HUGE thank you to the absolutely wonderful @delphineseddon and @blueneonbooks for popping in to sign copies of Darkening Song for us today ✨ It was an absolute pleasure 💕

DARKENING SONG is a fiercely feminist story for fans of DAISY JONES & THE SIX and EUPHORIA. It’s about friendship and betrayal. It’s a love story and a story about trauma. But more than anything, it’s a story about hope and about how dreams can come true in ways we least expect…👀

Darkening Song by @delphineseddon (out now with @blueneonbooks) has been on tour with Novel Tours, and we’ve absolutely loved seeing all the incredible Bookstagram content celebrating this fierce, addictive story across audiobook, print, and eBook 🔥

Daisy Jones & The Six meets Euphoria, Darkening Song dives deep into fame, friendship, ambition, and the darker side of the music industry - following a teen star failed by the industry that made her, and the manager forced to choose between loyalty and power.

**ad/pr** thank you @novel.tours for having me! @delphineseddon for writing an absolute cracker! And @blueneonbooks for publishing it! I kid you not this book was epic! It’s out now if you think it sounds like a bit of you! Highly recommend the audio as it has singing 🎵 yes actual music!!insane!

Official blurb - Eva is 18 years old and interning at a record label when she discovers 16 year old Alora online. Never before has she heard a voice like Alora’s, and when it’s clear there isn’t anyone at the label interested in hearing this phenomenal talent, Eva takes matters into her own hands and offers to be Alora’s manager without knowing the first thing about artist management or what’s about to happen to both of them.

It turns out Eva’s instincts were right...Alora is catapulted into the spotlight of major superstardom, and as the two young women navigate the whirling vortex of fame - the parties, the paparazzi, the power - they form a close bond, becoming found family to each other.

But when Alora’s dark and mysterious past begins to infiltrate her present, and Eva’s ambition and success blind her to the obvious signs that her friend is in trouble, their lives unravel with disastrous consequences.

DARKENING SONG is a fiercely feminist story for fans of DAISY JONES & THE SIX and EUPHORIA. It’s about friendship and betrayal. It’s a love story and a story about trauma. But more than anything, it’s a story about hope and about how dreams can come true in ways we least expect.

My thoughts- well written, really felt emotional towards some of the characters, it felt like you were right there in the studio, in the room, in the gig, it was just awesome! The dark under belly of the music Industry was no surprise tbh. The music was epic! There are trigger warnings throughout.
I just adored this book and it has stayed with me long after! It’s out now!!!! Run don’t walk!

Let me know below if you have or are gonna pick this up
