Midnight Is the Darkest Hour: A Novel
From the critically acclaimed author of In My Dreams I Hold A Knife and The Last Housewife comes a gothic Southern thriller about a killer haunting a small Louisiana town, where two outcasts—the preacher's daughter and the boy from the wrong side of the tracks—hold the key to uncovering the truth.
A dark and powerful novel that is an examination of the ways we’ve come to expect love, religion, and stories to save us, the lengths we have to go to in order to take back power, and the monstrous work of being a girl in this world.

Ashley Winstead's done it again! I swear her thrillers are some of the best I've ever read.
I don't want to give any type of synopsis because I honestly believe going into her books blind is the best way to do it! Please make sure you check the trigger warnings on this one!
I love how dark and twisted Winstead's thrillers are. Parts of this one were a little predictable, but for the most part, I was kept guessing what was going to happen. Make sure you pay careful attention (especially if you're listening to the audiobook) because there are two different timelines.

My only complaint about the narrator was the "southern"/"Louisiana" accent they tried to use. It felt very forced to me and was a little annoying.
Thank you to Ashley Winstead, NetGalley and Tantor Audio for this ALC in exchange for my honest review.

Gothic thriller murder mystery set in Louisiana. Lots of god fearing loonies and strong female protagonist. Ending was disappointing.
This book disappointed me alot... It's a slow read, which after a point gets boring because the story is not moving ahead just moving around the same thing!!
Well I finished it. Probably my least favorite book from Ashley Winstead. Some parts were just absolutely ridiculous. The Twilight references almost made me DNF. Reminded me of Colleen Hoover and her letters to Ellen.
