“I’ll love you with the same intensity that you hate me.”

At elite Sorrowsong University, hidden in the misty Scottish Highlands, Ophelia Winters is the ultimate outsider. Attending on a scholarship, she is there on a mission: investigate her parents’ suspicious deaths and destroy the powerful man she holds responsible. But everything changes when Ophelia meets Alex Corbeau-Green, billionaire heir, campus royalty, and son of her prime suspect. She’s convinced he’s a monster just like his father until a stalker emerges, and Alex becomes the only person she can trust in Sorrowsong’s secret-laden hallways.

As tension turns to yearning, Alex soon breaks down Ophelia’s walls, and her desire for revenge begins to unravel. Can she really bring herself to destroy everything he’s ever known?

With irresistible banter and a cliff-hanger ending that will leave you gasping, Nightshade is perfect for readers of Gothikana.

This audiobook edition includes a special bonus chapter from Alex’s POV!

Alex is my new FBF

Oh Alex...yes please! This MMC just had me from the beginning. His accent in the audio had me stupid.

Great dark academia story with a little bit of "sweet" spice with tortured souls...what's not to love about it?! Btw, what a great FMC name, Ophelia! Ah Shakespeare.

What you will get from this book: forced proximity, enemies to lovers, slow burn and a crazy cliffhanger! Where is Book #2?

Alex is so freaking amazing

The narration was amazing and the cliff hanger was heartbreaking!! I need to have book 2 right now

Fantastic!!

The narration was amazing and the story was even better. I cannot wait for the sequel. This had me on the edge of my seat in the best way possible!

Had me with Rugby

I hit play because a friend told me there was a rugby player. I loved the banter and the mystery/thriller aspect that was happening in the dark romance. I do think this is a book that you need to listen to and not read because there are some parts that felt a little drawn out that only the narrators were able to keep the cadence of the story going.

Fantastic male yearning

“She looks like her shakespearean namesake”. Oh my goodness that line broke my heart. Alex’s chapters hurt my heart in the best way. You have to read this!
