Bring Me Your Midnight by Rachael Griffin

Bring Me Your Midnight by Rachael Griffin is a must read this August! Filled with magic, romance, and deceit this one was hard for me to put down. 

Tana is the daughter of the New Covens leader and as such carries the responsibility of marrying the Mainlands Governor’s son. For all her life she has been aware and ok with this decision, proud to be joining the Witchery, the island all witches escaped too and the mainland creating an alliance. 

Mainlanders how grown less fearful of witches since they stopped practicing dark magic and now only do menial magical tasks performing only low magic and turning the Witchery into something like a tourist destination. 

Tana is alright with this until she starts seeing moonflowers which are said to be deadly to witches. One night she accidentally runs into Wolfe a young man that happens to practice dark magic or as he calls it high magic. In order for Tana to survive after missing the rush she must release her excess magic and to do that she must practice high magic at least once. 

Wolfe warns her she will want more once she has tried it. Will Tana be able to resist the natural pull of high magic while also resisting the irritating attraction to Wolfe when she is already betrothed? She must decide if duty is worth giving up the natural side of herself.
