Scott Westerfeld, Blue Noon
Eos (2005) ISBN: 0-06-051957-6
Score: 2

Third (and maybe final) Midnighter book. The midnight time freeze starts happening during the day, and things seem to be building up to a major catastrophe on Halloween. A satisfactory end to the trilogy (if it is over), though the climax could have been set up better. The score loses a point because the characters keep complaining about how little time they have, yet seem to do nothing for most of three weeks and don't even consider a couple of obvious (to me) courses of action.

Next Book: Elaine Isaak, The Singer's Crown

Scott Westerfeld, Touching Darkness
Eos (2004) ISBN: 0-06-051954-1
Score: 3

This is the second book in the Midnighters series, and matches the quality of The Secret Hour. There are a few hooks for future books, but nothing that requires sequels.
