I really enjoyed this story! However, I will say I do not see any correlation between this story and comparing it to "dracula and beauty and the beast" aside from a girl falling for a "devil" in a castle.

The whole time I thought Vad Deverel was going to end up being a vampire or something and that never happened. So that was a touch disappointing. The smut could have been a touch better, but I won't complain.

I suck at reviews, but all-in-all, a good story. Definitely New Adult vibes. At first I was under the impression that this was set in an older timeline, however it was fairly modern with random things like the use of phones and internet was stuck in. Some of the writing was kind of cringy and I sped read through a LOT of fluffy bits that simply weren't all that necessary to have even been put into writing. Overall, good book. If Goodreads would do a 1/2 star system, this would be a solid 3.5 for me but I rounded up for the sake of having enjoyed the plot twist at the end bc I never would have seen it coming. Wild ride at the end!

HEA was corny as SHIT.

Laughably terrible. In the words of World Class Detective Benoit Blanc: “It makes no damn sense!… Compels me, though.”

ok so i read this at 1 am in which i’m very sensitive to scarier things and i was a little scared 😋

though i actually loved this story, it’s refreshing to read a mystery/horror every once and a while. and i love horror/mystery that have f*cking breaks cause then i don’t get scared so, yeah.

though i was kinda weirded meh about the student guy/ teachery guy that was the love interest in this story. like, i’m very conflicted but somehow loved him at the same time. yeah.
