About this listen
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.

Story
There are whispers about what lurks in Witch Knell—the forest where sinners go to die. The villagers call it The Eating Woods because what's taken is never given back. Only those who've lost their senses would dare to go near it. Or the banished. Maevyth Bronwick knows better than to breach the misty labyrinth of trees, but a tragic turn of events compels her beyond the archway of bones to a boundary no mortal has crossed before. One that cloaks a dark and fantastical world that's as dangerous as it is alluring. It's there that he dwells, the cursed lord of Eidolon.

Story
When I was a little girl, I dreamed a handsome knight would come and rescue me from my wretched mother. He'd ride up on his white steed and break the curse I've been fated to carry since the day I was born. Funny how things changed over time, how the fairytale twisted into something far more crooked—and darker—than I ever imagined. In reality, my knight is scarred and broken, living alone in a castle of bones that overlooks the sea. He isn’t searching for me. He never was.

Story
Perched between branches and shadows, we watch, we scheme, fighting for a kingdom forgotten and forlorn. Until we rip her away with our claws, our prisoner, our pawn, our plaything. She’s innocent and pure, fragile and helpless…but oh so guilty by blood. She calls us beasts, wicked and evil, vicious and cruel. We are all that and worse. One of us offers her shelter beneath his wings, whispering promises of pleasure, seeking redemption. The other longs to shatter her into a million pieces, whispering promises of pain, seeking revenge.

Story
My father called them messengers. He once told me they walked among us and that somewhere in this dark and godless city, there shined a faint sliver of hope. I had only to look for the signs. Well, I’ve spent my whole life investigating the inexplicable and all I've found are the unsettling vestiges of iniquity—the evidence of another world shrouded by the obscure. Purgatory to some, where depravity hides in shadows, and girls like me are little more than delicious bites of temptation. Others call it Nightshade.

Sinner. Villain. Ruthless. These are wicked names the Prince of Envy welcomes. They remind him what he isn’t: a saint. And when a cryptic note arrives, signaling the beginning of a deadly game, he knows he’ll be called much worse before it ends. Riddles, hexed objects, anonymous players, nothing will stand in his way. With a powerful artifact and his own future at stake, Envy is determined to win, though none of his meticulous plans prepare him for her, the frustrating artist who ignites his sin—and passion—like no other.

The Obsidian Order only cares about three things: secrecy, loyalty, and power. Every man born to the founding families is bred for this purpose, to serve the society and its objectives. As a result, we are the elite. Untouchable. Unbreakable. If we make it through the Trials. I will, as long as my obsession doesn't get the best of me. This girl… If the Order doesn't kill me, she'll be the death of me. Because I won't give her up. She's mine.

Story
I'm not interested in starting something deep and meaningful, but what I am interested in is the way your body reacts to mine when we're in the same room. You probably assume the concentration on my face is work-related, when in reality, I'm figuring out which I want more: to nail you against the wall, or to bend you over my desk.

There are whispers about what lurks in Witch Knell—the forest where sinners go to die. The villagers call it The Eating Woods because what's taken is never given back. Only those who've lost their senses would dare to go near it. Or the banished. Maevyth Bronwick knows better than to breach the misty labyrinth of trees, but a tragic turn of events compels her beyond the archway of bones to a boundary no mortal has crossed before. One that cloaks a dark and fantastical world that's as dangerous as it is alluring. It's there that he dwells, the cursed lord of Eidolon.

Story
A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey teammate wasn’t on my to-do list when I moved across the country… Neither was getting locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing. Or spending the night with the sexy stranger who rescues me. But I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone so getting out of the rest of my clothes with him seems like a good way to start. In the morning, I learn the filthy-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team: he’s also–wait for it–my brand new roommate.

When I was a little girl, I dreamed a handsome knight would come and rescue me from my wretched mother. He'd ride up on his white steed and break the curse I've been fated to carry since the day I was born. Funny how things changed over time, how the fairytale twisted into something far more crooked—and darker—than I ever imagined. In reality, my knight is scarred and broken, living alone in a castle of bones that overlooks the sea. He isn’t searching for me. He never was.

If you were interested enough to skim the reviews- just buy it . So ,soooogood! Well written, unique original plot, awesome dual narration with male and female POV. NOT another stupid angsty college “young adult” smut party romance. This book is leagues above every other dark school romance ( with the possible exception of dark notes by Pam goodwen and misbehaved- both books are excellent choices to check out after this)The detail and realism, amazing world build, fresh creepy idea, amazing characters with distinct personalities…. This is a college secret society, corruption of the rich and powerful, plot twist, dark gothic horror forbidden student teacher romance. Special props to the author for writing a book with sinister secret societies…that you can actually believe! As crazy and out there as the plot is, I can absolutely imagine being right there! It comes across as very legit credible believable. If all that wasn’t enough…the sex…omfg….ummm new panties please… mine seem to have melted off! It starts a bit slow but man oh man does she deliver with the heat! Honestly Im pretty jaded at this point. It takes a lot to catch my interest let alone hold it to the exclusion of everything else. Ok at this point I’m just rambling. I have been awake all night and my brains a mess. Stop reading reviews and get the book. It’s more than worth it for those delicious sex scenes alone! Just be sure you can go somewhere you won’t be interrupted ( for the safety of your spouse or roommate- you will absolutely want, and potentially try, to kill them) make sure you have some good long lasting earbuds! Trust me you won’t want anyone overhearing 😏😉😉🫦! Last but not least, and trust me in this, don't forget to bring some extra underwear ! Buy the book and get ready for the inevitable panty monsoon that will soon be soaking your lingerie( crude, yes…tmi, probably….true? Oh ya😁😉👍🏻👍🏻)!
DAMN!- get the book,get it now!

"You're the first thing I've felt in years, Lilia. All I want to do is touch you."
Keri Lake has done it again with Noctacadia!! It’s a riveting dark gothic romance mixed with academia to create complete perfection!
The plot to this story in itself was very unique. There was a scientific piece that brought a complexity unlike most others with so many mysteries to unravel. This book sinks its claws in to you from the start and refuses to let go until you’re turning the very last page, and even then, I wanted more!
Professor Bramwell, otherwise known as Doctor Death, has had so many tragedies in his past making him who he is today, a cold and withdrawn male with no feelings. He has a genetic disease that doesn’t allow him to feel physical touch which only adds to his cold untouchable nature.
Lilia is a strong, smart and determined young lady that lost her mother a few years back and questions what she believes she witnessed that day. She captures the attention of a professor at her school, earning her a full scholarship to the elite Dracadia University, where a specific project matching her mother’s symptoms is being researched. She is determined to reveal her mother’s true cause of death.
When Lilia and Bramwell meet, they both try to ignore the intrigue they have with each other but it’s relentless. This romance is a torturous slow burn with intense passion that will absolutely consume you!
“And so the moth befriended the flame.”
That was fantastic!!!

This book is a bit gory (it's in the content warnings). It was a very intriguing mystery throughout. I'm not usually a fan of teacher/student but I felt like it was done really well in this case. First of all it's a college setting. Second it was not insta-love. This is a SLOW burn (So worth it though). I liked that the MMC showed actual hesitation. The FMC is intelligent and well written which sadly seems rare in romance. I liked the main characters and the plot was thick.
Overall great book
