Title: Touching DarknessAuthor: Scott Westerfeld
Rating: 9 out of 10
Where I Found It: Library
Summary: As they continue to battle evil creatures living in an hour hidden at midnight, Jessica and her new friends learn about Bixby, Oklahoma's shadowy past and uncover a deadly conspiracy that reaches beyond the secret hour.
General Impression: This is what every sequel should be. Push the characters farther, put more at stake, basically continue the fast pace from the last book to the second. I can barely put into words how unbelievably fantastic this was. Ending was amazing (not as good as Whale Talk, but still) The build up and execution was phenomenal. We get to delve deeper into the characters minds, and the history of the town; digging up some interesting back stories. It deserves to be the sequel to The Secret Hour.
I don't suggest this to you if you haven't read the first book, which I suppose I would suggest to anyone who doesn't mind getting their concept of time warped.
