Twilight meets Thelma and Louise meets Where the Crawdads Sing. * Clare Mackintosh *Dark and seriously addictive * Fanfi Addict *"Where the Crawdads Sing meets Twilight meets Thelma and Louise in this brilliantly realized, totally original thriller. Absolutely sensational... I couldn’t put it down." Clare Mackintosh, New York Times bestselling author "Ashley Winstead shows her versatility and virtuosity as an author in this dark, eerie and completely enchanting book about friendship, love and vengeance. Midnight is the Darkest Hour is as creepy as it gets - and a tearjerker to boot! I loved every minute of it." Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author of Just the Nicest Couple "Winstead delivers another yet multi-layered thriller so nuanced and intricately woven that you absolutely cannot help but race to the end." Amanda Jayatissa, author of You’re Invited "A gothic tale that blurs the line between good and evil, love and revenge, and the inherent desire to please our parents while simultaneously struggling to find ourselves. Midnight is the Darkest Hour is unique and unnerving from beginning to end." Stacy Willingham, New York Times bestselling author of All the Dangerous Things "The sharp-toothed answer to every fairy tale that warns girls to stay out of the woods...because what if we like what we find?

This haunting, twisting story will stay with you long after the last page." Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, author of The Girls Are All So Nice Here "Dark and lyrical...a compelling story about the occult, evil, and the ways religious fundamentalism can overtake reason, it’s also a story about loyalty, friendship and what connects us all at our deepest roots. Once again, Ashley Winstead spins a tale that is equal parts disturbing and redemptive. (And when you’re done reading, please message me so we can talk about that ending!)" Julie Clark, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Flight and The Lies I Tell "An utter triumph, Midnight is the Darkest Hour is Ashley Winstead's most dazzling thriller to date. This is a one-sitting binge read, so cancel all plans and prepare to become completely obsessed with Ruth and Everett and the darkly magical world of Bottom Springs, Louisiana. Twilight meets True Blood meets Colleen Hoover in this completely original, explosive suspense where every line is a poem and every chapter a lyrical symphony. I could not put this book down and haven't been so wholly captured by a story in this way in years." May Cobb, author of A Likeable Woman and The Hunting Wives "Woe unto the preacher's daughter, or at least that's what you might think navigating the dark and broody twists of Ashley Winstead's spellbinding latest, Midnight is the Darkest Hour. Prepare yourself (if you can) for serpents of the Deep South gospel slithering into a beautifully rendered Twilight fever dream... like all of Ashley's incredible books, you won't be able to turn the pages fast enough." Vanessa Lillie, bestselling author of Little Voices and Blood Sisters

Book SynopsisAn unstable beautiful woman is accused of murdering her wealthy husband. She claims she didn't do it. She is not to be trusted. Aidan Collins has his very first large case when his client, Marina Vasiliev, a drop-dead gorgeous mental patient, is accused of killing her wealthy husband. Marina insists that she didn't do it, but Aidan can't trust her. He knows Marina well, too well. After all, he met Marina in the mental hospital - he originally obtained her as a client when she was involuntarily committed, and he assisted her with getting out. Diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, Marina's view of reality shifts from day to day. Moment to moment. Wracked with paranoia, suicidal behavior and mental instability, Marina also admits that she has losses of time - entire days where she has no idea what happened. Marina has no memory of what happened the night that her husband died. Aidan can never be sure if Marina is guilty or not. He makes the decision that the best way to defend her would be to try for the insanity defense. His client is not on board with this decision, and, to make things worse, she begins to imagine him as her lover, which turns his professional relationship with her upside down. It also puts Aidan into danger, both professionally and personally. However, once Aidan gets more into the case, he begins to doubt that his decision to try for the insanity defense was a sound one. Clues lead away from Marina's involvement in her husband's murder. Before long, Aidan feels that his reality is shifting as much as his client. One day, he's convinced that she's guilty. The next, he's convinced that somebody else did it. Aidan can never be sure that he's doing the right thing in using the insanity defense. An 11th hour witness throws his entire trial strategy into disarray. With the lightning pace, twists and turns that you've come to expect from a Rachel Sinclair novel, By Reason of Insanity is a legal thriller that is not to be missed.
