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.

I wouldn’t say its beauty and the beast vibes, but it hooked me in from the beginning and it is SPICY. I sometimes needed a reading break because the spice does get repetitive where the plot kinda gets lost and then picks up again like 70-80% into the book. Some things answered, others not. One chapter towards the end got me a little teary eyed because of Corvina, whom I absolutely love as a character. I’m not crazy about Vad, sorry! He has hot moments but I guess I am not a fan of the “good girl, do as i say, i own you” dirty talk character trait lol. I am intrigued to continue the story, one bonus chapter left enough for wanting more. I like it as a dark romance recommendation.

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 😕

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.

So I will admit the writing in this one comes across a little amateurish, in my non expert opinion, and some of the dialogue is a bit cringy. However, over all I enjoyed the read. It’s a good creepy dark academia. Professor/student romance, with an interesting mystery and solid spice.
