A(nother) series by the guy who writes Uglies, Pretties, whatevers. I had read his stand-alone Peeps (but not the Uglies, Pretties, whatevers).

1: The Secret Hour
2: Touching Darkness
3: Blue Noon

These books are great. Our world…but with an extra hour that happens at midnight that only a select few are “awake” in. A band of losers whose common ground is the midnight hour, when it turns out they have a few special skills of their own.

I really loved these. I loved the members of the group (particularly Dess). I LOVED all the wordplay (fantastic!). I loved how the slithers seemed related to something deeply dark and ancient. I loved the transformation of the group and how their relationships changed.

I am really going to regret that I read most of these from the library. Definitely buying up the set when I have income again!!
