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.
The follow up to Midnight Crossroad, DAY SHIFT picks up
where the first left off. While some of Ms. Harris' works
allow room for catch up, I highly recommend you pick up
the first book in the series. The backstory of this small
little town is crucial, IMO, to falling in love with this
amazing series.
Expect some surprise appearances (that's all I will
say!), so avid readers will enjoy the subtle add in of
unexpected pop ins through out this book.
Readers agreed it would be hard to follow up the Sookie
series, but I've fallen in love with this town. I highly
recommend it to those that adore the paranormal genre as
I am confident you will fall in love with the town too.
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
