serpentine valentine

I was born a woman.
Raised by women.
In love with women.
Until I enrolled at Acheron University, I'd never known much of men. I certainly didn't know enough to fear them.
Then one stormy autumnal night, Professor Morgan tried to destroy me.
And when we were discovered by the university President, it was me who was punished for the unwanted seduction.
But they left me with two valuable lessons.
I would never let another woman be hurt by men again if I could help it.
And when someone hurts you, betrays you, and tries to rip out your soul, there is only one remedy for the pain.
Revenge.
And mine takes the form of the President's very beautiful, very virginal, very straight daughter, Luna Pallas.
Before the end of term, I'll destroy her innocence just as her mother and Professor Morgan destroyed mine.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING 

"One of the most powerful romances I’ve read. Giana Darling blended dark academia with female rage in this sapphic Medusa-inspired romance that was beautifully tragic. She also has a writing style that is just unlike anyone else. The prose is out of this world and evokes so many emotions.

- Madison, Goodreads reviewer

"Giana has always been someone I admire for her absolutely beautiful writing and how she creates a love story, and Serpentine Valentine is no exception. Dark academia was made for her."

- Jessica, Goodreads Reviewer

"Oh my god, this book WRECKED ME. In all the best ways possible. It was dark, it was painful, it was melancholy, beautiful, and brave. My goodness, this one shot right up to my favorites list."

- Ivy, Goodreads Reviewer
