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.

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

Perfect juicy duet narration and story!

As long as you arent turned off by parasites living in the human body this books story is so interesting and goes really in depth making every part of the story make sense, while slowly feeding it to you. Speaking of slow THE SLOW BURN WAS PERFECT! The forbidden nature of the romance just chefs kiss <3

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.

5 out of 5

This was everything and more that I never knew I needed. Dr Death can have me breakfast, lunch and dinner would definitely recommend if you like dark academia, gothic setting, turn after turn

Loved every second!

Clever, smutty, twisty turny and the plot was flawless. Wish it wasn’t a stand-alone! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
