A man drives to the crossroads in Midnight, TX and shoots himself. The locals can't figure it out. A vampire, Lemuel, tells his group of confidants that the man was not the first suicide. But, it takes a woman almost killing herself with a ceremonial dagger to seal the final nail on the coffin.

All the while Lemuel, the vampire from earlier, is left trying to decipher an ancient book written in an unknown language, and a local witch is hearing a voice talk to her. The locals must figure out what is happening before more people die, releasing untold horrors onto the town.

Midnight, TX sounds like a great place to live. It is a town with people who are slightly stranger than those around them. A witch, a vampire, shaman, psychic, and many more interesting folk. They don't ask many questions and they fiercely protect their own. You couldn't find a better group of "people."

Reading of stories of Midnight, TX you immediately are able to see the town and the people, and fall right into their lives. That is just the way Charlaine Harris writes, she creates a world and you can't help but become part of it.

NIGHT SHIFT does not fail to deliver you right into the town and world Harris has created or keep you fascinated by the people and their lives. NIGHT SHIFT is a supernatural world alive in such a natural way. You will love NIGHT SHIFT and everyone in it.
