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.

Great narrators. Great story

The narrators of this are fantastic, probably the best I’ve heard in a long time. I liked the story and the twists, some things at the end I wish were tied up so I didn’t have questions left over. I don’t think there needs to be another book, I’m happy to have finally found a stand-alone novel that ticked all my boxes. Story, romance, mystery, spice. Best read of 2024!

Intricate story. Dark content explained deliciously.

Likes: Daddy dirty talk. Shocking content that had me gasping in horror, shame and delight. Male and Female leads are mostly on equal footing in many aspects; No meak main lead that is constantly saved by the other. Dark Academia influences with macabre highlights, my favourite aesthetic, done right. I can picture myself walking the halls.
Dislikes: Sequel?

It Started So Well !!!

Is it possible to continue with a story when you really start to dislike the main characters?

Lilliana I guess, was supposed to come across as smart, head strong, singleminded, a little vulnerable at times,
But by the end of this story I found her SOOO irritating I almost gave up.

And!

By the time I managed to plow through those last over the top, chapters, I had really had enough of these two.

A story that presented such an original idea slowly meanders into tropville.
So much so, that the last sex scene between these two along with all the flowery narratives became cringe worthy

5/5 audio performance

Another 5/5 read and the performer by the readers was amazing. Hello Professor Bramwell. It really does add another layer to the experience when you can put a voice to the characters. Absolutely loved it. You two are amazing

Absolutely loved it

A brilliant novel! Well written with fantastically in-depth characters and a plot that kept me guessing. Voice actors were perfect and really brought the characters to life.

Beautifully done

Caught in a trance from beginning to end. The actors were brilliant, throwing you into each scene as if you were in Dracadia.

Surprising addiction

What started out as a casual listen turned into a book binge. If you are into dark romance then give this one a listen.
