Scott Westerfeld’s Midnighters series ran for four books between 2004 and 2006. It opens with The Secret Hour, followed by Touching Darkness and Blue Noon. The titles hint at a world shaped by hidden hours and shadows, with each book pressing further into whatever darkness the characters first stumbled into.
All four books came out in quick succession over just three years, so the story moves at a brisk pace. Publication order is the best way to read them, since the plot and characters build directly from one book to the next.
