The Midnight Man by Caroline Mitchell

A very spooky start to the book which of course just gave me chills.  I love the way the story is set up as it does make you think if one of those old horror movies that you used to be terrified of but now just have to watch.

Angelica seems like a typical teenager who wants to be grown up and also wants to scare her friends.  She seems to also be very annoying as she seems to think of herself.

The first couple of chapters are more building up to what the true story is.  In fact you just see the kids and not any adults and it felt like it was just meant to spook you out with the setting.

The pace is quick but carries with it the details required to make the story punch home.  I think Sarah is designed well and you can see her struggles even without fully knowing what happpened.

Sarah is a great character.  I find her easily relatable as she isn’t perfect and has a lot of issues that she is working through.

Gabby felt like the hard-nosed queen of the department where she rules with an iron fist.  She feels wrong in a lot of ways because she seems to have no care for Sarah and just wants to be angry and blame her for things beyond her control.

Christian is freaking me out as I really just think he is so intense and when you see what he is like it does feel that he is not all there mentally.

I wasn’t really sure what to expect and I will say I am normally good at ferreting out who the culprits are and this caught me so off guard.  I loved being surprised and this book was excellent.

The book made me feel a renewed love for this authors work and really pushed everything I loved about the Jennifer Knight series to the forefront.  This was simply put amazing.
