Midnight Village Books in Order

The Midnight Village series blends Holly Martin’s love of close knit communities with a generous sprinkle of magic. Set in a hidden village called Midnight, tucked away from the everyday world, these books follow modern witches who bake enchanted cakes, battle old curses and fall hopelessly in love.

Midnight is no ordinary village. It is secretive and exclusive, accessible only to those who are invited or who stumble into it at just the right, or wrong, moment. Timber framed houses lean over narrow streets, cauldrons bubble behind shopfronts and animal companions speak their minds. Underneath the charm lies a thirty year old curse that shapes the lives of the people who call Midnight home.

In The Midnight Village we meet Star Brightheart, a baker whose cakes in London come with a dash of hidden magic. A disastrous review from a celebrity food critic, who nearly dies after eating one of her creations, sends her career and confidence crashing. Desperate to disappear, Star flees to Midnight, the one place where she believes no one will find her. There she discovers a town full of witches just like her, a curse that needs lifting, and Wolf Oakwood, the young mayor whose gruff exterior hides a fiercely protective heart.

Star’s journey is as much about belonging as it is about romance. For the first time she is surrounded by people who use their powers openly, from meddling older witches to talking cats, and the village slowly coaxes her into accepting herself. Her relationship with Wolf grows from reluctant housemates into a slow burn connection that challenges both of them to reconsider what they want from life.

Meet Me at Midnight expands the world with a new couple. Iris McKenzie is on a mission to recover a stolen locket that belonged to her grandmother, using magic she has always tried to keep under wraps. Lynx Oakwood, a witch from Midnight and relative of Wolf, is hunting the same locket because he believes it holds dangerous power. Their collision sends Iris into the heart of the village, where she is torn between the future she has glimpsed in prophetic visions and the messy, irresistible reality of falling for someone who is supposed to be her rival.

Across the series Midnight itself is a delight. There are enchanted forests on the edge of town, spellwork woven into everyday life and seasonal celebrations that glow with lanterns and mischief. Martin keeps the tone playful and romantic, but she also explores ideas of fate, free will and whether we can outrun the futures we think are mapped out for us.

Readers who enjoy witchy romcoms, talking animal sidekicks and communities that close ranks around their own will find plenty to love in the Midnight books.
