Ashley Winstead's Southern gothic thriller, Midnight Is The Darkest Hour, is the ultimate page-turner. It features teenage star-crossed lovers, fire-and-brimstone preachers, vampiric folklore, and one of the most gasp-inducing endings I've ever read. Twilight meets Thelma and Louise meets Where the Crawdads Sing.

A gothic tale that blurs the line between good and evil, love and revenge, and the inherent desire to please our parents while simultaneously struggling to find ourselves. Midnight is the Darkest Hour is unique and unnerving from beginning to end.

Ashley Winstead shows her versatility and virtuosity as an author in this dark, eerie and completely enchanting book about friendship, love and vengeance. Midnight is the Darkest Hour is as creepy as it gets - and a tearjerker to boot! I loved every minute of it.

Amanda Jayatissa, author of You're Invited

The sharp-toothed answer to every fairy tale that warns girls to stay out of the woods...because what if we like what we find? Ashley Winstead has at once crafted an incisive critique of fundamentalism and one of the most unforgettable love stories I've ever read, dressed as a thriller that surprises at every turn.
