MY REVIEW
This is the first book in the Midnighters trilogy. I happen to really like this book. It has an original plot,likeable characters, it was a fast and easy read. In the town of Bixby, Oklahoma there are two types of people, Daylight people and the Midnighters. The Midnighters are a speacial group of people who can move around at the 25th hour(there are 25 hours in this world) of the day at midnight for an hour while time and everyone but them are frozen . It's a time where creatures called darklings and slithers come out. One day a new girl named Jessica moves to town and learns of the Midnighters and their world when she is chased and almost killed by a darkling. There's something special about Jessica and the Darklings want her gone. I suggest this book to anyone who really loves to read
