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 it is 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…
I loved this book. I loved learning Olivia's story. And the whole story with Manfred and his client was so entertaining.
Two characters from the Sookie books appear in this book. Barry the Bellboy - book # 2 and Quinn the Were-Tiger Book #5 (I miss the voice that Johanna Parker does for Quinn from the other book. Because he is American. )

I'm finding this series to be really boring. I've also been noticing lately that Charlaine Harris has a lot of fillers in many of her books- such as mentioning dull, mundane, everyday activities that don't add anything to the story or plot. I'm not saying I'm not a fan of hers- just an observation. I just am unable to really get myself excited by these books with all of the characters and boring storylines. I'm going to read the last book though since I already have it.

Book 2 in the midnight Texas trilogy
Ms. Harris has a way with characters. She can form the simplest of them into these interesting addicting beings. You just want to know them better, want to sit and share an ice tea with them. There was more to this second book, more people, more action, more mystery. She does love a slow build up, luckily so do I. This one has several shockers that amazed and surprised me. I loved it.
This book continues with the characters from book one and adds a few more to spice up the town. A sexy orange striped furry shifter from her Southern Vampire Series makes a brief showing as well as a telepathic bellboy. The shifter brings a new face to town Diderik. Mr Snuggy, has some new friends
When the abandoned hotel in town is mysteriously reopened the town goes into tail spin, nerves are on edge. The when one on Manfield’s clients ends up dead at the same time as a couple seen with another Midnight Texas resident more attention is forced on the residents. Attention is not something anyone in Midnight wants, they are there to disappear.
The Reverend, we finally get to see some of the mystery behind that collar of his. Holy Shockwave, wait till you see what he;s been hiding. I never saw that coming.
Joe and Chuy, well there goes another shocker. WAM Holy Smack-dab what do you know. I wondered what their secret was and when I found out, another didn’t see that coming moment.
