Night for Day by Roselle Lim

 Book Excerpt:

"Two people destined to be together but to never see each other again fight against the most incredible odds in this powerful and moving fantasy novel by critically acclaimed author Roselle Lim.

Exes Ward Dunbar and Camille Buhay thought they would never see each other again. They had broken up to pursue their dream jobs on opposite sides of the country—her to New York City and him to Los Angeles. But years later, they unexpectedly reconnect in London, where they are interviewing for similar jobs. The spark they feel when they meet again is palpable—the attraction comes back like muscle memory, reminding them of what they had lost. When Ward and Camille discover they both got the job working opposing shifts, they vow to give their relationship another try.

Ward starts the day shift and finds the immortal clientele unusual and dazzling. When he clocks out at the end of the day, he finds the door locked and himself trapped in the building. After a horrific first night shift contending with restless spirits and ghosts, Camille is also unable to escape. In their respective prisons, they discover they can talk to each other a few minutes before dawn. This fleeting encounter incites longing for each other, but their promise to be together feels impossible. Because they are caught in a war of the gods, their choices will determine the outcome."

Review:
'Night for Day' by Roselle Lim

Interesting Read:

'Night for Day' was quite a different kind of read for a romance in a fantasy world. The reader must keep up as the story goes back and forth with the two main characters...Camille and Ward are in their second-chance romance. These two seemed to be in an alternate reality that dealt with 'pawns in a war of the gods.' If you are not into fantasy, this may not be your kind of read because I had to work hard and understand what was happening. Still, by the end, I received many of the questions I had answered from "immortality, gods, goddesses, mythology, escape rooms, romantic, spirits, ghosts, and all the in-between," which was quite a lot from this story. This read may have worked more for me if it had been a series because there is so much going on.

If you are into fantasy romance, then 'Night for Day' is probably your kind of read.
