Night Shift

I am a Charlaine Harris junky, having read 2 previous series (Sookie Stackhouse and Lily Bard) in their entirety, several of the Aurora Teagarden and Harper Connelly series, and everything previously published in this newest series about Midnight, Texas. Midnight's residents are disturbed by people coming to kill themselves at the exact center of the crossroads that is the apparent reason for the town's existence. A large and scary voice is beginning to talk to Fiji, claiming it wants to make her happy by killing those who have been mean to her. Lemuel is still desperately trying to translate the books found hidden in the pawn shop that he believes will reveal what is driving this spate of suicides. Fiji, meanwhile, has broken up with Bobo--at least in her mind, although her heart and body don't seem to want to fall in line. When it turns out that a demon banished 250 years ago is about to re-emerge at the crossroads, and that only the blood of a witch can stop him from taking power and destroying the world, Fiji comes under a bit of pressure to perform a public deflowering on the site. Lots of other developments among the unusual populace keep this story rich and entertaining. There is a map of Midnight on the front and back end papers which is always a treat. Highly recommended if you like the supernatural. You don't have to have read the previous two installments (Day Shift and Midnight Crossroad) but why wouldn't you?!
