Midnight's Budding Morrow

4.5 stars

An intense story with a bad-boy hero and a lot of sickness. There are some truly heartbreaking scenes and James does deal with alcoholism. I appreciated that most of the scenes were chaste but some did show death etc, so it would probably be best for older teens instead of preteens.


Most of all I enjoyed the strong Christian message of the book and how characters learn to deal with their shortcomings by prayer or turning to the Bible or the pastor.
