Sinopsis

In "Midnight," Octavus Roy Cohen embarks on an evocative exploration of themes surrounding love, loss, and the shadows of human experience. This novel is penned in a lyrical style that interweaves vivid imagery with a thoughtful examination of societal constraints, reflective of the early 20th-century American literary landscape. The narrative unfolds against a backdrop of Southern life, where the nuances of interpersonal relationships illustrate both the triumphs and tribulations of its varied characters, offering a microcosm of broader themes relevant to the era. Cohen, an accomplished author and playwright, drew from his own rich cultural experiences as a Southern Jew navigating a complex social milieu to craft a narrative deeply rooted in authenticity and introspection. This personal connection to the rich tapestry of regional life informs his characters, showcasing the interplay between individual desires and societal expectations. His own journey through the intricacies of identity and heritage is palpably woven into the book's structure and character development. Recommended for readers who appreciate profound character studies and historical context, "Midnight" provides a compelling glimpse into the human condition. Cohen's masterful prose and poignant insights invite readers to reflect on their own lives and the inescapable influence of the past, making this novel a timeless addition to the canon of American literature.

    🐐 Dairy goat farmer and cheesemaker Nanny Nightingale is preparing for the County Fair when her prize-winning baby goat is kidnapped and the fair's dairy judge—a notoriously strict official with shady connections—is found dead in her barn, surrounded by suspiciously chewed competition documents. The police suspect a rival farmer, but Nanny notices the tooth marks don't match her goats and the victim's scoring sheets contain coded symbols about milk quality manipulation. With her farm under scrutiny and the farming community butting heads, Nanny must hoof it to solve the case. Assisted by her 4-H dairy club and the handsome veterinary odontologist analyzing tooth impressions, Nanny uncovers a scheme involving goat identity theft, fraudulent milk records, and a sophisticated operation switching premium breeding stock. From suspicious hoof prints that reveal unfamiliar animals to milk composition that doesn't match the breed standards, every clue tells a story. But when Nanny discovers the victim was systematically sabotaging small dairy operations to drive them out of business, she realizes the killer is protecting family farms more valuable than any blue ribbon. With the county fair approaching and the real goat-napper still milking the situation, Nanny must separate the truth from the whey before her own farm gets permanently curdled.

    Magic is in my blood, but trouble is in my bones. 
    I thought tracking down an Eternal Flame would be the hardest part of this trip. Turns out, I was wrong. Between a hidden magical village, a smug lake monster, and a high priestess who may or may not hold the key to fixing my mistakes, I’m starting to think I should have stayed in bed. 
    But I don’t have that luxury. My magic is growing stronger by the day, but it’s volatile, and if I don’t get a grip, I won’t just lose control - I’ll lose everything. 
    Kaz’s life hangs by a thread, the fire I was born to protect is fading, and now, to top it off, magical objects are vanishing from under our noses. A stolen grimoire, a missing goblet, and a determined old goblin convinced there’s a thief on the loose… and somehow, I’m the one tasked with solving the mystery. 
    Then there’s Fraser, steadfast, infuriatingly level-headed, and always there when I need him. He’s been by my side through all of this, even when I’ve given him every reason to walk away. But with my past catching up to me and my future in the balance, I can’t afford any distractions - especially not the kind that makes my heart race. 
    If I don’t prove myself worthy of the Flame, everything I’ve fought for - my family’s legacy, my magic, and possibly my own soul - could be lost forever. 
    No pressure, right?
