A child of two worlds - belonging to neither, dangerous to both.
All Kisaki really wants is to belong somewhere, but there are few places half demons can safely call home. Raised in isolation within the celestial palace, she longs to escape and explore the strange planet below - Earth. So when an opportunity presents itself, she takes it, inadvertently stealing her mother's greatest treasure in the process - the Blade of Heaven.
Exploring a whole new world is terrifying enough, but hot on her heels is her so-called guardian, the tiger-spirit Shitoro. If he catches her, he'll drag her straight back home. She thinks it's to punish her. But in actuality it's to save her.
She doesn't know it yet, but there's a very good reason Kisaki has been kept hidden away. Half-breeds such as her are not tolerated by the demon lords. If they find her, they'll stop at nothing to take the blade and use it to erase Kisaki, her mother, and everyone she cares about from existence.
A new adult urban fantasy.
Midnite's Daughter is book one of the Midnight Girl Saga, a manga inspired fantasy series by Rick Gualtieri - author of Bill the Vampire.

Then, there was a change (no spoilers) and the storytelling became a little more light-hearted and the main character developed into a relatable and likable protagonist. She gained friends and enemies, and learned much about herself as the book progressed.
I felt like the narrator did a fantastic job.
I hope that Rick continues the story of Midnite Girl, as I’m curious what happened next.
A little different from Rick Gualtieri’s other books, still very enjoyable.

This one takes a bit of time to adjust to the style but worth it.

Here in Midnite's Daughter, the overall story was a little predictable but not unpleasant. I could hear "Vampire Bill" similarities in the character development. Kisaki had the Bill Ryder rashness with Sheila "Shining One" self doubt. There were no big guffaws, like in Vampire Bill, but the characters were mildly likable. My son, who read all of Vampire Bill with me, recently finished his 4th year of Japanese and when listening to the story he questioned some of the phrasing and use of words that were supposed to be Japanese-like. But, he, like myself, hung in there to finish the story.
I'd say overall, this is an okay, beach, or at the pool read. I used it for my morning walk with the dog. Kept me listening and not focused on how far or how fast I was walking. Not deep, not intriguing, not revelatory, just a "keep you engaged" read.
Tess Irondale was solid as ever. Her reading in "Shining Fury" was good and so was this reading with her ability to create excitement and drama and embarrassment and wisdom all in her voice. I enjoyed her performance as the last reading.
Mr. Gualtieri created a new world with a new twist in BigFoot Hunters and in The Tomb of Bill series. Midnite's Daughter didn't create that same newness. It was, as my son says, Meh.
Midnite's Daughter - Meh
