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 2nd 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.
