The Academy of the Dead

"You were kind to a man who has known little kindness in his life, and now his affection is your burden to bear." -Atticus Blackwell

A standalone paranormal romance, The Academy of the Dead is a perfect witchy read with plenty of gothic and heartbreaking confessions of unrequited love.

Full Blurb:

Some couples share everything...even their demons.

In a world where the modern meets the magical, Maddox Abernathy is the sole necromancer in a family of green witches. After attending a special college for necromancers run by the Commission of Magic Management, she returns home to recover from burning out after her finals.

When her academic rival, Atticus Blackwell, finds her five years later and offers her a chance to return to academia and uncover a lost page of the book of the dead, Maddox knows she can't refuse. Even if she can't stand him. Even if Atticus wants to put their brutal past behind them and become, of all things, friends.

But some things are meant to stay in the past, to stay buried. And this book may be one of those things...

The Academy of the Dead is a gothic romance with forced proximity, duels that turn spicy, and mutual obsession.

Perfect for fans of Jane Eyre, The Phantom of the Opera, and Lisa Frankenstein.

This is the second book in a series of standalone fantasy and paranormal romances, Haunted Creatures, Haunted Places.

Each book features new characters and a new plot, but their stories exist in the same world and around the same time.
