Release Blitz: The Dean's List by Rachel Van Dyken

 

THE DEAN'S LIST

Rachel Van Dyken

Release Date: June 23

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

A new adult dark academia romance with a scarred hero and a school full of secrets from #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Rachel Van Dyken

She spent seven years mourning him.

He spent seven years hating her.

Neither of them knows they're hunting the same secret.

They call it the Dean's List.

Not because of grades.

Because of sins.

At Brighton University, someone keeps a ledger of the powerful. Professors. Legacy families. Future politicians. Every affair, bribe, betrayal, and crime is carefully collected, waiting for the perfect moment to destroy the people responsible.

Delilah Quinn wants nothing to do with it.

She changed her name, rebuilt her life, and has one year left before she can finally leave her past behind.

Then Jude Mercer walks back into her life.

The boy she loved.

The boy she buried.

The boy who knows exactly who she is.

Jude spent years paying for a crime he didn't commit, convinced Delilah betrayed him. Now he's back, determined to uncover the truth and make everyone responsible suffer.

Especially her.

But revenge gets complicated when old feelings refuse to stay dead, and the deeper they dig into the Dean's List, the more they realize the ledger isn't exposing strangers.

It's exposing their families.

Someone has been waiting for them to come home.

Someone knows what really happened seven years ago.

And if the Dean's List finally comes to light...

It won't just ruin lives.

It will reveal that some secrets were never meant to stay buried.

The Dean's List was the perfect quick read—packed with mystery, twists, chemistry, and just enough longing to keep me turning the pages.

Seven years ago, Lilah's life changed forever, and ever since, she's simply been trying to survive one day at a time. The last person she ever expected to see again was Jude. After all, she was told he was dead. But Jude is very much alive—and he's back, carrying years of anger and a desire for revenge.

What neither of them realizes is that they've both been living with the wrong version of the story.

I loved watching the layers of the past unravel as secrets came to light and the truth slowly emerged. The tension between Lilah and Jude was undeniable, and the mix of heartbreak, heat, and suspense kept the story moving at a great pace. It's a fast read, but it still delivers plenty of emotional impact along the way.

If you're looking for a romantic suspense with twists, mystery, and second-chance vibes, this is one to add to your TBR.

Definitely a one-click recommendation from me, and I can't wait to see what Rachel Van Dyken has in store for the next book in the series!
