Stardust Souls
In love's shadow, death awaits.
Milo Hale never asked to be a prince. Solitude suits him far better than a crown, yet as the only stardust soul in his kingdom—a being both blessed by the gods and feared by nature—he carries a burden heavier than any throne. With a kingdom wary of his unnatural blood and a family strained by their mortal lineage, Milo’s life is a delicate balance… until the only solution to save them all is a marriage into the formidable Baudelaire clan.
Princess Frances Baudelaire is a vampire with one freedom. Immersed in mystery novels and forensic journals after her father’s death, she craves pleasure, power, and autonomy—and refuses to let an unwanted engagement chain her down.
Two months before the wedding, an assassin appears in Milo’s room, forcing both families to flee to Wisteria Manor, a haunted seaside estate where rooms vanish and ghosts whisper secrets. Its haunted walls seem safe enough until a new killer appears, harvesting hearts in search of a book capable of destroying the realm.
Amid the looming threat, forbidden romances ignite—but not where anyone expects. Milo’s heart is claimed by Sage, the enigmatic new professor at Wisteria Manor, while Frances battles a dangerous attraction to Jeremy Nightingale, Milo’s best friend and a witch with a bitter history toward vampires. Hate, desire, and secrets collide as the royals must navigate love, betrayal, and a murderer’s game before the fate of their world and hearts is sealed.

Gabriela takes us to a world familiar, yet beyond our own. Murder mystery romance with vampires and witches, this book will have you ignoring anything else! (I was late for work one day!)
The uncomplicated love story leaves room for character growth and for conflict that takes more much more thrilling turns than a basic love triangle.
Through her prose you really get to know our main characters like you're overhearing a group at some otherworldly cafe. I can confidently say I didn't want it to end.
This is a story of finding belonging, in places stronger than blood. A story of challenging expectations and becoming a better person for it It as a reminder to hold our dear ones close as they will be there wherever life's adventures take you.

This book healed so many parts of me.
While there is love, this story really hones in on friendship and the power of it within your life. The characters truly ingrained themselves in my brain. Stardust Souls is definitely a gothic romantasy clue type of vibe. Perfect for spooky season if you ask me 🤩
The plot twist at the end was WILD, buckle up and welcome to Stardust Souls.
