• professor x student is *not my thing* but vad deverell has me (and corvina) in a chokehold
• 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
TWs: suicide, explicit sexual content (unprotected), schizophrenia, institutionalisation, blood, murder, death, drowning, vomiting, mention of sexual assault, drugging, paranormal scenes, power imbalance, professor x student forbidden relationship.

Ok so this book was really cool. It got me hooked pretty quickly with the mystery and romance. It was also written in a really nice way. I also like the themes and how it all played out in the end.
The reason why it's not 5 stars for my is that the hero was kind a dick sometimes. I don't know. It got better though and be the second half I liked him again.
A really cool, spooky and sexy book! Just be mindful of trigger warnings.
