Midnighters

YA
Midnighters series.
In the second book in the series, five misfit teens in a small Oklahoma town struggle to uncover secrets within their own community and continue to battle demonic "darklings" during the mysterious twenty-fifth hour of midnight. A new human threat allows Westerfeld to probe the ambiguities and pressures of difference, a theme that resonates beyond the novel's fantastical premise.

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.
