Hey friend!
Can you feel it? Woodsmoke in the air, crunch of leaves underfoot, the first chill that makes you reach for a blanket and a book. 🍂
October was made for stories like ours—the kind that flicker in the dark and whisper of hidden things. 🎃
And there’s plenty waiting for you in this month’s letter:
✨ The official blurb reveal for The Locke Mystique
✨ A brand-new Phantom of the Opera retelling (just for my Nightbloom members!)
✨ No spice fantasy romance book recs
So, without further ado…
🌙 The Locke Mystique — Official Blurb Reveal
Last month, I teased it. Today, it’s time.
The Locke Mystique is currently with beta readers, and once I have their feedback, I’ll finalize the formatting before sending it off to my cover designer (eep!).
Ready to step behind the curtain?
Here it is—your first real glimpse into The Locke Mystique.
What if everything you knew about yourself was a carefully crafted illusion?
Stage magician Arisa Locke creates illusions for a living, but doesn’t believe in real magic—until a wraith-like killer begins terrorizing Victorian Brimcliffe. When a corpse appears behind her theater, she's thrust into a centuries-old supernatural war she never knew existed.
Suddenly, Arisa finds herself caught between two dangerously compelling men: Keir McGregor, an aristocratic alchemist who wants her hidden powers, and Drystan Falcrest, a mesmerizing professor who wants her destiny.
As rival secret societies close in and bodies pile up, Arisa discovers the shocking truth—her fae blood makes her the key to an ancient artifact that could determine who rules the supernatural world.
With the celestial conjunction approaching and her friends' lives hanging in the balance, Arisa must choose sides in a deadly conflict—and discover whether she'll be Brimcliffe's salvation or the instrument of its destruction.
The greatest deception isn't on stage. It's in her blood.
Ahhh! Are you dying? I am so excited to share this book with you.
And yes, I’ll be opening ARC signups soon—and the Nightbloom Society gets first access. 💕
