Publisher's summary

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 received 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.

Nocticadia is a standalone dark academia tale of deadly secrets and forbidden love.

Dark and perfectly twisted in all the right ways

Keri Lake can do no wrong with dark romance. This story pulls you in like moths to a flame. The pacing of secrets that are revealed throughout this book is expertly done. The connection to another of Keri's books, 'Master of Salt and Bone', makes this fictional world she built even bigger and full of possibilities.

Words cannot adequately describe how dead on Aaron Shedlock and Stella Hunter are as the voices of Devryck and Lilia, especially with this being a duet narration. Holy He11, but this audiobook does an amazing job of bringing this already fantastic book to life!

The amount of twists and turns kept me stumped!

I' am usually the type that figures things out before time in the plot but this astounding novel kept me guessing and gasping the entire time. There was the perfect amount of spice and the plot was mind blowing! 10 stars

Loved

Dark academia has a hold on me. Loved these characters and the science aspect of it. Good story and steamy scenes. I loved both narrators voices.

•age gap
•touch her and you die

Thoughts:

I usually love Keri lake and her books because they are some of the best spicy books that have amazing plots. But this book felt SO LONG. this was almost 700 pages and it felt like 700 pages. The spice was really good when we finally got to it but it took so long to get there and the the mmc was being so broody I wasn’t as into it. I almost dnfd this book a couple times at the end because I just didn’t care as much and I wanted it to be done.
