FIRST IN A NEW TRILOGY
From Charlaine Harris, the bestselling author who created Sookie Stackhouse and her world of Bon Temps, Louisiana, comes a darker locale—populated by more strangers than friends. But then, that’s how the locals prefer it…
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 Davy Road. It’s a pretty standard dried-up western town.
There’s a pawnshop (someone lives in the basement and is seen only at night). There’s a diner (people who are just passing through tend not to linger). And there’s new resident Manfred Bernardo, who thinks he’s found the perfect place to work in private (and who has secrets of his own).
Stop at the one traffic light in town, and everything looks normal. Stay awhile, and learn the truth...
***SPOILER ALERT* Possibly***
I love Charlaine's writings. They are always intriguing and easy to follow. AS for Midnight Crossroad, well it took me 2 chapters to figure out what the heck was going on. So much descriptive information over-loaded me. I'm still not sure what all the characters look like at this point, I'll have to read it a second time to figure that out. As for the story line, it's awesome. I love it when reading a book I'm not sure what will happen or who will end up with how. This is definitely one of those. As you get to know the characters, especially Fiji for me, you start to understand why he few residents are living in basically a ghost town. You will fall in love with one of the residents, I know I have and it's not the newcomer Manfred either.
If you like witches, vampires, unknown reasons for hiding and possibly a shifter then this may be the book for you. Give it a chance through the first few chapters, do NOT put it down. It will all make sense and you will be glad you finished it. If I stayed up til 3am to finish it, it's worth the read.
