Books from the Backlog #64

Books from the Backlog is a fun way to feature some of those neglected books sitting on your bookshelf unread.  If you are anything like me, you might be surprised by some of the unread books hiding in your stacks. This meme is hosted by Carole's Random Life in Books!

 

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse novels returns to the one-traffic-light town you see only when you’re on the way to someplace else…

There is no such thing as bad publicity, except in Midnight, Texas, where the residents like to keep to themselves. Even in a town full of secretive people, Olivia Charity is an enigma. She lives with the vampire Lemuel, but no one knows what she does; they only know that she’s beautiful and dangerous.

Psychic Manfred Bernardo finds out just how dangerous when he goes on a working weekend to Dallas and sees Olivia there with a couple who are both found dead the next day. To make matters worse, one of Manfred’s regular—and very wealthy—clients dies during a reading.

Manfred returns from Dallas embroiled in scandal and hounded by the press. He turns to Olivia for help; somehow he knows that the mysterious Olivia can get things back to normal. As normal as things get in Midnight…

 

I added Day Shift by Charlaine Harris to my TBR in April of 2015. So pretty sure I have the paperback of it. I remember because the show was just getting started so I made myself read book 1 before it did so I could do my "comparison" watch. But then I fell behind and didn't get this one read before season 2 and then the series ended after what, 2 or 3 seasons? It's been so long I don't remember anything really! Lol. But I do remember liking the concept of it all and definitely want to continue this one when I get around to it again!
