Hey-o lovely human!
Yes. I'm posting twice this week. Because of that, there won't be a post on Saturday. 😜
I am SO SO SO excited for what I have to share with you, because today is the title reveal of a novel that my incredible friend Issabelle Perry is working on!! Issabelle is one of my favorite authors, and I'm not kidding when I say that her works have brought out ALL the emotions in me. Her stories are always beautiful, heartfelt, and so inspiring!
Project: Believer is Issabelle's latest WIP and while she's kept most of the details about it under wraps for several months, it's finally time to reveal the official title!
Instead of making you wait, I'm just going to dive right in and reveal the title. XD

Maksim Lenkov is tired of his past haunting him. An ex-Bolshevik and supporter of the revolution over ten years earlier that toppled the Romanov dynasty, Maksm has never forgotten his guilt over not saving the tsar and his family—especially a certain beautiful grand duchess. Tatiana Romanova had stolen his heart before the Bolshviks took her life.
Maksim has spent the last ten years hunting down her killers to no avail and doing anything possible to resist Soviet rule. Which is why when a young, spunky British girl appears out of nowhere, claiming she has the Soviet secret police on her heels and needs help escaping the country, Maksim is compelled to help. Especially since she says to have information that would ruin the USSR’s push for influence on western Europe and, more importantly, information that connects to one Bolshevik whom Maksim knows well. A man who was there the night of Tatiana’s murder.
This could be his chance to finally avenge the Romanovs and find peace with his past. But is his new ally all she claims to be or could she be an informer for the secret police? When truth is a crime and the OGPU draws closer, how far will Maksim go to serve justice? Inspired by true events, Don’t Let Me Go is a gripping, page-turning novel that explores the power of hope in the midst of darkness and the strength of love over evil.
About the Author
Issabelle Perry is a proud Jesus follower, an extroverted writer of historical fiction, and a homeschool graduate. When she’s not writing, you can find her dreaming of her own adventures, jamming to Skillet, or envisioning herself wielding a magnificent sword (but due to her clumsiness, let’s hope that never happens). This self-proclaimed exclamation mark enthusiast can be found hanging at Teen Writers’ Nook, a community of young authors Issabelle co-founded in 2020. She is the author of May We Make Them Proud and an editor for the Imagine and Tell Me You Love Me anthologies. What she’s probably doing right now is fangirling about her favorite books to random people or scanning the pantries for chocolate.

What are your thoughts on the title? Does Don't Let Me Go sound like a book you would want to read? Have you read any good books set in Russia/the Soviet Union?

Eee, I can't wait for Don't Let Me Go to release!!! Other than Issabelle's stuff, I haven't read any books set in Russia. What about you?
ReplyDeleteI know right?!! Off the top of my head, other than her stuff, I've read Vanessa Hall's Grace Sufficient series and those were set in modern day Russia!! XP Thank you for reading and commenting!! <33
DeleteTHANK YOU SO MUCH EMMA for helping me share the title to Don't Let Me Go! Ah I"m SO happy to be able to stop calling it Project: Believer! I LOVED reading your post! Your excitement just means SO much to me! In answer to the questions ... (1) I mean, obviously, I love the title. XD Grace Johnson is the one who came up for it, and I think it is MUCH better than the lame titles I was gonna go with! (2) DLMG is literally the book I have always wanted to read. It has all my favorite tropes and themes in it, and I feel like it's one of my few novels that I'm likely to reread after publication. (3) Hehehehe I have actually read a LOT of books set in Russia (usually around ww1 or the Russian revolution), but very few set in the Soviet Union. I haven't read really many good ones, however. Most authors trying to write russian-set stories (that aren't russian themselves) usually get a lot of things wrong in the history and culture and the characters feel more American rather than Russian, so I'm hoping DLMG will add something new to the book world!
ReplyDeleteThank you again SO SO SO MUCH for helping me spread the word about DLMG! *hugs*
