I’m looking for recommendations for books that have the same general vibe as these two. I’m talking a dark academia, most everyone is morally ambiguous or an awful person, murder mystery, tense and suspensful kind of book. Especially with a heavy focus on one area of study. I’m a big fan of Shakespeare and have read a decent number of ancient Greek myths/classics so these books being based on those was a big plus, but I’m ok with any focus really, as long as it’s generally accurate and well-researched.
It’s worth noting that I did not like If We Were Villains. I loved the concept, but I thought the execution was lackluster and that it was poorly written and plotted. I’m not looking for something like that in terms of how the book is, but what it could have been.
I loved the writing style of The Secret History.
I’d prefer adult, but YA is fine too. Also nothing too heavy on romance (cough no smut cough)
Thank you so much in advance 😀
