Critics Review
Blood-soaked, sexy, brilliant – Bel Banta, author of The Court of Venus
A hot sapphic campus romance steeped in blood, Norse folklore, and academic rivalry. I ate it up. * S.T. Gibson, #1 Sunday Times and USA Today bestselling author of A Dowry of Blood *
I simply could not put it down … Whether you’re crushing on a character, or rejoicing in a character’s end, this book hooks you into the lives of those at Preston University – Erica Rose Eberhart, author of Tarnished
A deliciously pulpy horror-romance, Lethal Kiss breathes new life into the Nordic undead. Weaving a tense murder mystery with the unrelenting nightmares of academia, Grothe invites us to delight in the camp joy of finding your strength by embracing your inner monster. – K. M. Enright, Sunday Times bestselling author of Mistress of Lies
Academia’s game of tenure track turns deadly in Grothe’s masterful horromance where blood and rot oil the gears of elite universities, and the monstrous hunt with impunity. Seething with rage and deeply, achingly romantic, Lethal Kiss spits out its bones with fervor, seizes its readers by the throat and doesn’t let go. A consummation devoutly to be wished. This is an always kind of thing. – Shalini Abeysekara, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of This Monster of Mine
The competition for academic tenure just became deadly. Lethal Kiss is a hungry, wickedly dark tale which will leave you begging for more. Grothe’s rich, lyrical prose weaves a tale of revenge, obsession and love which you’ll struggle to put down. With a murder mystery that kept me guessing at every turn and a seductive sapphic romance, Lethal Kiss is bound to be the next dark academia sensation. Easily one of my top reads of 2026. – Emily Cooper, author of Season of Fear
Campy and bloodthirsty with plenty of heart-racing horror, Lethal Kiss is a darkly delicious book readers will love sinking their teeth into. A propulsive, seductive read from first bite to last. – De Elizabeth, author of She Haunts Me Still and This Raging Sea
