Midnight Hour

Set in contemporary Edinburgh with deep roots in Scottish folklore, this YA fantasy follows a teen who discovers the city’s hidden magical underlayer after dark. The novel blends mystery, friendship, and coming-of-age momentum with atmospheric urban settings—wynds, closes, and shadowed landmarks that feel alive with old stories. Its pacing is brisk, but the emotional core stays grounded in identity, family pressure, and the courage to choose your own path. A strong pick for younger readers who want fantasy that feels local, cinematic, and distinctly Scottish.
