Book Synopsis

Take a trip to the small Texas town where only outsiders fit in with the first novel in #1 New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris’ paranormal mystery series.

Welcome to Midnight, Texas, a town with many boarded-up windows and few full-time inhabitants, located at the crossing of Witch Light Road and the Davy highway. It’s a pretty standard dried-up western town.

There’s a pawnshop with three residents. One is seen only at night. There’s a diner, but people stopping there tend not to linger. There’s a newcomer, Manfred Bernardo, who just wants to work hard and blend in. But Manfred has secrets of his own...

    This is an interesting book. I would place it in a mystery with a paranormal slant. Bobo is the main character and it starts off in the book with Audrey disappearing and then found dead. You will meet a witch, an unusual psychic, a vampire, an unusual minister and some other citizens of Midnight. You will learn about the right wing extremists group looking for some guns supposedly belong to Bobo’s late grandfather. With missing members of the group and plot twists you will find the killer an unexpected person and the resolution for the mysterious guns surprising! Read this unusual book because it was very good and you will enjoy it.
  • A fine book for a long quiet day

    I’ve read Charlaine Harris before (her Southern Vampire Mysteries), so when this popped up as a suggestion, I was intrigued, especially when I saw that they’ve made a TV series of the work. Overall, I was pleased by the story and the characters, both of which reminded me of what Stephen King does with small towns (Castle Rock, Derry, etc.). Some of the other reviews complained about the slow pace, but I prefer to think of it as “deliberate.” Ms. Harris is setting up her characters for the long haul and not every secret has been revealed yet. Anyway, I will probably be buying the sequel tonight.

    The characters seemed really underdeveloped. I watched the TV series first, so that helped some. Had I read the book first I probably wouldn’t have finished it.

    Well, my dear, you've done it again! Another great start to a series. The characters rich, the story good, and I love the way you have woven characters from other books into this one.

    Kind of disappointing read. Was excited to see a new book by this author, but honesty this took me a long time to get through it. Definitely not a page turner. Characters were somewhat interesting, but plot was weak and not enough suspense or twists to keep my attention for more than 5-6 pages at a time. I normally read a good book in less than a week and this one took over a month. Sorry.

    Looking forward to the world of Midnight continuing! Story and characters got better as the book progressed and I ended the read with a smile.

    I have loved Charlaine Harris books but this one is not a fave. I have been working on it for over a week and I just wish it was over already. It is slow and I just can not connect with the characters. If your expecting a page turner like her previous series you will be sadly disappointed.
  • Had a hard time finishing.

    I'm a fan but this was shallow, slow and dull without a point. Did not enjoy this book.

    Can't wait for the next book in this new series! Loved the characters, the setting, and the plot. The story had an "Odd Thomas" (Dean Koontz) kinda feel to it, which is a very good thing!
  • Great read!!!

    One of the best reads in a long time. Going to be hard waiting for the next in the series. Best set of characters in the best setting ever.
