A Note from Kia: You’re in for a treat today, kiddies. Our dear friend Leanna Renee Hieber has stopped by to give us an exclusive look at all the things we are eagerly awaiting in the next Magic Most Foul novel. (And oh, YES, we certainly are, aren’t we?) Said novel even has a name now: THE TWISTED TRAGEDY OF MISS NATALIE STEWART!
Edit: Also there is a giveaway! Post comment here to win copy of Darker Still! Rules over here.
So now without any further chit-chat, let’s let Leanna have her say!
Five things to look forward to in the next Magic Most Foul novel (Releasing this November!) In no particular order:
- Adventure! On Trains! Natalie and Jonathon as heroine and hero continue to lead the series. Our brave young lovers escape from New York City to dodge the after-effects of magic but have to dodge some additional problems along the way.
- There’s an homage to Frankenstein in a most disturbing way.
- There’s an homage to both The Exorcist and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in one new character.
- A Victorian Goth club. AKA “Her Majesty’s Association for Melancholy Bastards” – And I, the author, am a card-carrying Goth and member, so there.
- Making out in train cars and carriages. Enough said.

Reasons to check out DARKER STILL: A Novel of Magic Most Foul if you haven’t already:
- There’s a haunted painting. A British Lord is trapped inside. And he’s really good looking. (See, that’s three reasons just in one).
- Natalie Stewart, a spirited and opinionated young woman everyone can cheer for, overcomes danger, incredible personal odds and adversity to save lives and save the day.
- It will give you the shivers. Lots. Promise. I’ve been told that Natalie’s dreams aren’t to be read right before bedtime.
- It’s full of danger, intrigue, mystery, curses, magic, nightmares, disguises and pretty dresses!
- It was chosen as an INDIE NEXT recommended book by the American Booksellers Association and it’s a trilogy, so you’d best start now…
