From the author of The Wicked Heart and The Immortal comes a beautiful and haunting novel about a group of five terminally ill teenagers whose midnight stories become their reality. Rotterham Home was a hospice for young people—a place where teenagers with terminal illnesses went to die. Nobody who checked in ever checked out. It was a place of pain and sorrow, but also, remarkably, a place of humor and adventure. Every night at twelve, a group of young guys and girls at the hospice came together to tell stories.

 This group of hospice teens are shouldering the heaviest of burdens. The stories they tell are actually creative and enjoyable. I never read a book by Christopher Pike and so Happy this was my 1st one. Can't wait to read more.

This is 90s YA paranormal. I love it, but before you pick this up know what you are getting.

This isn't my favorite Christopher Pike book. The chatacters are great. The setting a bit unrealistic, but again 90s YA. It is more theological than I expected. That's both good and bad.
