Loved Corvina's character growth, and Vad was hot as hell ;) but I loved seeing the protective, sweet side too when it came to how much he truly cared for Corvina.
SPOILERS BELOW
I actually really liked how parts of the mystery of the castle were left unresolved, especially the more supernatural elements. RuNyx left me wanting more, and the set-up at the very end with Corvina and Vad returning back to the castle hopefully indicates that we are getting a sequel!

The student-professor relationship was brought up in nearly every conversation: "But he's your teacher!" Or "I'm breaking the rules for you." We get it - forbidden romance and all that.
There were parts of the story that were mentioned in the beginning and only resolved at the end, and very fast.
I couldn't connect with the characters, and while the plot was interesting, the story focused more on the sexual relationship between the main characters than anything else.
I appreciate the author providing a warning page about what was going to happen, because the amount of sexual dominance in this book bordered on sexual assault.
This was like bad Twilight fanfiction, but a step below 50 Shades of Gray.

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.
