What Midnight is like to read
A picturesque coastal town hides something sinister, and four strangers — an investigator, an agent, a child, and a veteran — converge on the secret. Multi-POV, propulsive commercial horror-thriller pacing built on a small-town-with-a-dark-secret hook. Best for: readers who want ensemble small-town horror with a conspiracy peeled back layer by layer.
