The Secret Hour, by Scott Westerfeld

4.0

A few weeks after Jessica Day, and her family, moves to Bixby, OK she wakes up at Midnight to find that the light is blue and their are diamonds suspended in the air, that turn out to be frozen rain drops. It turns out that in Bixby, people born at the stroke of Midnight get an extra hour a day – the Secret Hour. The only catch, they share it with the slithers, evil beings that haunt the hour. Very cool story, first in a series.
