'Curran writes with incredible precision on fear, desire and the insidiousness of authority' Julia Armfield
Laura Wyck has waited her whole life to be chosen, but in the meantime, she chooses a PhD. Specifically, at the University of ---, a coveted and prestigious institution where she has spent the best part of her life.
But then Laura encounters Eli and everything changes. The stranger in the library, a dream of a butch, Eli is smooth, glittering, terribly seductive . . . and they set Laura's teeth on edge. They've been tasked by the University to oversee the dismantling of everything Laura holds close, draining the institution of its lifeblood.
As Laura is pulled into Eli's magnetic orbit and bodies begin to fall, the threat of death becomes a potent, shadowy force on campus. Consumed by her newfound privileges, Laura indulges in the beauty and grandeur of Eli's world, while her peers suspect that there is something festering and rotten behind Eli's charm. Is Laura in love, or is she being held hostage?
Riotously delicious and utterly consuming, is at once an excoriating send-up of capitalism and a desperately sexy campus novel.©2027 Avery Curran (P)2027 Hodder & Stoughton Limited

Critic reviews
Swooning, sensory, and crystal-clear, Mortal Passions is, above all, overwhelmingly seductive. Laura and Eli are lovers for the ages, but Curran never loses sight of the extractions and temptations of the age we're in; this is queer vampire romance that fulfills its every promise. I devoured it. (Sara Hinkley, author of The Red Sacrament)
By turns intimate, sensual and wholly merciless, Mortal Passions is an impeccably judged novel and one that confirms Curran as a writer who will keep on raising her game. I absolutely loved it. (Julia Armfield)
