3.5
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.

❇I can't give 10⭐, so I give 5⭐
✴This book is my new favorite and I'm obsessed with her, absolutely in love!
I just wanted Corvina to not give up that easily to Vad, she could torture him with waiting sometimes or something, but she was like a doll in some situations... But it wasn't a big deal, just that we could see his other side.
⚜The plot twist, in the end, was not expected of me, and I'm very happy because there are not a lot of books where I don't figure everything out.
⚜Maybe if I didn't read the description of the book, it would be even more interesting. But of course, I read 🙄.
This book is my new favorite. I loved the characters and the story was interesting too, the plot twist was not expected and makes sense.
I'm OBSESSED with the vibe this book gives and with mysticism!

• gothic elements were so well done, i was very creeped out good job runyx
• such a different vibe from the dark verse series but the writing style is exactly the same, you can tell it's a *runyx* book, yanno?
• some grammatical errors and general confusion in places (riiiiight at the end, they're somehow having sex with his back pressed against her and i truly don't know how that works)
• overall very good, i loved the descriptions and the characters and the plot twist, literally only knocked a star off because i felt icky sometimes with the teacher x student vibe but it's fine i'm fine
