Nocticadia: A Dark Academia Gothic Romance, Keri Lake, Julie Belfield | Hardcover
A dark, atmospheric tale of deadly secrets and forbidden love.
Mortui vivos docent.
The dead teach the living.
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her. And leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me.
Four years later, I receive an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest, most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before. Those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores.
And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.
Devryck Bramwell, known on campus as Doctor Death, is a brilliant pathologist in charge of the midnight lab. He's also my devastatingly handsome professor, who seems to loathe tenacious first-years, like me. Except, his dark and enigmatic gaze tells me all the ways he'd devour me if given the chance, and his stolen kisses burn my lips with forbidden jealousy.
I crave his authority.
He aches for redemption.
Together, we're toxic. Delicious fodder for the prying eyes hellbent on exhuming the rotted skeletons of our pasts.
For the dead have much to teach, and it's only a matter of time before Dracadia's most depraved secret is resurrected.

I hate Ophelia because Blackwell should be with me 🥲

10/10 recommend!! Smut syndicate puts so much thought and love into their blind dates. So much that they reach out and look at your fable or good reads and really try to perfect your date. I look forward to this every single month

Read this in a day! Could not recommend enough. My favorite is there are sprinkles of little mermaid throughout, but other than that this is a story you would NEVER expect

Perfect for bringing my book to the beach!!!

I sent a blind date with a book to a friend and she loved it! Ordering was super easy and shipped so so fast. Highly recommend 💜

My blind date with a book was everything I hoped for and more! Unwrapping it felt like opening a gift from a friend who really gets me. The book I received was in my TBR for months! The story made me laugh, cry, and stay up way too late, but I have zero regrets. It’s the kind of date you want to tell everyone about—and I already can’t wait for the next one!
