(4) YA Midnighters series. Teenage Jessica moves to Bixby, Oklahoma, where, she discovers, time stops for an hour every night at midnight. She and a small group of fellow classmates are among the few who have the ability to experience this twenty-fifth hour of the day--along with dangerous, enemy creatures known as darklings. The premise is intriguing, but the novel goes on too long to sustain suspense.
