Struggling with rating this one because I think the concept and plot are very good but weren't fully developed / got lost in the TERRIBLE editing and the smut. Story gives off a darker more mature version od Wednesday vibe so I had high hopes. Seriously question if this book was edited at all. One page she calls them cookies the next page it's biscuits. Characters are introduced twice with contradicting statements first their seniors then 100 pages later they're "sophomores in their second year" which is not only contradictory but why do we need a definition of sophomore?

2.0

Clearly never saw an editor, was wrapped in pretty packaging but full of plot holes while also not having much of a plot. Very disappointing. Particularly the negative implications and claims about mental illness.

3.5

 

I really enjoyed this story! However, I will say I do not see any correlation between this story and comparing it to "dracula and beauty and the beast" aside from a girl falling for a "devil" in a castle.

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.

 5⭐
 ❇I can't give 10⭐, so I give 5⭐
 ✴This book is my new favorite and I'm obsessed with her, absolutely in love! 

✴The dark academia vibe, this book is giving me is now one of my favorites, and I didn't even know I will like it that much, that I need it that much! 

❣The characters were interesting and had something in them, that I got addicted to from a few chapters: 

❣Corvina is such a strong character and we can see her character development! Also, she is interested in all her witchy things and these voices in her head! It was so interesting to read and  I don't know if she saw shadows, heard voices, or all this was her imagination, and these things never happened.
 I just wanted Corvina to not give up that easily to Vad, she could torture him with waiting sometimes or something, but she was like a doll in some situations... But it wasn't a big deal, just that we could see his other side. 

❣Vad. Damn Vad...He is that character that you don't know trust him or not, and I figured him out just in the end when the story ended... He is such a secret, hot, interesting character... Damn... Also, we can see that he is cold in the beginning, but then he finds himself falling in love, and he changes... In other words character development. 

⚜The story is interesting and I didn't read anything similar. It was interesting to read about murders and wonder why they happen and what is responsible. 
⚜The plot twist, in the end, was not expected of me, and I'm very happy because there are not a lot of books where I don't figure everything out. 
⚜Maybe if I didn't read the description of the book, it would be even more interesting. But of course, I read 🙄. 

➡I'm conclusion:
 This book is my new favorite. I loved the characters and the story was interesting too, the plot twist was not expected and makes sense. 
 I'm OBSESSED with the vibe this book gives and with mysticism!
