Serpentine Valentine by Giana Darling
5.0
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
🌶🌶🌶
Serpentine Valentine is THE best sapphic romance I have ever read. Giana Darling managed to combine dark academia with a Medusa retelling in such a moving and impactful way. The beginning is very dark since it starts out with the SA of our heroine Lex, so please check your triggers. I can honestly say that these scenes, while hard to read, were so moving and relatable. Giana described Lex's thoughts and feelings during the SA in such a real and truthful way. I think many women will be able to connect/relate to this if they have experienced SA in their life.
Lex Gorgan is such a strong and badass heroine. She returns to the school after her SA to get vengeance on the professor who attacked her and the school president who covered it up. She plans on seducing the President's daughter Luna. However, she falls for her beautiful and open spirit.
I loved Luna's self-discovery in this book and how she was learning about her sexuality. She had such a sweet nature, and she was perfect for Lex. Lex needed her to bring some light into her life and show her there was more to accomplish than just beating on the predators with her Man Eater group. SA is too common, and a lot of universities sweep it under the rug. This book shows the importance of speaking out and the need for change.
Giana always writes beautifully and manages to put me through all the feels. She was very descriptive during the SA scene, and it felt so real. I loved the mentions of mythology and literature in this book. It gave me all the Dark Academia vibes.
Please just make sure to check triggers.
