A gorgeous book cover so appropriate for the beautiful fantasy romance novel it contains. In The Midnight Bargain, Beatrice Clayborn is a sorceress that yearns to become a full-fledged magus; but she needs a special grimoire to accomplish this.

Because women practicing magic is frowned upon in her country, Beatrice must secretly search for the coveted grimoire in the various booksellers of Bendelton. Once she finds the grimoire, she is swindled out of it by another sorceress.

Desperate to get the grimoire back, Beatrice makes a bargain with a spirit to help retrieve the grimoire. What follows are a series of both bitter and pleasant surprises. A very magical read and well suited for fans of fantasy and light romance. Five stars -- I loved it!

I received a digital ARC of this book from Erewhon Books through NetGalley. The review herein is completely my own and contains my honest thoughts and opinions.
