This was so close to 5 stars but I felt like there were some missed opportunities with the ending and it fell a bit flat for me! But otherwise, I devoured this book and had the best time with it! A perfect mix of solid plot and an intriguing mystery along with some spiccyyyyy spice. So excited to discuss with book club!

I really enjoyed this book, but the ending leaves some questions unanswered, so I could see some people not liking it!

I enjoyed reading this book! It is not a genre I normally gravitate towards or something I would’ve picked up on my own, had it not been for a book club. Overall the writing was good, easy to follow, great twist. The part it lost me was the student and teacher relationship… eh. However, this would be a good read for those who liked the show Wednesday.

This book is atmospheric. The romance wasn’t great, but I loved the atmosphere so much so it carried.

And not that the romance was bad for any surface reasons, but the chemistry wasn’t great. Felt inst-lust, which isn’t my thing. I wanted more depth.

The mystery was so fun, but the reveal was underwhelming. There could’ve been more… anything. The “villain” was so… bland.

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.
