If you've researched "double chin", you'll read the highlights here or what you already read. Consider this to be a VERY short summary.

I'd already given in to the hype that came along with Book #4 and ponied up the money to buy all four volumes.  After surreptitiously devouring #1, I got into the swing of the storyline and decided to read the entire set.  Don't get your hopes up -- this isn't "deep" reading -- but it IS fun reading.  You'll find yourself trying to outguess the mysteries -- and you can probably DO it -- but the point is that the author brings you along and makes you enjoy the story as you pretend that it is too "simple" for adults to read.  But, give in -- even if you have to pull off the dustjacket and pretend you're reading something from the "nonfiction" shelf.  You'll find yourself smiling and then looking for the 3rd volume.

Most of the reviews already hit on all the great stuff in this book. Moving, detailed, gets right under the characters' skins.  And so much more. I just want to add that if you pick it up and just read the prologue, which is a masterful and heartbreaking story in its own right, there's no way you won't walk out with this book. Go get it.

Nothing in this book that we all don't already but it contains everything that we forget.  I was very inspired by reading this.  I will read this over and over for sure.

The old familiar elements are here--witches, vampires, shifters, a murder, a bakery and a heroine who doesn't know her own powers. This could lead you to believe that you are going to yawn from the very familiarity of the same old thing. You would be wrong. Somehow the author manages to take these very tired elements and weave something entirely new from them--a new something that will hold your attention to the very last page and beyond. I rarely buy an entire series after the very first book, but this time I did because I seriously doubt that I will tire of this series before I'm done. Well written and generally well edited, something that is rare these days, the book delivers one surprise after another, all wrapped up in a world that is cohesive and well imagined. Don't hesitate to buy this book!

Just read it and when your done read it again. So much information compressed as much as possible. A guide to understand your bond and connection to everything you see and can't see in the universe.

Turns out I've already read this, but it is a great follow-up to the original six books.

The books of this series cover the range of all the things you pick a book up for! You have drama enough to make you care, humor enough to make you snort (or chuckle, your choice), and the pleasure of getting close to the characters to feel for them and admire them. The author has skillfully woven a whole scenario that hardly lets you relax, and then you're in there, side by side, with the featured characters changing the world.

Just buy it - read it and be glad you did.  Enough said - now go do it.

Throughout the read I kept having the feeling that I had already read the book.  This is because it is so similar to 23 prior books, all made from the same recipe.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book and read right through most of it in one sitting to see exactly what was in it.  Now I'm reading it again, a page at a time, and letting each piece of advice and each daily activity sink in. I'm looking forward to the sequels coming out!

You know that it's going to be a good read if you've read any of the previous books in the series. There are some significant changes in the personality of quite a few of the old, familiar characters in this edition. It will be interesting to see where the next book leads us.

This is a must have if you're reading this book.

There's only one thing I can say about this series, if you haven't already read ALL of them then you need to!

It you haven't already added this book to your library, then do so now. You won't regret it.

Well... I'm going to go start on the next part. And give this book a shot.

If you are a true reader, you have a couple of books that you pick up and devour every so often.  Kinda like wearing your favorite sweatshirt, you read it because it hits you in all the right spots and always digs you out of that reading rut when nothing else piques your interest.

In my case, I have a few go-to books.  Stephen King's THE STAND, Robert McCammon's SPEAKS THE NIGHT BIRD, Joe Lansdales' THE BOTTOMS and this novel, MIDNIGHT RAIN by James Newman.

If you love coming-of-age horror in the vein of McCammon's BOY'S LIFE, Dan Simmon's SUMMER OF NIGHT, and King's THE BODY, this is right up your proverbial alley.  I have read it at least 4 times since I first snagged a copy.  When asked for recommendations, it's always at the top of my list.

While you're at it, pick up a copy of Newman's other gem, THE WICKED.  :)
