What to expect

He’s handsome, funny, and a real Romantic. Unfortunately, he’s dead.
  • Forced proximity
  • Only-one-bed
  • Time slip romance
  • Age gap romance… kind of
  • Spice
  • He falls first, and harder
  • HEA guaranteed

When student journalist Emma goes undercover to investigate a secret society resurrecting long-dead literary icons, she expects to discover nothing more than a group of college girls with Ouija boards. What she doesn’t expect is to accidentally summon the spirit of never-quite-famous poet, Nathaniel Harker.

Now, Emma’s got a brooding, besotted nineteenth-century poet following her around. But whilst initially determined to write the article of a lifetime, she quickly discovers that the lure of her very own love-struck tortured poet is hard to resist…

However, as they fall for each other, Emma realizes the sorority sisters are onto her ghostly secret. It’s up to her to keep her poet safe no matter what the cost—but will protecting Nathaniel also mean losing him forever?

Wednesday meets Mean Girls in this quirky, gothic, dark academia spooky romance.

Critics Review

  • PRAISE FOR DEAD POETS SORORITY‘Voicey, irreverent, and delightfully gothic, Dead Poet Sorority is the perfect spooky, autumnal read. Get ready to swoon over long-dead poets spouting sonnets in this outrageously funny paranormal romance!’ Keshe Chow, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Girl with No Reflection
  • ‘You had me at 'cravat'. Dead Poets Sorority is a witty, sexy concoction brimming with evil sorority machinations, ghostly cats and the hottest dead lover since Patrick Swayze in Ghost. It's utterly ectoplasmic.’ Hazel Graves, author of Four Weddings and a Funeral Director
