"This will last until the day roses on my grave stop sharing roots with the roses on yours,” he declared. “I will have you even in death, little witch. I am your beast. I am your madness. And you, you’re my afterlife."

Despite the ending being mildly predictable and a bit anticlimactic, I really enjoyed this book. The author's writing style felt so immersive to the point where I felt like I was there at Verenmore University. I do feel like there may be another one in the future. 

Overall, this has spice in it, but I also wouldn't consider this to be a dark romance. It's more possessive romance than dark in my mind. I really did enjoy the Gothic and witchy vibes to this storyline however.

I wish more of the underlying mystery was revealed, but I am assuming it will be in the next book. (06/2024)

4 out of 5 stars.
