The Midnight Estate
by Kelly Rimmer
There’s a heavy ache in this story that stayed with me long after I finished. It’s full of regret and sadness—the kind that makes you question if you were ever enough and whether some things can be repaired once they’re broken beyond recognition.
The plot was very predictable, but that predictability didn’t lessen its impact. Instead, it made the characters feel even more real and their struggles familiar. I found myself holding my breath, not because I didn’t know what would happen, but because I cared so deeply about them—even when they made mistakes or seemed beyond saving.
This book isn’t a neat or easy escape. It’s messy, raw, and painful, like real life. It reminded me that healing isn’t always possible in the way we hope, and sometimes wanting to fix things isn’t enough. That truth lingered with me, quietly breaking and staying with me long after the last page.
