About this book
The first in a haunting dark academia romance about a graduate student studying botany in Dublin who falls for her professor of morbid anatomy, as they are drawn into a deadly plague threatening their world—perfect for fans of Ninth House and An Academy for Liars.

Atta Morrow has spent years pursuing the truth behind the plague. A graduate student at Trinity College, her covert research has grown into a quiet obsession that could cost her more than her academic future. When Atta’s latest risk catches the attention of Sonder Murdoch, Trinity’s infamous but brilliant morbid anatomy professor, she gains an unexpected ally—and a dangerous temptation. Together, they dig deeper into the mysteries plaguing Dublin. But as their research blurs with folklore, Atta and Sonder must confront secrets older than science before the city, and they, are consumed. Mortal Realities The Exorcism of Faeries

"I was delightfully surprised by this book. The beginning was strong, and not at all what I expected. Fantastic idea of a plot. I liked both the main characters, but the ending fell completely flat for me. Rushed and disappointing, but overall a good read. I wouldn't call it a "dark romance", but it was cute. ["
