A dark academia sapphic story with a touch of Carmilla and vampires? I am all in. Saint Perpetua's College is an isolated and old college deep in the hills of Massachusetts and in this school there is a prestigious poetry program lead by a famous writer. Laura Sheridan is a new student who has just been accepted into the poetry program at Saint Perpetua and there she meets the stunning and mysterious Carmilla, a talented poet who has a strangely intimate relationship with their professor, De Lafontaine. Laura and Carmilla become academic rivals yet there is an obsession that is growing between them... and Laura begins to notice the dark obsession between Carmilla and De Lafontaine. The relationship between Carmilla and De Lafontaine is steeped in secrets, blood, and power dynamics. Laura also begins to find herself equally as obsessed with Carmilla as she's drawn into the strange relationship between her and their professor. De Lafontaine has her own secrets and agenda for the girls, but between the three of them, who what will come of their relationship and the obsessions that grow between them. This was a really fun dark academia sapphic story that gave A Lesson in Vengeance vibes (one of my favorite books) and I had a really fun time with this one because I also absolutely adore the Carmilla classic story. This was a fun mix of sapphic relationship, vampires, and dark academia! I would definitely recommend it for fans of the mentioned genres!
