Midnighters

This is the first book in New York Times bestselling author Scott Westerfeld's Midnighters series. A few nights after Jessica Day arrives in Bixby, Oklahoma, she wakes up at midnight to find the entire world frozen. For one secret hour each night, the town belongs to the dark creatures that haunt the shadows. And only a small group of people-Jessica included-is free to move about then. They are The Midnighters. The Secret Hour is the first book...

The Midnighters are baffled when the blue time suddenly occurs in the middle of the day. They soon discover that the walls between the secret hour and real time are crumbling, and, unless they can stop it, the dark creatures will have a chance to feed after centuries of waiting.
