Oh My Teen Book Group discusses The Secret Hour by Scott Westerfeld, the first volume of the mesmerizing Midnighters trilogy. Strange things happen at midnight in the town of Bixby, Oklahoma. For one secret hour each night, the town belongs to the dark creatures that haunt the shadows. Only a small group of people know about the secret hour. These people call themselves Midnighters. For years the Midnighters and the dark creatures have shared the secret hour. All that changes when the new girl with an unmistakable midnight aura appears at Bixby High School. It soon becomes clear that the dark creatures sense a hidden power in her. . . and they're determined to stop her before she can use it. The Secret Hour is a story of courage, shadowy perils, and unexpected destiny.
