"There is no such thing as bad publicity, except in Midnight, Texas, where the residents like to keep to themselves. Even in a town full of secretive people, Olivia Charity is an enigma. She lives with the vampire Lemuel, but no one knows what she does; they only know that she's beautiful and dangerous. Psychic Manfred Bernardo finds out just how dangerous when he goes on a working weekend to Dallas and sees Olivia there with a couple who are both found dead the next day. To make matters worse, one of Manfred's regular and very wealthy clients dies during a reading. Manfred returns from Dallas embroiled in scandal and hounded by the press. He turns to Olivia for help; somehow he knows that the mysterious Olivia can get things back to normal. As normal as things get in Midnight"--

I enjoyed this even more than the first. Charlaine Harris is bringing some of the side characters from Sookie Stackhouse books into this small town in Texas named Midnight which I really enjoyed. You don't have to have read them to understand what is going on though. Lots of paranormal characters in this weird little town including a talking cat.
Just realized I have more than 40 series I'm not caught up on, so decided to try to catch up on a few...
I love this series! One of my favorite series of all time was Sookie Stackhouse. So I gave this series a try, and, while completely different, I still love it. I also enjoy when some of the characters from the Sookie series stop by Midnight.
I enjoyed this more than the first Midnight book, and that one was a great read. We find out a bit more about a couple of the existing people in Midnight, and there are some new arrivals, including some old friends if you have read her previous books. The range of characters is much wider than in many paranormal stories, more complex, and not all either goodies or baddies. I'm not sure what the blurb on the back of the midnight books means by saying they are darker than the Sookie stories as I don't they have been yet. Dark enough for me though. Looking forward to the next one.
