In the first of a brand-new series set in Victorian England, a young woman returns home from India after the death of her family to discover her identity and inheritance are challenged by the man who holds her future in his hands.Rebecca Ravenshaw, daughter of missionaries, spent most of her life in India. Following the death of her family in the Indian Mutiny, Rebecca returns to claim her family estate in Hampshire, England. Upon her return, people are surprised to see her...and highly suspicious. Less than a year earlier, an imposter had arrived with an Indian servant and assumed not only Rebecca's name, but her home and incomes. That pretender died within months of her arrival; the servant fled to London as the young woman was hastily buried at midnight. The locals believe that perhaps she, Rebecca, is the real imposter. Her home and her father's investments reverted to a distant relative, the darkly charming Captain Luke Whitfield, who quickly took over. Against her best intentions, Rebecca begins to fall in love with Luke, but she is forced to question his motives—does he love her or does he just want Headbourne House? If Luke is simply after the property, as everyone suspects, will she suffer a similar fate as the first “Rebecca”? A captivating Gothic love story set against a backdrop of intrigue and danger, Mist of Midnight will leave you breathless.

I have enjoyed everything she has written, from the French Twist Series to the Ladies in Waiting books. There is a different flavor to each series, but Sandra brings the same passion and zest to every story she undertakes and I love it. I was really looking forward to reading Mist.To be honest, I was a bit apprehensive when I started the book, because it was SO different from what I am used to reading, and really, from anything that is out there right now. I honestly couldn't decide if I liked it or not.But I couldn't stop reading. And the deeper I got into the story, the more I began to find the rythym and flow of the words. I found the flavor of the story- and I remembered other books I enjoyed with a similar feel.Mist of Midnight is mysterious without being dark. There are clues dropped along the way for you to discover, but they leave you with more questions than answers. I did feel the ending was a bit rushed, with the truth finally being told almost at the last moment. Mist really reminded me of Bleak House by Dickens- as a reader you know more is going on, but what is truth? And who is telling it? These questions keep the pages turning. I loved the details about India- and the way Sandra tied the two worlds together.Mist of Midnight is different. But it's a kind of different that is needed in a market filled with so much of the same. I enjoyed the book, and the reminder of books-gone-by that it stirred in me.I recommend for fans of Jane Eyre & Victoria Holt books.
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. A real page turner! A beautiful Gothic love story! By Nicole Laverdure I love Gothic love stories! Mist of Midnight was perfect for me! This novel is the first one in Sandra Byrd's new series Daughters of Hampshire. It's a real page turner, it kept me sitting at the edge of my seat until the last pages. If I could resume it in three words, they would be betrayal, trust and love. Ms. Byrd, slowly built up the suspense to keep my interest! I loved her main characters Rebecca and Luke! The story starts as, a young woman returns home from India after the death of her family to discover her identity and inheritance are challenged by the man who holds her future in his hands. Rebecca Ravenshaw, daughter of missionaries, spent most of her life in India and is returning home only to find out that Captain Luke Whitfield is residing there. She, now, has to prove her identity to everyone to be able to fully access her heritage. Will she be able to trust Luke? Is he the man he pretends to be? Who has betrayed her and her family? Who was the imposter? Will she find out the truth? Will love be in the air for these two strangers? This story is set in Victorian England! I really enjoyed this captivating Gothic suspense! Sandra Byrd was a new author for me, but, now, after having read Mist of Midnight, I will surely watch for her next book! To be released on March 10th. I received a free copy from NetGalley and Howard Books, in exchange for an honest review.
7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Mist of Midnight By Erin Davies Author Sandra Byrd has been in my tbr for a while and though I own two of her earlier novels, Mist of Midnight marks my first taste of her work and I'm happy to report I found the experience quite enjoyable.First and foremost, I really liked how Byrd used identity theft in the context of this story. I'm used to seeing 19th century murder mysteries and I thought impersonation a fun and refreshing departure from that norm. The pacing was a little slow for me personally and I predicted the ending long before the final page, but I liked how Byrd cast suspicion on multiple characters and how she played with ambiguity over the course of narrative.Mist of Midnight is marketed as Christian lit, but Byrd's religious themes are subtle at best and she never allows faith to overwhelm the story. She's not at all preachy and that really appealed to me as a reader. I was also drawn to the blend of culture she incorporated in the fabric of the novel and the contrast she illustrated between Rebecca's life in India and her efforts to find her place in England.Though set in different eras, I think Mist of Midnight makes a nice companion to The Masque of a Murderer by Susanna Calkins and would easily recommend its author alongside Julie Klassen and Roseanna M. White.
