quick, steamy read with guaranteed chemistry, I know I can pick up one of her books and get exactly that.
