Isabel Bliss is a reception class teacher. She experiences other people’s emotions and can influence how they feel but she doesn’t truly understand her gift and has been encouraged, by her mum, to hide it from others. She often feels lost and alone. 

When a child in her class experiences chronic distress that only she can perceive, Isabel uses her ability to relieve his suffering, but his situation continues to worsen. Eventually she is forced to take matters into her own hands, escorting him home where she finds horrific signs of abuse. She saves his mum’s life and his father is arrested for the brutal torture he has inflicted upon his family. 

A wealthy family moves to town and Isabel meets the two sons. She recoils from Daniel, who is hateful, rude and emotionally deficient but is inexorably drawn to Scott, who awakens something magical, deep inside her. They are like her. They are fluencers and have the ability to sense, read and willfully manipulate emotional energies. Isabel confronts her mum and uncovers hurtful lies and deceit within her own family. 

She falls deeply in love and ultimately discovers the untold potential of her gift and the passion and power that dwells within.

Here’s What Readers Have to Say About The Essence of Bliss!

5.0 out of 5 stars – Blissful Reading

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 19, 2025

Beautifully written book; so eloquent and descriptive: felt every emotion and lived in every scenario. So absorbing . Cannot wait for sequel. Thank you Emily for pleasure your novel gave me.

5.0 out of 5 stars – A beautifully crafted love story with a subtle, enchanting twist

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 22, 2025

Though fantasy isn’t my usual genre, the delicate infusion of magic enhances rather than overwhelms the heartfelt romance. The characters feel real, their love story rich with longing, mystery and fate. Every page draws you deeper into a world that feels both familiar and otherworldly. A captivating read and I cannot wait for the sequel as I’m desperate to find out what is next in store for Isabel Bliss. I would highly recommended The Essence of Bliss for romantics and dreamers alike.

About the Author books

Emily Astillberry is an author and RSPCA Inspector from Norfolk, England. She has a degree in English Literature and Linguistics from York University and has been investigating animal cruelty and neglect and rescuing sick and injured animals for 20 years. In her day job, Emily deals with very difficult and often emotional situations and meets all sorts of people from all sorts of backgrounds. Her career provides some of the inspiration for themes and characters that can be found in her fictional work.

At home, in a very old cottage in the country, Emily has a husband, 5 children, a dog, a cat, an axolotl, 2 giant African land snails and a varying number of rescue hens, so finding time to write can be a challenge. She is happiest outdoors, growing fruit and vegetables in the garden, walking the dog and family holidays usually involve walking up mountains in summer, skiing down them in winter and sleeping in a tent whenever possible.

Emily loves spending time with her large, noisy, chaotic family, cooking meals for friends and playing board games. She always has at least one book on the go and has always dreamed of writing her own novel. She now dreams of writing more.
