Lethal Kiss

'Blood-soaked, sexy, brilliant'
– Bel Banta, author of The Court of Venus

Discover a stunning, dark academia horror-romance by Taylor Grothe. Lethal Kiss is perfect for the morally grey sapphic romance readers and fans of Ali Hazelwood's Bride.

Knowledge isn't the only thing she's hungry for . . .

Three centuries on Earth have taught Marcella one thing: when the bodies pile up, it’s time to move. Now a 'quiet' professor at Preston University, she’s keeping her profile low and her kills even lower. But when another academic is murdered and it isn't her doing, she has to rethink her plans . . .

Lacie knows her coworkers aren't just quitting — they’re vanishing. The only person she trusts to help is Marcella: the beautiful, aloof newcomer with a predatory grace. Together, they uncover a hunger festering beneath the campus marble that rivals Marcella’s own.

As the body count rises, so does an unlikely attraction. Marcella is a monster, but Lacie is becoming something just as dangerous. In a place built on spilled blood, they might be each other’s only hope —provided Marcella doesn't eat her partner first.

Class is in session. Survival is extra credit . . .
