“The classics stay with us for a reason,” he continued. “A book doesn’t draw people together from vastly different backgrounds over the course of hundreds of years unless it cuts through those differences and reveals a deep, human truth to us."⠀

W. H. Lockwood, A Lesson in Love and Death

A Lesson in Love and Death (Endymion College #1) by W. H. Lockwood
is a dark academia cozy horror romance that is just right for the spooky season! ⠀

I adored this story so much. The imagery of Endymion College and it's large, dusty library and antique halls make my dark academia loving heart so happy. The author has a beautiful love for literature and it shows in the discussions of the classes at the college. It made me want to reread Frankenstein! Also, I'm here for cozy ghost stories, and this book is full of ghosts, demons, sexy priests, and seances. ⠀

Anna, Eve, and Candi are dynamic characters who each have secrets and mysteries held close, but they work well as a team.They were immediately intriguing and I enjoyed how subtle the romance was. Watching their stories develop was so much fun and I can't wait to see what the next book holds for the trio. ⠀

A Lesson in Love and Death is a five star spooky read that I'd recommend to everyone! ⠀
