Handsome, acrobatic Jonathan Martinez could be Jessica’s favorite, but he could also get her into the most trouble. There is another Midnighter in town who doesn’t hang out with this trio. Dess is a polymath who specializes in crafting weapons to guard against the shape-changing slithers and darklings that lurk in the blue time, weapons based on the old ones’ terror of steel and the number 13. Melissa is a mindcaster who can taste the thoughts and feelings of everyone around her she finds it hard to function in crowds, and cannot bear to be touched. Rex is a seer who can spot anyone and anything touched by the midnight hour he reads the ancient lore left behind by the seers of yore. Not coincidentally, they have other powers as well. For one hour, the world is filled with an eerie blue light and ancient, evil creatures stir: an hour that passes like an instant for the rest of the world. Every night at precisely midnight, time stops in Bixby, Oklahoma. Rex, Melissa, and Dess share a spooky secret. Even before she knows it herself, this normal, bright, vivacious girl has a destiny in a strange, dark world known only by a handful of teenagers. They call themselves the Midnighters, and they have spotted Jessica as one of their own. On her first day at Bixby High School, she attracts the notice of three weird kids who dress in goth clothing. Jessica Day has just moved from Chicago to the small town of Bixby, Oklahoma.
