Nightshade Synopsis:
MYSTERY. MURDER. REVENGE. WELCOME TO SORROWSONG UNIVERSITY. . .
He’d burn the world down for her . . . but she plans to burn his to the ground.
Isolated in the Scottish Highlands, Sorrowsong University only welcomes students from the most powerful families. Ophelia Winters doesn’t belong, but a rare scholarship grants her the perfect opportunity to investigate her parents’ “accidental” death near the castle grounds.
Things get off to a rocky start when she runs afoul of the mysterious Alex Corbeau-Green – son of her prime suspect. As far as she’s concerned, he is just a younger version of his billionaire father. A monster hiding beneath a beautiful façade.
When an unknown tormentor begins to stalk Ophelia, she realizes she may not be able to survive Sorrowsong on her own. Alex becomes her unexpected ally – and alibi for murder. And as she begins to fall for the soft heart that hides beneath his hard exterior, her hunger for revenge wavers for the first time.
Can she really bring herself to destroy everything he’s ever known?
Nightshade Review:
Obsessed (adjective): being abnormally or completely preoccupied with a person, idea, or activity, often to the point of being unable to stop thinking about it.
“Obsessed.” That’s the only word that fits. From the very first page, Nightshade had me completely hooked and demanding my full attention. Autumn Woods weaved a story that had me enthralled from the start.
The dynamic between Ophelia and Alex is incredible, and it truly resonated with me. Watching them navigate their emotions while uncovering the mysteries hidden within the castle kept me hooked, and my heart broke for both of them. I loved and adored Ophelia and Alex, and Ophelia’s struggles with her mental health felt real and raw. I was constantly cheering them on – and honestly, using crossword puzzles to flirt? Are you kidding me? I was smiling like a fool.
Overall, this book truly offers everything—murder, mystery, revenge, love, and betrayal. I was so captivated, unable to put it down, yet at the same time I didn’t want it to end. I’m already counting down the days until Daybreak drops on July 28, 2026.
