Get ready for the new drama Midnight, Texas on SyFy UK from July 27th with the first book in Charlaine Harris's bestselling paranormal mystery series about a small town where only outsiders fit in . . .

From Charlaine Harris, the bestselling author who created Sookie Stackhouse the world of Bon Temps, Louisiana, comes a new, darker world - populated by more strangers than friends. But then, that's how the locals prefer it?

Welcome to Midnight, Texas, a town with many boarded-up windows and few full-time inhabitants, located at the crossing of Witch Light Road and Davy Road. It's a pretty standard dried-up western town.

There's a pawnshop (someone lives in the basement and is seen only at night). There's a diner (people who are just passing through tend not to linger). And there's new resident Manfred Bernardo, who thinks he's found the perfect place to work in private (and who has secrets of his own).

Stop at the one traffic light in town, and everything looks normal. Stay awhile, and learn the truth . . .

Critic Reviews

Midnight Crossroad Sparkles
A promising start to a new series...once you've entered, you'll never leave
All of Harris' trademarks are present - charm and wit, pacy storytelling and likeable characters
Midnight Crossroad - featuring an oddball cast including a witch, a vampire and a talking cat - soon has you under its spell
A gently paced mystery with a supernatural slant, populated by endearing, varied and well-constructed characters....Definitely recommend
A slow burning novel which successfully juggles setting the scene for an ongoing series with a self-contained story.
I can see many nights being lost to the wonder of Midnight. 4 /5
Fans might be sad to say good-bye to Sookie, but they'll be so intrigued by the denizens of Midnight they won't have time to mourn.
Midnight Crossroad is another compelling book by Charlaine Harris. I love her storytelling style and the wonderful characters she creates
I was blown away by Midnight Crossroad. It's a wholly immersive, stunningly written adventure that I couldn't put down. The characters are spot on and unforgettable, the plot is exciting - the only negative thing is that I have to (very impatiently) wait for book two!!!
The inclusion of a mystery that starts simply and then winds out of control so that no one can be trusted makes this is a blast to read. Everyone is your friend in Midnight, but you don't know everything about anyone. I can't wait for Midnight to come again. Overall grade: A
If you have read anything by Charlaine Harris I can guarantee you won't be disappointed. If you haven't read anything by Charlaine Harris, then Midnight Crossroad might be the book to get you started.
This gentle mystery shows an author confident in her writing and perhaps heralds the arrival of the best stage of her work - one where she writes primarily because of the sheer love for writing. An excellent read.
The characters are fascinating, the world she created is very intriguing and there is SO MUCH mystery ... so much, in fast, that you just HAVE to relocate from Bon Temps to Midnight, Texas.
A sinster read for lovers of the vampire series to get their teeth into
A pleasurable and enjoyable read...I can't honestly wait for my my next visit to Midnight
It's fun, a page turner that you'll romp through in no time
Midnight Crossroad is an unforgettable kick-start to a fresh and very exciting new series
Harris is back with a vengeance!
This book appears to have it all
It's clear from the start that this is an author at the peak of their ability.
If you like your soap-opera with fangs and magic, then this will delight you.
An excellent start to what looks to be an intriguing and very entertaining series
a riot of freaky fun
It seems you only live in Midnight if you have a secret you want nobody to know, and I am looking forward to the books to come so that the ghostly mists lift and more is revealed
All stars

I love how characters from other books get to continue their stories. Being a fan of this universe I thoroughly enjoyed listening to and reading this book. I recommend reading all three books in this trilogy before writing reviews as the complete story makes for a much better ending.

A wonderful continuation in this universe.

in true Charliane Harris style Midnight has its own unique collection of unusual characters.
Woven together to bring us a story of intrigue, secrets & revelations.
I found it alittle slower to get going unlike some of the authors books, but the narrater held the story together beautifully & you just knew that midnight wasnt going to stay quiet..... or sleepy for long. Im about to purchace the 2nd Midnight audio book.

I really liked Charlaine Harris's The Southern Vampire Mysteries, so I gave this book a go. The performance is really good, but the plot is not as much. The story somewhat repeats characters and storylines from the vampires mysteries. The beginning of this book looked promising, but did not like the ending - there were no hints throughout the story for such an ending, comes out of nowhere.

Finished listening, but expected more.

Not a bad book, well written, good characters, I just wish it had gone somewhere more exciting. The end fell a little flat for me, but as this is the first in a series maybe the next books will take more advantage of the supernatural elements. And hopefully something puts the MOL in their place once and for all.

It was okay, will give second book a read.
