The Midnight Feast: A Novel: A Thrilling Psychological Thriller
The Midnight Feast is a story told in different perspectives by its main characters—Francesca, Bella, Owen, and Eddie. The story takes place in both 2010 and before, during and after a present day Summer Solstice.
Francesca comes from a wealthy family and has just inherited The Manor which she has turned in to a hot spot for young adults who want a lavish vacation in the woods without actually camping. Her husband, Owen, a renowned architect, was hired to design the newly built structures to house guests. Bella is a guest who has a secret agenda. And Eddie is connected to The Manor in more ways than one.
As the Solstice appears and Bella recalls The Birds and the eery feeling of the woods, she knows that she must stay strong and stand up to her tormentor. When the past catches up, all will be revealed.
Although I liked the story and the descriptiveness of the setting, this book dragged on for a long time before it tells you what is really going on. I had to put this book down several times because it made me want to fall asleep. There were so many unnecessary parts, ones that were redundant, and I felt that if the cadence had moved on a bit quicker, the twists at the end would have had a much better effect.
