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.

But I will say, the cover, binding and sprayed purple edges are beautiful. The purple and black is such a solid choice. Love the Verenmore gold foil.

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!
