There are secrets he must keep.

Salem Salazar is fascinated with death. The black sheep of her scandal-ridden, wealthy family, she arrives at Mortimer University as a legacy on the hunt for answers about what happened to her perfect, older sister. There, she discovers that her sister is far from the only girl to have gone missing at Mortimer. Salem will do anything to discover what dark forces are killing Mortimer's students...even if it means using herself as bait.

And Cazimir van der Waal has caught her scent. The mysterious artist and teaching assistant has a dark past, a hidden agenda, and a ravenous appetite for a beautiful, golden-eyed girl who seems determined to risk her life.

Where she is ice, he is fire. Where she is organization, he is chaos. Where she is precision, he is passion. Together they are explosive--their fates linked as secret societies and death stalk them both.

Dark Love

Wow that was quite the spicy dark romance between two damaged people looking for the truth in the mounds of secrets and deaths at Mortimer University. I could definitely see shades of Hades and Persephone with Salem being the golden girl and Caz the tormented dark artist who finds a muse in Salem. Some very sizzling scenes and lots of dark chemistry between the two but still the good mystery of finding out why Salem's sister died, along with all the other deaths near the university over the years. If you like dark academia, many shades of love that edges to the brink though still consensual and exactly what both parties wanted, with a good ending and a mystery solved, then you will like this. The narrators did a good job of bring Salem and Caz to life on the grounds of Mortimer University and the story felt very alive. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for letting me listen to this audiobook for review.
