Huge congratulations to Jeaniene Frost. I raided her newsletter for all the details.
From Jeaniene’s Newsletter
I’m thrilled to join the Bramble team because of the amazing things they’ve been doing in the Romantasy genre. AND, this reunites me with editor Erika Tsang, who moved to Bramble about a year ago. Some of you might remember that Erika’s been my editor all the way back to my first vampire novel, so if you’ve read and enjoyed my books, know that Erika’s had a hand in nearly all of them.
I’d had pieces of the story for WHAT BEASTS THE NIGHT DREAMS in my head for a couple years now, but as I’ve said before, I choose which books to write based on which character is loudest in my mind. Prior to 2023, Bones won. Then, in summer of last year, I couldn’t stop thinking about these new characters, so I started writing their story. As mentioned, this is a new world with different supernatural creatures, new mythos behind those creatures, new magical rules, and secret hidden worlds. Like my vampire novels, however, I follow the same hero and heroine over the course of at least two books, and you can also expect the same level of heat, action, and banter.
Does this mean you’re done writing vampire books?
Absolutely not! I love my fanged ones, so there will definitely be more stories with them. I’m just cheating on them with other creatures right now.
Why is the release so far away?
That was the publisher’s decision, and they did so in order to give the first book a good launch, which I’m grateful for. Once I have an exact release date and pre-order link, I’ll post it.
When can we have a snippet?
The book is still in revisions, so things could change from the book’s current version to the one that ends up in stores. Once the revisions are finished, I’ll be sure to post some teasers.
Can you give us ANY more hints about the book?
My agent’s tagline in submissions for this book was, “Beauty is the Beast in this compelling blend of romance, sizzling chemistry and high stakes danger.”
Once again, I’ll have more details plus snippets further down the line, but until then, I’m so happy that the news is finally official, and I can’t wait to share this story with you!
I’ve read this, and this is a magical dream of a novel. So excited to see this come to life.
Sounds great! Can’t wait to read it! Congratulations Jeaniene! 🥳

Congratulations to Jeaniene Frost!
GAH! I was hoping it was something for now. Love her writing but not a big fan of vampires as the sexy good guys. This new series sounds AWESOME. CAN’T WAIT!!!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful news! Binge read / listened to Jeaniene’ books this summer right after finishing all of House Andrews.
Thank you for introducing me to this author!
YEAH – even MORE books to read by an author I truly enjoy!
Congratulations, Jeaniene!
Congratulations to Jeaniene! I will need to check this new book when it comes out.
Thank you, Ilona for the news.
Thank you for the update! Always live for the new books, especially by authors that have a huge place in my mind and heart.
On a side note; Every time I read about an upcoming release I hear the ketchup commercial’s ( and Carly Simon) song “Anticipation…” 😂
😂😂😂😂
This is amazing news.
Whaa very looking forward to it!
Oh, you know I can’t wait to get my hands and eyes on this!
Oooohhhhh, exciting! Can’t wait to try!
Not a vampire novel by Ms. Frost? yay! I like the way she writes but I’m not a big fan of vampire novels. so I’m really looking forward to this.
Looks exciting! Congratulations to Jeanine.
Is the series based in Baltimore? Asking because the city skyline in the pretty picture is Charm City, aka ‘home’.
Yes, a good part of the book is set in Baltimore 🙂
Congratulations Jeanine! Something to look forward too…
Congrats to Jeanine! Can’t wait to check it out!
Aww, love you, Ilona!
Congratulations Jeaniene!
And congratulations IA on today’s GA release of Magic Breaks!
I love Cat and Bones. Y’all must be girls (homegirls). This is a nice gesture. A best friend gesture. Thanks for the notice, since she is one of my faves. Hope you are recovering well.
great news! love Jeaniene’s work 🩷
Wow! Sounds like a lot of fun, will have to keep an eye out for it! Many congrats to Jeaniene!
Congratulations to her–
So exciting–like best friends having new babies at the (about anyway) same time.
Looks like we readers have some wonderful adventures to look forward to!
Congrats Jeanine Frost!! Happy reading to us! Sounds like a really fun new world. As I re-read Vlad’s books for the millionth time. 😎
Congratulations to Ms Frost, this sounds really fun.
Congrats! That is wonderful news!
Always happy squeals when there’s a new Jeanine Frost (or IA) book out!
Awesome I love her books
What exciting news!! I’m looking forward to her new series. Gosh, this is great, bdh will have Maggie and a new series by Jeanine Frost to look forward to, squeee
Ooh, intriguing and exciting! I’m always excited to see what new worlds my favorite authors can come up with (while simultaneously being down for more in the already-established worlds, of course).
Also, I think Erika Tsang is the only modern editor whose name I know, because it has been attached to so many books I’ve loved over the years–to the point that I will actually check out a new author if I notice that Tsang’s name is attached.
Me too (about Erika)! I have also picked up books that list Nancy Yost as the agent, for a similar reason. I recognize her name and think the author must be good to be represented by her! 😄
So excited for What Beasts the Night Dreams and Maggie!
There’s so much to look forward to!
Thank you guys for creating extraordinary places for us to dwell in, your unique worlds make this world a better place.
Will definitely read your new book Jeaniene 😁🤓. „Beauty is the Beast“ sounds very cool to me!!!
Congratulations, Jeaniene! Can’t wait to read it. 🙂
