LS Delorme's Bright Midnights: A Dark Paranormal Love
Story is a gorgeous addition to the Limerent Series, offering a rich blend
of metaphysical sci-fi and romance. In this enthralling narrative, we follow
the plight of 17-year-old Amelie, laden with a mysterious gift that attracts
others to her. But those who get to her present dangers, so she must shield
herself by constructing barriers in her mind. From the outset, Amelie's life is
fraught with challenges beyond typical teenage angst. Her unique ability to
draw others toward her sets her apart; while she draws others to her, she can
also feel lonely. Her safe place is her dreams, and when she encounters
the mysterious Clovis, whose secrets intertwine with hers, a forbidden
attraction is born between the two, an attraction that will fuel the tension
that moves this story forward.
Delorme creates intricate plot twists, compelling
characters, and a looming sense of foreboding, intelligently presenting a
thought-provoking exploration of love, secrecy, and the nuanced dynamics of
human connection. The characters are finely drawn and compelling, from the libidinous
vice principal to Amelie’s unfeeling parents and uncaring friends; the characters highlight the stark contrast between Amelie's desire for an everyday teenage life and the reality of her extraordinary circumstances. As the
relationship between Amelie and Clovis unfolds, Delorme introduces themes of
passion and love, drawing readers into their beguiling journey. The novel's
steady pace and compelling storytelling make its epic length feel less
daunting, ensuring it will resonate with lovers of relationship-driven urban
fantasy. The prose is exquisite and filled with captivating dialogues. The
author offers terrific descriptions like “A small reptilian smile played at his
cracked lips…” and “The chemical wave that seemed to be her birthright rolled
over him, through him, past him and across the class … person by person, face
by face.” Bright Midnights is a page-turning meld of paranormal and
romance, a balanced and deft narrative that will keep fans awake
throughout the night.
