BOOK SYNOPSIS:
There is no such thing as bad publicity, except in Midnight, Texas, where the residents like to keep to themselves. Even in a town full of secretive people, Olivia Charity is an enigma. She lives with the vampire Lemuel, but no one knows what she does; they only know that she’s beautiful and dangerous.
Psychic Manfred Bernardo finds out just how dangerous when he goes on a working weekend to Dallas and sees Olivia there with a couple who are both found dead the next day. To make matters worse, one of Manfred’s regular—and very wealthy—clients dies during a reading.
Manfred returns from Dallas embroiled in scandal and hounded by the press. He turns to Olivia for help; somehow he knows that the mysterious Olivia can get things back to normal. As normal as things get in Midnight…
REVIEW:
I’m a huge Charlaine Harris fan and I was very excited to get my hands on the next book in the Midnight, Texas series. Manfred finds himself in a lot of trouble when a working weekend turns into murder when one of his clients dies during a reading. To make matters worse, Manfred is blamed for the death and the client’s jewels are missing. Now he has to turn to Olivia to help solve the mystery of what happened to the missing jewels and help clear his name. But there is more to Olivia than meets the eye and everyone in Midnight has secrets that soon may come to light.
I admit I had a hard time getting started with her first book, Midnight Crossroad but I’m happy to say that Day Shift grabbed me from the first page and wouldn’t let go. I enjoyed learning more about Manfred, Rev and the mysterious Olivia, who I definitely would want on my side if I ever had a problem. The story was very fast-paced and entertaining and I loved seeing a familiar face at the end of this story. Day Shift is a fascinating addition to the amazing talent of Charlaine Harris and I am continually impressed with her ability to weave a tale that will keep you mesmerized for hours. Can’t wait to read the next story from this great writer.
