‘Midnight in Everwood’ by M.A Kuzniar is a truly enchanting read. This cover is gorgeous and I have been seeing it all over Twitter, major book envy! I was lucky enough for HQ to allow me a copy to be part of the book tour. Massive thanks to HQ!
I sat down and was swept away in this magical world. We follow Marietta, a woman who is finding life is not what she wants. She just wants to carry on ballet dancing while her parents expect her to make a good match. This is what people such as her family did at the turn of the twentieth century, not keep on dancing but marry well.
With the arrival of a new neighbour who is skilled in inventing incredible things, she finds herself attempting to avoid his unwanted advances and falls through a door into another world – Everwood, a magical place. While there she has to help her new friends she finds and try to get back to her world, while she can.
Such intricate and rich descriptions of this place and even the food, had me right there by Marietta’s side all the way. The food made me hungry too! I wished I could try everything myself.
I adored how Marietta grew in confidence as the story developed, and came to the conclusion she could follow her dreams and dance. This along with the female friendships within the book was beautiful to read about.
This is an enthralling and gorgeous read that I would love to find under my Christmas tree this year!
