COMMISSIONED ARTWORK

The artwork alone will make you NEED to read The Nexus Crest Series.

Gabrielle Vadala

I actually can't even express to you how much I love this artwork. I explained Gabrielle to the artist, Black Fury Art on VGen, and showed her some examples of what she looked like, but I swear it was as if she could see directly into my mind and bring Gabrielle to life. Every little detail, every expression, every part of her just feels so incredibly Gabrielle.

You are, without a doubt, looking at Gabrielle in all of her beautiful bloodborne glory. The heir to the Vadala and Weber lineages. Heir to a university throne. Heir to... well... you'll find out come Book 3. 😉

In Book 1, you meet Gabrielle as she begins her freshman year at Nexus Crest University. She's witty, sharp-tongued, and filled with dark humor. She's not afraid to speak her mind, push boundaries, or make a sarcastic comment when she probably shouldn't. But there's so much more to her than meets the eye.

As the series progresses, you begin to see different sides of Gabrielle. The power, the darkness, the vulnerability, and the parts of herself that even she doesn't fully understand yet. And trust me, we're only scratching the surface of what she's capable of.

I think that's one of my favorite things about creating this series. Getting to watch Gabrielle evolve, unravel, and discover just who she really is.

And this artwork? It captures a version of her that I absolutely cannot wait for you to get to know. 🩸

The Gala

I introduce the Enchanted Gala Artwork, created by Soft_Toast_uwu from VGen!

This scene officially marks the reverse harem aspect of the series. Throughout the books, you've seen the interest in Gabrielle, but I really want readers to understand the intensity of who these men are to her and what each of them means. They're important to her, to her story, and to the person she's going to become over the course of the series.

This is one of my many favorite chapters in the book! Gabrielle attends the Enchanted Gala her family and the university organized to raise money for the ReVamp program. She dances the Eternal Embrace with each of these men, giving readers a glimpse into the relationships she shares with each of them.

Michael Malec, Gabrielle's love interest, is in sync with her movements, almost as if they knew each other in another lifetime and had danced this very dance before.

Victor is the first man to dance with Gabrielle. (What Gabrielle and I like to call him: Mafia Barbie's ex-boyfriend.) You can sense the need for control on both sides throughout their dance. There's a power struggle between them, and neither seems particularly willing to give the other an inch.

And then there's Axel, her longtime best friend. They've known each other practically forever, but their relationship suffered a massive falling-out following an extreme tragedy. As readers, we still don't have the full picture of what happened, but Axel does. And that little piece of missing history makes their interactions all the more interesting.

And remember, while this may be a reverse harem, it is NOT a why-choose. 😉

And trust me, there's so much more to come. 🩸

After The Cult Slaughter

Okay, THIS has to be one of the BIGGEST TWISTS in the entire book. And it's right at the very end!

For those of you who haven't read Nexus Crest yet, PLEASE READ NO FURTHER. I don't want to spoil either book for you! This artwork captures the transition between the very end of Book 1 (Nexus Crest) and the opening of Book 2 (Obsession Unending). And trust me, it's a transition you won't forget.

First, can we talk about this outfit? CHEF'S KISS. A huge thank-you to the lovely artist, Yen_Illusionist on VGen, for bringing these two to life. She made them look absolutely sultry, and the entire piece captures the ending of Nexus Crest so perfectly.

Well... perhaps a much sweeter version of it. Because I'm pretty sure Gabrielle was A LOT bloodier when it came to slaughtering the Shepherds at that cult meeting. I mean, after what she witnessed that night, the horrors of their creation, and the sacrifices that took place, I think anyone would have snapped. What Gabrielle saw was enough to push anyone over the edge. And let's just say she made sure those responsible paid for it - almost all of them.

And thank God for Michael, right?

Or... should we still be thanking him? Because, well... if you've read Obsession Unending, you might have some thoughts about that. And if you haven't, I REALLY can't say anything else without giving away too much. 😂

All I can say is that the ending of Nexus Crest is only the beginning of what comes next. And if you thought you understood Gabrielle, Michael, and everything happening at Nexus Crest, Book 2 might just make you question absolutely everything. 🩸
