About this book

Summer Tuatha De Daanan arrives at the elite Avalon University with a singular goal: remain invisible. Haunted by a mysterious past she refuses to acknowledge and protected by impenetrable emotional walls, she intends to breeze through her magical education without drawing attention. However, her plans for isolation crumble in the face of her unpredictable new social circle, including a feral vampire roommate and an unwavering, angelic senior who seems determined to dismantle her defenses.

Just as Summer begins to envision a life beyond her guarded shell, the ancient, power-soaked halls of Avalon take a lethal turn. A sadistic killer begins a gruesome campaign, casting Summer as the central figure in a twisted game of seven deadly lessons. As blood stains the university’s pristine corridors, Summer is forced to confront the very secrets she fought to bury.

To survive, she must untangle the truth behind her anonymous benefactor and outmaneuver a predator who knows her better than she knows herself. Amidst the mounting body count and rising magical stakes, Summer discovers that at Avalon, knowledge is not just power—it is the only thing standing between her and a final, fatal lesson.

The Dark Academia Book You Need In Your Life

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️ *Note: Please check the content warnings list before reading. “Your darkness calls to mine.” Summer Tuatha De Daanan is no ordinary fae – at least, that’s what she has been made to believe her entire life, with her unusual upbringing and her vivid blue eyes. But when she enrolls at Avalon University, and finally finds some normalcy, some peace, it’s hard for her to shake the feeling that she truly is different. And even harder to shake the feeling of being followed…being watched…being seen, for better and worse. For there is so much that Summer has yet to learn. Y’all, to say I’m obsessed with this book is an understatement. Which is fitting for a book that has a thread of obsession running through it. 🤭 But fr, it’s so, so good. It’s so clever! With a dark academia setting, this book is sexy, dangerous, thrilling, mysterious, loving, and funny. There are unforgettable characters: a self-conscious, snarky fae, a vicious little vampire, a band of angel brothers (wings and all), and a Stranger who may or may not be someone very much at the heart of life at Avalon University. Blood & Betrayals has the most heart-warming found family trope, and one of the most deliciously morally grey MMCs you’ll ever meet – and we’re only just getting started. To be the focus of his attention will make a shiver run down your spine in the best way. 🫦 And believe me, he’s watching. Y’all are going to want to add this one to your TBR immediately! Book 2, Sorrow & Strangers, drops in September 2026! 🖤 ["

Sweet, Spicy, and Utterly Devestating

"[Thank you Simon Maverick for a gifted advance review copy of Blood & Betrayals] Reading Blood & Betrayals is like eating a massive bowl of ice cream - It’s so darn sweet and hits the craving just right, but at the end, you feel sick to your stomach. Characters: A powerful FMC with fae blood, trust issues, and little self worth. An MMC who is a literal angel. He is the whip cream and cherry on top. A BFF vampire baddie who would unalive anyone threatening our FMCs chance at happiness. And a shadow stalker who is a red flag romantic. About: Summer, our fae(ish?) FMC raised by mortals, finds herself attending Avalon University as she seeks safety from a stalker ex who wants to exploit her for her powers. At Avalon, she is thrown into learning about magical runes, different immortal species and their realms, combat, etc. Along the way she finds herself a BFF vampire roomie (Alice) we are all jealous of, a yummy soon-to-be archangel MMC (Connor) who is utterly obsessed with her (and who we are also all jealous of). This book is full of academia, secrets, trust issues, and foreshadowing you won’t pay attention to until it’s too late because of the numerous hot and steamy scenes that divert your full attention. Did I mention there are murders happening on campus of girls who all look like Summer? Oh yeah… there’s that too. Thoughts: Yes. I enjoyed this book. I was on the fence for the first 150 pages, but once everything was set in place and the academic fantasy world was built, I really got into it. I thought the student “idgaf” vibes were fun and the side characters were stellar. I’m not one for cinnamon roll MMCs, but I see you, Connor Morningstar. I’m sticking to my thoughts of this book giving off Zodiac Academy, Nightshade, and Bound in Blood vibes. I do wish the book was shorter by 100 pages or so. The repetition was not needed for me to experience the same emotional impact at the end, and the world was already well built early on in the story. That being said, Sorrow & Strangers (9/8/26) will be high on my anticipated releases. Tropes: x Fantasy Academia x Murder Mystery x Found Family x Stalker ["

MY HEART

"My best friend has been begging me to read this book and I just read it and the book finished me 😭😭😭😭😭😭 WHAT WAS THAT ENDING MY HEART IS IN A MILLION PIECES AND MY EYES CANNOT STOP CRYING 😭😭😭😭 This book was 100000/10 it was so freaking good. I’m obsessed with Summer & Alice so much their friendship and understanding and love for each other. Makes me think so much of my bestie and I. My heart was out of my mf body when Alice “died” 😭 Instant horror and tears. I love love love our sweet Big Guy Connor he is all things kind and good and what our girl Summer deserves even though she doesn’t believe it her self. The spice 😏 Let me tell you Con and Sum I am here for all of it 🔥 The Stranger…. Sir I’m in love with you no idea who you are but I want all of you. 4 piercings, darkness and all. Thank you. THAT ENDING I AM STILL NOT OVER, I will be in a deep depression until further notice 😭 Some of my fave quotes or heart shattering quotes - "I-I was your warrior this time." “I know you don't know me very well, and I know you don't trust easily, but I know what it's like to feel as if you're not enough. All I'm going to say to you is.." She waits until I meet her eyes again. "You do not get to decide your worth to someone else. Only they do.” “There is solace in being the only person who can break your own heart.” “We are two jagged shards honed by the injuries dealt to our souls.” - Summer about her and Alice "Ew, but damn, you really do have the twenty-four-karat 🐱. Only you could go from almost breaking up to being engaged the next day," Alice muses. "You are your own worst enemy as I am mine. Insidious thoughts in our minds whisper falsehoods hoping to break us." "That I'm a complete mess and unable to love them as they deserve." "I'm not cut out for having people in my life who care about me." “I’ll cut your d*** off and put it in a meat grinder." Max smirks. "Jokes on you. I'm into that." ["

Youre about to have both the best time, but also the worst book hangover..

"If I could give this book six stars, I would. If you love epic romances, mystery, shadowy figures, with a found family to die for - this is for you. There is not a single character I didn't find myself loving. Urban fantasy is quickly becoming a top tier for me, especially when it's written like this. I loved the world's and the way in which they travels, the vast species like vampires, angles, fae, shifters, etc ... You get a bit of everyone. The relationship, both between our main character, and her roommate is both hilarious and exactly what I love when best friend have a big part in a story. I am absolutely salivating for book two. The ending gutted me. I will read absolutely anything these authors write. ["
