Day Shift

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.

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 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.

I feel like Harris is still building her universe for this series which is odd considering it takes place within the universe of all of her other series! But nothing really happened in this book except the introduction (or reintroduction) of several characters, mostly from the Sookie Stackhouse world. There was they mystery of the missing jewelry and what really happened to Rachel Gladstone, but that never felt urgent or like it was the main focus. Maybe because there were just too many things going on at the same time and not much was resolved or revealed.

Enjoyable 2nd installment of this new series. I look forward to the next book!

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.
