  Shamed schoolteacher, Mathilde, moves to a dairy farm in the Norwegian countryside for an 'easier life', but she's soon up to her old tricks … upending and unsettling the lives of two reclusive farmers. Exquisitely written, razor-sharp and simmering with an unexpected tension, Toxic marks the return of one of Norway's finest writers…
  `Flatland has the gift that I most often covet in the work of other writers: the ability to make everyday events compelling … how the quietest existence can brim with urgency and drama´ Ann Morgan
  `Helga Flatland writes with elegance and subtle humour´ Daily Express

  ––––––––––––––
  When Mathilde is forced to leave her teaching job in Oslo after her relationship with eighteen-year-old Jacob is exposed, she flees to the countryside for a more authentic life.
  Her new home is a quiet cottage on the outskirts of a dairy farm run by Andres and Johs, whose hobbies include playing the fiddle and telling folktales – many of them about female rebellion and disobedience, and seeking justice, whatever it takes.
  But beneath the apparently friendly and peaceful pastoral surface of life on the farm, something darker and more sinister starts to vibrate and, with Mathilde's arrival, cracks start appearing … everywhere.

  Midnight Clause - She was hired...

  Allison Hughes doesn’t believe in accidents. 
  In her world, every word has purpose. 
  Every pause is calculated. 
  Every story is shaped before it’s ever told. 
  That’s why she was chosen. 
  A private recording studio. 
  A controlled narrative. 
  A manuscript already perfected. 
  Her job is simple—ensure consistency. Maintain structure. Deliver the story exactly as intended. 
  Until Julian Phillips begins to speak. 
  His voice is flawless. Controlled. Precise. 
  But beneath every line… something doesn’t match. 
  A hesitation that isn’t written. 
  A meaning that isn’t approved. 
  A truth that refuses to stay hidden. 
  The more Allison listens, the more the story begins to fracture—not on the page, but in the space between words. And the deeper she goes, the clearer it becomes: 
  She’s not just directing a performance. 
  She’s uncovering something that was never meant to be heard. 
  And Julian? 
  He knows it. 
  Midnight Clause is a slow-burn romantic psychological drama where control meets truth, silence becomes intimacy, and two minds collide in a space where every word matters… but what’s unspoken matters more. 
  Because sometimes, the most dangerous story is the one told without permission.

  Friends don't let friends go to jail. 
  Everly Dupree's to-do list just got longer: clear her best friend's name, solve two murders, and send two ghosts into the light. All before happy hour. 
  When Patrea Evergreen is arrested for murder, Everly leaps into action—as if being haunted by psychic Davina Benet's uncooperative ghost wasn't irritating enough. 
  With zero suspects and even fewer clues, Everly hits a wall until town gossip Jober Peavey starts spreading the most ridiculous rumors Mooselick River has ever heard. But someone thought Jober should keep his mouth permanently shut—and now there's another body on the ground. 
  As Everly digs deeper, she unravels a tangled web of secrets that reaches into the heart of her sleepy town. With Patrea's freedom hanging in the balance and two chatty ghosts demanding justice, Everly finds herself racing against a ticking clock. 
  The closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous her investigation becomes. Now she must decide how far she's willing to go to save her friend—before she becomes the next victim in this deadly haunting season. 
  When the dead won't rest and the living won't talk, sometimes the most dangerous thing in town isn't the ghost haunting you—it's the truth.
