For fans of portal fantasies like Jessica Townsend's Nevermoor, Colin Meloy's Wildwood, and The Spiderwick Chronicles by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black, and unlike so many other fantasies that introduce readers to a world of enchantment and wonder, The Midnight Hour is one filled with beasts and monsters for readers looking to shine their flashlights under the covers.

The Midnight Hour

When her parents disappear, Emily stumbles into the secret world of the Midnight Hour. A Victorian London frozen in time, this is a haven for all things spooky--including monsters determined to end the world. What secrets have her parents been hiding? There's only one way Emily can find out and rescue her mom and dad: she must be brave enough to embrace her own inner magic.

* I got this book for review from the publisher*

I really wanted to love this book. I found this book to have a super fun concept and really loved he setting. But I felt like the pacing of this read, along with the world building did confuse me. I really liked the main character. I felt like there was less side characters to expand the world and that made me enjoy it less. But overall it was enjoyable read! I just wanted the world to be a tad clearer.

This was highly enjoyable! I loved the magic in this book!
