About this book

An old family prophecy spoke of a hidden star, and now she’s been found.

Estella Flores Midnight is recently unemployed, on her own and broke. At the darkest point of her life, she discovers that her paternal grandmother is not only living, but that the woman has been searching for her—for years.

If that wasn’t shocking enough, Estella learns that she has three half-sisters as well, and they’ve all invited her to come and stay with them. With nothing to lose, she travels to the historic riverside village of Ames Crossing, Illinois.

A loner by nature, Estella isn’t completely comfortable with the Midnights and their generosity. She’s barely arrived when she discovers a family wedding is days away, and at the reception Estella comes face to face with a man who seems oddly familiar. Chauncey Marquette is a dead ringer for his infamous ancestor Pierre-Michel Marquette.

However, there’s more to the Midnights than meets the eye. Estella can accept and even embrace her family’s wise woman traditions, but unfortunately she has bigger problems. It seems that the past and the present are now running in circles. Dreams, déjà vu, and waking visions begin to plague Estella which forces her in to looking for reasons as to why.

Are the memories of a pair of star-crossed lovers from the 1840’s somehow magickally influencing her actions? All Estella wanted was a chance to make a new life for herself—the past should stay buried where it belongs, but clearly the local ghosts have other ideas.

Ellen Dugan has outdone herself!

May 19, 2019

I read so many paranormal/cozy mystery books and have to say that when I start one of Ellen Dugan’s books I enjoy the quality of the writing. It’s obvious she thoroughly proofreads and researches her books. She is a master weaver of words. I tore through Midnight Star, savoring every word, until I crashed into the end of the book. - “No! What?! No! It can’t be the end of the book! – is the feeling in my heart. I read the beginning of Midnight Secrets last night and can't wait to read more. )

Good book in a good series

This was an enjoyable read. I liked the introduction of someone from outside their smallish town, not just into town but into the Midnight family. The ending was a bit sudden and left me wanting to know what happened next, but the major plot points of this book were wrapped up. It’ll be interesting to see where this series goes now as this book was clearly a turning point that widened its scope beyond a few known characters. ) One person found this helpful

Wonderful Story

September 25, 2019

Estella is the newest member of the Midnight family. She is strong but with areas with which she struggles. If I didn't have to get up for work, I would have read it in one sitting. How she grows over the course of the book is engrossing. How she is integrated into the family is heartwarming. I loved it! ) One person found this helpful
