How have I not heard more about this trilogy???? This was such a wild ride! A taboo prof/student romance with tons of spice and mysterious elements. Tessa is a new grad student at Oxford University, but her motivations have nothing to do with academics. In a plot to uncover her deceased sister’s tormentor Tessa uncovers age old Oxford secrets and thrusts herself into a steamy relationship with Saint, her professor and well known rake. This had all the things. The perfect dark academia setting laced with high smut and sexual tension in a world where NO ONE can be trusted. I did find the FMC to be a little too oblivious in certain areas, but I absolutely loved these characters. This does end on a cliffy, so on to book 2!
