🍁Can you believe it's already September? I love the fall. The coziness, the pumpkin spiced lattes, the first chill in the air.
It feels like the perfect season for secrets, doesn’t it?
And secrets, as you know, are exactly what I’ve been keeping.
Last month I told you something big was on the horizon… and today, I finally get to reveal it.
The very first book in my brand-new gaslamp fantasy series is called:
🌙 The Locke Mystique 🌙
This story will be unlike anything you’ve read from me before: darker, sharper, laced with danger and desire. Arisa Locke is a stage magician who doesn’t believe in real magic—until she stumbles into a centuries-old supernatural war that refuses to let her go.
If your heart beats faster for certain story flavors, then I think you’re going to devour this one. Imagine:
✨ Enemies to lovers tension that crackles like fire
✨ Forbidden romance tangled in bloodlines and destiny
✨ Rival secret societies battling for power in the shadows
✨ Gaslamp gothic vibes with murder, magic, and mystery
✨ A heroine everyone wants—but no one can control
✨ Slow-burn danger-filled romance under the flicker of gaslight
Yes, it’s as delicious as it sounds, and you, Nightbloom member, are the very first to know...
I can’t wait to share more pieces of this world with you in the months to come—behind-the-scenes peeks, artwork, and, eventually, the cover itself.
But for now, I’d love to hear from you: which of these tropes makes you the most excited to read The Locke Mystique? Hit reply and tell me—I read every single message. 💕
Until then, stay curious and keep your candle burning in the dark.
With warmth (and just a hint of mystery),
Angie O’Reilly
P.S. Next month, I’ll be sharing the official blurb for The Locke Mystique. I so excited to share it with you!
