Nocticadia by Keri Lake is a gothic dark academia romance set on the eerie, isolated Dracadia Island off Maine, where Lilia Vespertine arrives on a scholarship to the prestigious university after her mother's mysterious death from a parasitic illness. Driven to uncover the truth behind the Noctisoma parasite studied there, she becomes entangled with the enigmatic Professor Devryck Bramwell, nicknamed "Doctor Death," whose midnight labs and haunted reputation draw her into a forbidden, slow-burn attraction amid rumors and secrets. As Lilia navigates the institution's dark history of asylums, witch trials, and secret societies, she confronts family trauma, ethical horrors in scientific research, and power struggles that blur lines between science, suspense, and passion.

Jamie’s review

Excellent, creepy, spicy, spooky season read that I could NOT put down. I loved the mystery and science and gross parasites involved with this story!

Devryck/Dr Death is everything we want in a morally gray MMC. And Lilia is the smarty pants, scrappy FMC trying to solve the mystery around her mother's death.

Some great twists I didn't see coming. I could have done without the cheesy epilogue but I will allow it because I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the book. THIS IS A MUST READ!

Erica’s review

Dark, gothic, creepy academia with a taboo HOT professor/student situationship??? Ummmm take all my money. It was great and I tore through this one. I wanted to punch Dr. Death a few times but maybe only to get detention? 🤷‍♀️ This is a great one!
