Review of Bright Midnights

More About Bright Midnights

In a world where viruses possess and dreams unlock new realms, 17 year old Amelie must navigate danger, love and her own dark powers to survive

Amelie has always been different.

Most high school students find life challenging, but 17-year old Amelie has a lot more to contend with than typical teenage angst. Ever since she turned 11, others have been irresistibly drawn to her-with tragic consequences. Her only escape is at night when she flies to different times and places through her "dreams". Her life begins to change when, on one of her flights, she meets Clovis, an alluring and mysterious young man who hides a secret.

As Amelie finds herself increasingly drawn to him, she learns his story, how it intertwines with her own and finally discovers how to live her life in the real world. Until her own secrets are revealed to the wrong people and that world turns upside down.

More About L.S. Delorme

Author Lexy Shaw Delorme (writing as LS Delorme) is the award-winning author of The Limerent Series, a genre-defying collection of emotionally resonant novels that blend supernatural mystery, psychological thriller, historical fiction, and romantic suspense. With a background as a lawyer, pop musician, and science writer, Lexy brings intellectual depth and

lyrical prose to every story she tells. Now based in Paris, she lives with her French husband and two very cool sons. Her work explores themes of limerence, memory, identity, and the echoes of past lives—and she’s not afraid to push boundaries along the way.

Thoughts About Bright Midnights

If I had to describe L.S. Delorme's writing with one word it would be vivid. While reading Bright Midnights I didn't just see the scenes - I could smell, taste, feel and hear them. I felt totally immersed, particularly in the other worlds.

Because this partially takes place in a high school and revolves around a 17 year old girl I began Bright Midnights thinking it was YA but the depth of the characters and the dark themes touched on make this a compelling read for adults. I enjoyed the off-balance feeling of reading about Amelie's ordinary life and the breathless adventures she found in other worlds, especially when the other worlds began leaking into her everyday life. Everyone had secrets and I found myself reading with my mouth hanging open in disbelief as some were revealed.

The ending was addictive. It wrapped things up but also opened the door to an entirely new phase for Amelie. I'm also excited by the fact that the author promises that characters that made cameo appearances will be back in future books in the Limerent Series.
