''[[Midnighters]]'' is a young-adult book series written by Scott Westerfeld. It's set in the small town of Bixby, Oklahoma (which, incidentally, does exist in [[Real Life]]). The main premise is that there are 25 hours in a day. The 25th hour is nicknamed "the blue time" because everything has a slightly blue glow, and takes place right [[Time Stands Still|after]] the stroke of midnight.
This is much [[Worse Than It Sounds (Darth Wiki)|Worse Than It Sounds]] for the Heroes, because creatures called darklings and [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|slithers]] inhabit the blue time, which are as nasty as they sound. Also, technology and most ordinary people become [[Time Stands Still|frozen in time]], and look like they came straight out of [[Uncanny Valley]], according to the [[Five-Man Band|Midnighters]] crew.

Not to be confused with the [[The Authority|Midnighter]].

* [[Abusive Parents]]: Rex's father. {{spoiler|That is, until Melissa mind-rapes him.}}
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Constanza Grayfoot is the fashion obsessed queen of the school who struts about with her girl posse and dreams of being an actress in L.A. She's part Native American, not blonde, and is more harmlessly superficial than actually evil, so she's not a straight example.
