Product Description

Product Description
The Midnighters of Bixby, Oklahoma, know that their town is full of secrets - especially since they keep the biggest secret of all: knowledge of the secret hour, the mysterious time at midnight when the world freezes, except for them and the creatures that inhabit the darkness. What they don't know is why earlier generations of Midnighters all disappeared, or why they are now the only Midnighters in town. As they learn more about the secret hour's twists and turns, they uncover terrifying mysteries woven into the very fabric of Bixby's history, and a conspiracy that touches both the midnight hour and the world of daylight. At the same time, the Midnighters' own secrets start to emerge, including some that were never meant to come to light, changing the fragile dynamics among the five. This time Jessica Day is not the only Midnighter in mortal danger. If the group can't find a way to overcome their differences, they could lose one of their own - forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another masterpiece!, 25 Aug 2007
By M. Ivanova "i_am_she_wolf" (London, uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Book 2 about our midnighters and the fight is getting more and more dangerous!
There are real dangers that kids are facing, and this time it's not only slithers and darklings, it's humans too, the ones that have no business in blue hour. Now every night is real possibilities that one of them will not be back.
And there may be someone from way before their time still surviving on the town..
Another amazing book from Westerfeld!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read, 9 Jul 2007
By A. Shala "bookaHolic" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
All the midnighters books really did have me griped, once i finished the first volume i went straight to the second one and then the third one!
Its a great book because you dont only get to see everything from one of the protagonist point of view or propspetive but from all of them which i thought was really good, and very well written! i highly recommend that people should read it! it really will get you reading until you finish it! lol

5.0 out of 5 stars Touching darkness, a thrilling read, 12 Mar 2007
By R. Earl "dragongirl" (Bedfordshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book had me gripped till the end, had some really suspensful moments in it where i couldn't stop reading because i was desperate to find out what happens and how they get round everything. When Rex - the Seer and leader of the Midnighters, gets kidnapped to be turned into a half-darkling, it made my breath catch and i couldn't put it down, i had to find out how they would save him or if they (the other midnighters) could save him, i won't spoil it by telling you the outcome, but i do strongly recommend this book, it isn't really scary but does have some heart stopping moments, one of my favourite books now! try it!
