Amelie has always been different.

Most high school students find life challenging, but 17-year old Amelie has a lot more to contend with than typical teenage angst. Ever since she turned 11, others have been irresistibly drawn to her—with tragic consequences. Her only escape is at night when she flies to different times and places through her “dreams”. Her life begins to change when, on one of her flights, she meets Clovis, an alluring and mysterious young man who hides a secret.
As Amelie finds herself increasingly drawn to him, she learns his story, how it intertwines with her own and finally discovers how to live her life in the real world. Until her own secrets are revealed to the wrong people and that world turns upside down.

Bright Midnights is the second in the Limerent Series and continues in the thought-provoking and beautiful style of the first as it considers different dimensions, different ways of looking at the world, and the transcendental power of love.

Excerpt from Bright Midnights

Hudson tried one more time to raise his head and lift the thing in his hands. Everyone in the class just stared at him. The front of Amelie’s forehead suddenly exploded with images, and the lighted words from the cereal box this morning made sense.

“Low. Sugar. Bad.”

“He’s not drunk,” Amelie snapped. “That’s a glucose meter. He’s diabetic.”

Amelie dropped her notebook and ran to the door, falling to her knees beside Hudson. She had a vague notion that this hurt and she would be bruised later, before she grabbed Hudson’s head. She didn’t know if people in insulin shock had seizures or not, but that didn’t matter. She knew what to do. She had been told by something more reliable than memory. Low blood sugar was bad.

What to do? Okay, Elodie had her phone. What else? Jack, he always ate breakfast at his desk. Today it was a bottle of orange juice. Thank god.

“Elodie, call 911—now! Jack, throw me your OJ,” Amelie snapped.

Jack just smirked at her, completely disengaged in the fact that another human being was in crisis. A wave of fury replaced the images in Amelie’s head, making everything around her look shiny, sharp, and red. The world began to move in slow motion. She turned, her eyes met Jack’s, and she let her well-constructed shields drop … just drop. The energy that flowed out of her felt glorious.

“Jack, throw me your OJ, now,” she “softly this time. She saw the shocked look on Jack’s face, but he immediately grabbed the OJ and tossed it to her. The chemical wave that seemed to be her birthright rolled over him, through him, past him, and across the class … person by person, face by face.

My Thoughts on Bright Midnights

Bright Midnights, the second book in L.S. Delorme’s Limerent series, delivers a blend of urban fantasy, emotional depth, and young-adult romance.

The story focuses on Amelie, a 17-year-old girl gifted with a supernatural magnetism that draws people toward her with dangerous consequences. This ability has isolated her, making her yearn for normalcy. Her reality shifts when she meets Clovis, a mysterious figure with a dark secret. Their connection introduces a fresh dynamic that adds a lot to the narrative, blending tension and attraction into a story filled with magical intrigue.

Delorme combines both the fantasy and emotional realms of Amelie’s life into a gripping tale. I found myself absorbed in her struggle to balance the chaotic impact of her gift with her desire for love and acceptance. The author covers some darker aspects of life with tenderness and basic respect that are admirable.

This even-paced story kept me engaged with its mix of character development and supernatural thrills. Fans of young-adult fantasy and romance, especially those who enjoy emotionally charged and relationship-driven narratives, will be drawn into Delorme’s world.

Before picking up this book, I wasn’t familiar with the term limerence. I’ve since researched the term and how it relates to this story. The series’ unique exploration of limerence—obsession, desire, and control—gives Bright Midnights an edge, making it the perfect read for paranormal romance fans.

Overall, Bright Midnights offers readers a thoughtful and thrilling story about love, power, and the consequences of both. However, if you are like me and this is your first venture into LS Delorme’s Limerent series, the book can certainly be enjoyed as a stand-alone tale. That said, I can’t wait to read the first book of the series, and of course, I want to read any future books.

I received a digital copy of the book for a virtual blog tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.
