Riassunto

The first book in Charlaine Harris's bestselling paranormal mystery series about a small town where only outsiders fit in - now adapted into major TV series Midnight, Texas on SyFy UK

From Charlaine Harris, the bestselling author who created Sookie Stackhouse, the world of Bon Temps, Louisiana, comes a new, darker world - 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...

Recensione:

Midnight Crossroad Sparkles (SFX)

A promising start to a new series...once you've entered, you'll never leave (Sci-Fi Now)

All of Harris' trademarks are present - charm and wit, pacy storytelling and likeable characters (We Love This Book)

Midnight Crossroad - featuring an oddball cast including a witch, a vampire and a talking cat - soon has you under its spell (THE SUN)

A gently paced mystery with a supernatural slant, populated by endearing, varied and well-constructed characters....Definitely recommend (Civilian Reader)

A slow burning novel which successfully juggles setting the scene for an ongoing series with a self-contained story. (Sci-Fi Bulletin)

I can see many nights being lost to the wonder of Midnight. 4 /5 (Backwards Compatible)

Fans might be sad to say good-bye to Sookie, but they'll be so intrigued by the denizens of Midnight they won't have time to mourn. (A Knife and a Quill)

Midnight Crossroad is another compelling book by Charlaine Harris. I love her storytelling style and the wonderful characters she creates (Following the Nerd)

I was blown away by Midnight Crossroad. It's a wholly immersive, stunningly written adventure that I couldn't put down. The characters are spot on and unforgettable, the plot is exciting - the only negative thing is that I have to (very impatiently) wait for book two!!! (Carly Bennett Blogspot)
