Under The Midnight Sky

UNDER THE MIDNIGHT SKY is the first instalment in Jackie Steele’s contemporary, adult, romantic suspense series focusing on twenty-four year old Anastasia Hartford, and Dr. Josh McMillan.

Told from first person perspective (Anastasia) UNDER THE MIDNIGHT SKY focuses on twenty-four year old Brooklyn native Anastasia Hartford. Anastasia Hartford has no memories of her past. A tragic and fatal car accident claimed the life of her parents, leaving our heroine with amnesia. A series of threatening letters from an anonymous source forces Ana to be more vigilant but a visit from a attorney informs Anastasia she is the sole heir to her great aunt’s Scottish estate. With nothing and no one holding her back, and the opportunity to escape the threatening letters, our heroine heads to Scotland, in the hopes of discovering something about her past. Her closest neighbor is Dr. Josh McMillan, a physician who practices in Chicago, and a man who interests our story line heroine. As Ana begins to navigate her new world and the people in it, small clues point to something else going on.

UNDER THE MIDNIGHT SKY follows Anastasia as she slowly learns a little bit about the new people in her life yet the familiarity of the area and her great aunt’s estate makes our heroine ponder about what really happened in the past. Leaving her friends behind, Ana begins to wonder if the threats in NYC will follow her to Scotland, threats that have continued since she’s been gone.

UNDER THE MIDNIGHT SKY is a story of love and loss, grief and absence, secrets, lies and suspense. The premise is intriguing, entertaining and intense but I suspect I know where the story line is heading ; the characters are edgy and lost; the romance has barely begun. UNDER THE MIDNIGHT SKY ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

A book that keeps you wanting more suspense. A cliffhanger that leaves you saying nooo.. what? So many questions to be answered. This was my first book by this author and it has left me wanting more. More of Josh and Anastasia’s story, but more answers.
“It’s only when we see the darkness that we can appreciate the stars.”
I can not wait for the next book.
