I devoured A Dowry in Blood by S.T. Gibson in just a few short hours. I adored it. I didn't think it would be possible, but I loved An Education in Malice even more...
This is a dark academia sapphic romance and retelling of the gothic novella Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu. It's a story about academic rivalry and obsession laced with beautifully written prose throughout. Every page reads like a love letter. It's simply captivating to behold.
"On her first day of class, Laura Sheridan is thrust into an intense academic rivalry with the beautiful and enigmatic Carmilla. Together, they are drawn into the confidence of their demanding poetry professor, De Lafontaine, who holds her own dark obsession with Carmilla.
But as their rivalry blossoms into something far more delicious, Laura must confront her own strange hungers. Tangled in a sinister game of politics, bloodthirsty professors and dark magic, Laura and Carmilla must decide how much they are willing to sacrifice in their ruthless pursuit of knowledge."
Just like its predecessor, An Education in Malice is atmospheric, lush and seductive.
