Perfect for you if...

  • You love dark academia with genuine stakes and aren't looking for a soft romance disguised as one.
  • You're drawn to possessive, morally grey heroes who actually feel dangerous rather than performatively edgy.
  • You want a series you can binge where the couple's dynamic deepens across multiple books rather than resolving neatly.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer your romance without power imbalances or non-consensual elements, even as part of the tension.
  • You need standalone resolutions rather than cliffhangers that leave you hanging across four books.
  • You're looking for lighter college romance with found family vibes instead of secretive, sinister worlds.

About this book

Tell Me You Like It is the first book in the Legacy of Lies series, a dark academia romance following a protagonist whose best friend disappears into the world of the Sacred Sons, a secret society that rules their university. To find her friend, she makes a bargain with Roman Rush, the group's leader, who demands her body, submission, and soul in exchange for his help. As the protagonist becomes entangled in Roman's cruel game, his grip tightens and he works to strip away her boundaries and defenses. The story explores themes of dark academia, enemies-to-lovers romance, possessive dynamics, campus hierarchy, forced proximity, and secret societies. This book contains dark themes and ends on a cliffhanger. It is the first in a four-book series that follows the same couple. The author recommends checking her website for detailed content warnings.
