Critics Review
‘Set in a world that mixes all the best elements of witches and vampires, The Witch in the Dead of Night is a novel filled with romance and intrigue. However, it is the question of power—who holds the most and will they hold onto it—that will keep readers turning the pages long into … the dead of night’ —Lindsey Olsson, author of To Drown a Witch
‘For anyone torn between Stefan and Damon Salvatore … A dark, smouldering story that burns to a furious finish, The Witch in the Dead of Night is peak romantasy. Featuring courtly politics, slow-burn courtships, and a love triangle with bloodsucking brothers, this is a gloriously enjoyable start to a trilogy’ —Lissa Layland, author of Thunderstruck
‘A compelling exploration of power and intimacy that keeps the reader tethered to the electric dance between Finn and the Hellebore brothers. Bespelling, high-stakes, and rife with courtly intrigue, The Witch in the Dead of Night had me burning midnight oil and will, doubtless, inspire the same fervour in readers’ —Shalini Abeysekara, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of This Monster of Mine and This Blade of Ours
‘Seductive and richly imagined, The Witch in the Dead of Night is an outstanding debut. With a torturously steamy love triangle and razor-sharp intrigue, this is romantasy at its most addictive. Buckley has crafted an enthralling tale which drips with magic and shadows, and will stay with its reader long after the final page’ — Emily Cooper, author of Season of Fear
‘Vampires, witches and a whole host of political intrigue: say less. Throw in a complicated love triangle, and you’ve got yourself a winner. A magical romantasy debut’ —Ellis Hunter, author of Blood Bound
