The Midnighters Series by Scott Westerfeld

by Greg on April 9, 2011

A midnighter is a person who can move about during a special 25th hour — the hour after midnight — and has special abilities within that time period.

So far there had only been four, but with the arrival of Jessica Day, the number increases to five.

The danger increases also as the Darklings want to stop the midnighters — at any cost.
