Maybe I’m being a bit harsh, but I didn’t enjoy this book.

It was really hard to get into, mainly because the writing felt very basic. The descriptive language was juvenile, the storyline felt undeveloped, and the “spicy” scenes were way too cringe-worthy. I also had to keep going back and re-reading to see if I missed details, but most of them just weren’t there to begin with.

It wasn’t the worst dark, borderline fantasy romance I’ve ever read, but I won’t be looking for anything else by this author again.

idk why I thought it’d be revealed that he was a vampire and she was a witch. Turns out it was actually just schizophrenia, and not a prophetic witch 😕

This is what you called a dark-romance tale. Probably not the best, but I can say it already affords dark and suspense element within every character and space atmosphere. I thought, magic is incorporated in this tale, but everything is done by human themselves. And I didn't expect that the romance relationship is super spicy *cry* even though I already read the author note.

Some character developments are lack. There so many secrets need to have further explanation, like Vad and Corvina past live, fake Jade true identity (her name) and motives (I need more), all the bones they found in woods and tunnel, also the main characters chemistry need to be more engaged not only by sexual transaction, but also by their deepest mind and heart toward each other. I don't have any complain about RuNyx writing style, I enjoy everything. I expect to read more of her books in future.

Lastly, I like the ending, how Vad actually really loves Corvina with all his heart. Him spending his time taking care Corvina on Institute, helping her to overcome her trauma by talking to her and moving on from Verenmore even though that place is everything for him, and still marrying her despite all her flaws.

Runyx was able to write chemistry. I'm not meaning the actual actions the characters do together but you can truly feel the chemistry between the character even with just a glance at their eyes.

probably the worst book I've read. I was into it for the mystery element, but this book left me with more unanswered questions than answered ones. I don't even know what I read. So many plot holes. Characters were bland/one dimensional, the romance was cringey and unrealistic, and the writing was just all around bad. The only area this book redeemed itself enough to get a one star from me, was the spice. The spicy scenes were spicy. A+ in that department for the most part. but literally, this book answered NO questions. It just ended abruptly. don't read this book unless you want to be severely let down.

OBSESSED!!! I literally inhaled this book 😭.

She reads tarot and dislikes underwear. He plays piano and has no qualms about f'kin you on the side of the road in the middle of a thunderstorm. There's a spooky castle and some unexplained unalivings. It's giving Wednesday Addams x Winx club x Phantom of the opera with a healthy dose of hot for teacher.

"You're the mountain I build my castle on, brick by brick. You stand, I soar. You crack, I crumble"

Vibes: immaculate 😩🤌🏽
Spice: ghost pepper hawt 🥵🌶

This sat on my shelf for so long. I can't believe I waited so long to read this. It is like a Wednesday-esque themed, sort of murder or thriller mystery, Gothic and possibly paranormal romance. I absolutely loved it. And it is quite spicy!
