The Secret Hour by Scott Westerfeld

Description: From inside book cover...

'Strange things happen at midnight in the town of Bixby, Oklahoma. Time freezes. Nobody moves. For one secret hour each night, the town belongs to the dark creatures that haunt the shadows. Only a small group of people know about the dark hour-only they are free to move about the midnight time. These people call themselves midnighters. Each one has a different power that is stongest at midnight:Seer, Mindcaster, Acrobat, and Polymath. For years the Midnighters and the dark creatures have shared the secret hour, uneasily avoiding one another. All that changes when the new girl with an unmistakable midnight aura appears at Bixby High School. Jessica Day is not an outsider like the other Midnighters. She acts perfectly normal in every way. But it soon becomes clear that the dark creatures sence a hidden power in Jessica.....and they are determined to stop her before she can use it. A story of courage, shadowy perils, and unexpected destiny, THE SECRET HOUR is the first volume of the mesmerizing Midnighters trilogy by acclaimed author Scott Westerfeld.'

I loved this book, it kept my interest when i was having trouble finding a good book to read. I am currently doing a class project on it and my teacher is beginning to read it, she likes it too. The only thing that i have to complain about is that the rest of the books haven't been written so once you read this you are stuck waiting for the next book.
