“First and foremost I’d like thank the amazing folks at NetGalley & Random House publishing for the amazing opportunity of reading this book before its February release date. I am honored and my review is a honest reflection of my feelings towards this book.
This book was a pleasant surprise of a book that winded up being one of my favorite books I’ve read this year. Katherine is an author that I have followed for a while now after I loved her book, To Kill a Shadow.
We meet Wren, a girl who lives in a world that on your 18th birthday you receive a gifted item who’s gifts can range in usability big or small but when her gift doesn’t come she fears she is one of those who is deemed unworthy of one. Unknown to her she had a gift but on its way to her it’s stolen my a thief named Damien. A boy who when he gets her gift, a locket, he is startled to find his picture on inside.
And so sets the stage for a romance between a thief and an upper class girl. Secrets are revealed and the structure of their world is being rewritten. For the good? Nope. This couple is at the core of a power game that will either destroy their love or make it stronger.
I love love loved the banter of Damien and Wren, probably my favorite part outside the gift system that had me intrigued. This book revived a waning interest in YA and I would absolutely recommend this book to lovers of romance, banter and a world that will have you intrigued.”

“Book Review: Stolen Midnights by Katherine Quinn
3.75 ⭐️ | 🚫🌶️ (yummy tension)
Thank you to Netgalley, Katherine Quinn, and Random House Children’s Books for the opportunity to read this novel as an EArc. As a fan of the author this was definitely a treat for me!
This ending has me 😫😫😫, and I’ll definitely be reading the next book. I have questions and would like some answers. I also would like a HEA. Please and thank you.
Katherine Quinn is a master at writing tension and yearning between two characters. From the moment I picked up this book and was introduced to Wren I knew that what I was about to read was going to be a fun and enjoyable ride. One that was filled with tension and intrigue, but was ultimately an easy read.
Wren, who just turned 18, was supposed to receive a gift from the fates (deities that represent Day, Dawn, and Dusk) that would give her magical abilities. However, her path was thwarted by a handsome thief named Damien. Damien quickly discovers that their paths are more intertwined than just the job he was hired to complete. As they try to uncover the mystery behind their connection a more nefarious plot is revealed. The story goes beyond just uncovering the mystery behind Wren‘s gift, but instead is a commentary on the injustices between the rich and the poor. Sounds intriguing, right? You don’t even know the half of it!
Let’s talk characters and their roles. This is a dual POV so we alternate between Wren and Damien’s perspectives. Which adds to their individual character development as they better get to know one another. This is a slow burn but oh so fun read. The tension between Wren and Damien was electric. I found it to be delicious and their banter was kicking feet worthy. Keep in mind this is a YA fantasy romance. So this means no spice and a lot of closed door scenes but honestly, the tension is written so perfectly. You don’t even really miss the spice.
The overall plot was very interesting, and I found that the world building is easy to digest and understand. I think where I struggled was with some of the predictability of the plot. However, there was just as many things that had me going, “Oh my goodness!”I was frustrated with some of the pacing in the book when it came to our main protagonists having a much needed truth based conversation. I understand that it needed to be extended for the plot, but in my mind, I would’ve been happy if it was addressed much sooner. IYKYK what I’m talking about.
I can’t say I am 100% thrilled with the ending. It does contain one of my least favorite tropes and the big bad feels a bit cheesy for me; like evil mustache twirling evil but with no true motive. Though it did come as a slight surprise! I didn’t expect certain reveals and for that I am impressed. I hope in the next book we get to better unpack character motivations and spend some time with the Fates. Until then I’ll just sit here twiddling my thumbs.
Are you looking for an easy read that still has all of your favorite elements of fantasy then the story is definitely for you. Pick it up. Read it. Enjoy it. It’s like fantasy popcorn, not too dense but fills you up nonetheless.
You’ll enjoy this one if you like…
