The residents of Midnight, Texas like their sleepy
little town where everyone has secrets. Will some of
those secrets be exposed or will the residents band
together to keep their town safe from outside eyes
prying?
Psychic Manfred Bernado has scheduled a weekend of face
to face readings at an upscale hotel in Dallas.
Unfortunately, things go seriously awry when one of his
clients dies. Meanwhile, another resident of Midnight,
Olivia Charity, is also in Dallas for the weekend. Now,
Manfred and Olivia will have to work together if they
hope to keep the spotlight off of their hometown of
Midnight.
DAY SHIFT is the second book in the Midnight,
Texas series and I definitely suggest reading the
books in order. Familiarity with some of Charlaine
Harris' other works also helps but is not necessary to
appreciate the storyline. I was initially a little
hesitant about whether to continue this series as I
struggled a bit with the first book while being a total
fangirl for the Sookie Stackhouse books. I'm so thankful
I gave Charlaine Harris another shot, however, as I'm
officially hooked on the characters and the town after
reading DAY SHIFT- and even enjoyed a rereading of the
first book.
DAY SHIFT continues to feature Manfred as the main
character but we get to spend a lot more time with the
oh-so-mysterious Olivia. The characters are truly the
heart of this series and I love the new revelations we
get about the various residents of Midnight. Charlaine
Harris continues to slowly unveil tiny tidbits that only
leave me ready for the next book! I don't want to reveal
spoilers but my inner fangirl squealed with delight over
a couple moments in DAY SHIFT.
DAY SHIFT is the sort of book I want to revisit, again
and again, as the town of Midnight has so many hidden
layers. Charlaine Harris is a master at incorporating
southern charm and sheer zaniness together and making it
quite believable. I can't wait to see what is in store
next for the residents of Midnight, Texas!
In Midnight Crossroad, Charlaine Harris “capture[d]
the same magic as the world of Bon Temps, Louisiana, and
[took] it to another level" (Houston Press). Now
the
#1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sookie
Stackhouse novels returns to the one-traffic-light town
you
see only when you’re on the way to someplace
else…
There is no such thing as bad publicity,
except in Midnight, Texas, where the residents like to
keep
to themselves. Even in a town full of secretive people,
Olivia Charity is an enigma. She lives with the vampire
Lemuel, but no one knows what she does; they only know
that
she’s beautiful and dangerous.
Psychic Manfred
Bernardo finds out just how dangerous when he goes on a
working weekend to Dallas and sees Olivia there with a
couple who are both found dead the next day. To make
matters
worse, one of Manfred’s regular—and very wealthy—clients
dies during a reading.
Manfred returns from Dallas
embroiled in scandal and hounded by the press. He turns to
Olivia for help; somehow he knows that the mysterious
Olivia
can get things back to normal. As normal as things get in
Midnight…
