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 🥵🌶

Save yourself. Do not read this. It reads like poorly written self-insert fanfiction. If you are looking for smut, I'm sure there is better out there. Everything about this book was problematic.

RuNyx's *Gothikana* is an absolute gem! The moody, gothic, and witchy vibes had me hooked from the get-go. It’s like stepping into a dark, magical world that you just can't get enough of.

The male lead is everything I love in a character—mysterious and intense, just like the Phantom of the Opera. He brings so much depth and intrigue to the story, making it impossible to put down.

The plot is super well-paced, keeping the suspense alive throughout. Every twist and turn kept me on my toes, and the added spice was just perfect—not too much, but enough to add that extra zing.

Overall, *Gothikana* is a fantastic read that combines suspense, romance, and gothic charm effortlessly. If you're into dark, moody tales with a supernatural twist, you’re going to love this book. Highly recommend!

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!

I liked this, but I also didn't. I told a friend at one point I hoped that the morally gray MMC fed the idiot protagonist to the lake ghosts, and I think that ending would have been much more interesting than what actually happened (what actually happened?)...I also wish Mo had been given more lines in this book. Or that it had been written from his perspective.
So what did I like? This book pairs nicely with a Pinot Noir. The atmosphere was dark and vibing. Ruins, woods, dungeons, towers, creepy shacks...those were all highlights.
