Anticipated Release: Locke and Keye

Although I love reading, I’m not one to be eagerly anticipating books that aren’t from the Wizarding World with some very rare exceptions. Normally I read things that have been published a couple of years or a couple of decades because I’m rarely one for partaking in the hype of a book. But like I said, there are exceptions.

Enter Locke and Keye by Christie Stratos, the 2^nd book in the Dark Victoriana collection and I can only say one thing:

I’m pumped.

Back in 2016, I read Anatomy of a Darkened Heart in March and was blown away by what has become not only my favorite indie book, but one of my favorite books, period. If you want some detailed insights into this work, here’s my review. 

Lock and Keye shall be a standalone novel within the Dark Victoriana Collection that will lead readers in a whole new psychological direction while expanding familiar characters and scenes to continue the Whitestone legacy. 

"Brothers in the art of keeping secrets." This is the mantra Mr. Locke's carefully chosen five employees must repeat together every day before starting work. These talented locksmiths can make a new lock and key set for you. They can even make a special padlock for a diary you never want to share with anyone. But just remember: when they make the lock, they keep a key—and it's only a matter of time until they use it. So how does this brotherhood and the town's secrets interlock? Only Mr. Locke holds the key.

The second book in the Dark Victoriana collection promises to offer more of the quality of writing and tense atmosphere that characterizes Stratos’s work. It shall be available on September 7, 2017 but you can Pre-order today, and I already did.
