This had Wednesday Addams meets Gossip Girl vibes. I enjoyed the story and the feel of the book. Corvina was an interesting character to get into the mind of.
With that said, I didn’t really like Vad’s character. He was creepy and a little obsessive. Like, he brought Corvina to the university because he went to see her mother based on her eye colour? There were some big character flaws I couldn’t let go of.
Also, the editing of this book needed more attention. Constant repetition of details, sentence structure… some grammar felt like it was out of a basic fan fiction that never had someone look it over. That bothered me enough to sometimes take me away from the story.
