From BooklistHarris comes off the ending of her wildly popular Sookie Stackouse series with a new mystery-romance-paranormal mash-up, slated as the first in a planned trilogy. The inhabitants of Midnight, Texas, have all chosen the derelict little town for its size and its quietnessits a great place to hide. But what are they hiding from? Bobo Winthrop, proprietor of the local pawn shop, seems to know a little bit about everyone in town, and they all have secrets. The new tenant in the basement of the pawn shop only comes out after dark, while New Age instructor Fiji Cavanaugh openly claims to be a witch and can talk to her cat, Mr. Snuggly. When Bobos girlfriend, Aubrey, disappears, people start to ask too many questions, and everyone begins to fear that their pasts will be exposed, along with Aubreys. Although its much lighter on the paranormal elements than Harris usual fare, this should still make the lists of readers who miss Sookie and company.

I do want to say when i was buying the kindle version it said length was '2 ' pages, i knew this was probably an error , BUT I have been fooled before thinking I'm paying for a full length novel and have gotten a 50 page novella. If anyone else seen this and was wondering, yes it's a full novel ( not sure exact number of pages) yes 2 pages is a typo. Hope this helps if someone else was wondering.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

I'm a big fan of Charlaine Harris and am excited to see an expansion of her previous universes. I like the mythos, but am glad the show embraced some different choices in the cast.
