A riveting tale with an intriguing twist

As the pages turned on Delta County and the Summer of '99, both Heather Matthews and Quinn Harstead faced pivotal moments. Heather confronted an uncertain fate. Meanwhile, Quinn unearthed secrets tied to a decades-old mystery. Their paths converge when Quinn pens a bestselling tale of Heather's tumultuous life in Delta County. Yet, just as they settle into a semblance of normalcy, a string of deaths grips their small town, suggesting a sinister presence with intimate knowledge of their lives. Will they unmask the perpetrator before more lives are claimed by this elusive killer? 1. **Plot and Storytelling:** 4.5/5 - The storytelling and multiple points of view are highly entertaining, with an engaging plot. However, there's a deduction of 0.5 points due to the necessity of reading the previous books for full comprehension, which is not clearly indicated when you go to buy them online (ex. Amazon). 2. **Characterization:** 5/5 - The characters are enjoyable with their growth, evolution, and realism throughout the book. 3. **Writing Style:** 5/5 - JL Hyde's writing style is commendable for its pacing and ability to maintain suspense while providing sufficient detail. 4. **Originality:** 4/5 - This book, for the most part, was unlike anything I’ve read before. It was a fresh take on a concept that I’ve encountered before. 5. **Emotional Impact and Resolution:** 4/5 - The book successfully resonates emotionally and keeps the reader invested, but there's a deduction of 1 point due to the loose setup for a sequel, which leaves the ending feeling unresolved. Overall Rating: 4.5/5 - The book receives high marks across all categories, with minor deductions for the necessity of previous book knowledge and a slightly loose ending. If you enjoyed “Midnight in Delta County” I recommend “The Night Swim” by Megan Goldin - A gripping thriller with multiple perspectives and a strong narrative voice.
