Night Shift by Charlaine Harris

Night Shift (Midnight, Texas, #3)

by Charlaine Harris

Welcome to the most intriguing mystery you'll read this year.
Welcome to Midnight, Texas.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse novels-"the Mark Twain of things that live under your bed"-comes a new novel of Midnight, Texas, the town where some secrets will never see the light of day...

At Midnight's local pawnshop, weapons are flying off the shelves-only to be used in sudden and dramatic suicides right at the main crossroads in town.

Who better to figure out why blood is being spilled than the vampire Lemuel, who, while translating mysterious texts, discovers what makes Midnight the town it is. There's a reason why witches and werewolves, killers and psychics, have been drawn to this place.

And now they must come together to stop the bloodshed in the heart of Midnight. For if all hell breaks loose-which just might happen-it will put the secretive town on the map, where no one wants it to be...

Night Shift is the final book and brings with it troubles that have laid peacefully for two-hundred and fifty years but something has awaken. This story focuses on all the loose threads, romantic stirrings and threads from previous books. It brought a sense of closure even if I felt the climactic battle fizzled a little.  Harris accomplishes all of this while still giving us a chilling mystery. I love that we got to see movement regarding Olivia and her father. Manfred seems to have found his happy and outsiders have become a part of Midnight. I will honestly miss this little town and its kooky inhabitants. I loved the concept of a small-town for supernatural misfits or perhaps loners is a better term. I will let you decide. Harris left a few threads open and it might disappoint those who like things wrapped up in cute little packages. I love to imagine what will become of these characters as I secretly hope the author does another book. So far I’ve been luck with these silent prayers.
