I recently finished Nocticadia and I freaking LOVED the premise of this book!! The gothic vibes, the university, the medical research of a terrifying parasite, the mystery; everything! However, the second the romance was introduced the story went severely downhill for me. Not because of the romance or spice, I usually love me a bit of both. But in this case, a seriously interesting plot was lost when certain characters got together and the ending felt like a rushed and cheap thriller novel. Does anybody have recommendations for something similar that I might like? Anything and everything is appreciated!🥹

Not familiar with Nocticadia, but based on the Goodreads summary I’ll recommend Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo. Main character is inducted into a secret magical society at Yale. Big dark academia vibes with gothic atmosphere and academic setting. The series is ongoing, book 3’s release date is not yet announced.
