Jesus effing Christ! This book is so beautifully unhinged and so freaking good.
Joined the party late and started on book 5 but being a standalone series, its all good (will read 1 to 4 soon)
So this is a dark romance with a professor mmc x student fmc, there are stalker vibes from the get go and you NEED to read the content warnings beforehand, do not go into this blindly if you are easily triggered.
Effie Campbell is certifiably insane but absolutely fucking brilliant! The way this book started and the way this book ended had me shouting at my kindle but I couldn't get enough, and now all I want is more!
Our MMC, Henry is a University Professor of Maths (I imagine he looks like Henry Cavil in a nice shirt, tie and sweater combo with glasses and floppy dark hair. And looking at the character art, I'm right) he's a little stoic and then she falls into his classroom late on her first day and he's obsessed.
Our FMC, Rebecca/Bex is a petite blonde who wants to work hard and do well, she doesn't make friends easy but she manages and her sassy mouth makes you think maybe she's not that innocent.
The way there relationship develops over talks of a secret society party where everyone wears masks and its a sexual free for all, is so exquisite and the way Bex taunts Henry into getting what he has been fantasising over is the perfect level of Brat.
The twist - GOD DAMN IT'S GOOD - not expected at all, in fact there were a few really odd scenarios my brain jumped to before it became apparent. I read this book in an hour and half, it's that good and has so much tension and spice and darkness packed into a little over 100 pages, I couldn't put it down.
It's well paced as a short read and I don't think the spice overpowers the plot. The characters are great and unique and I love the dynamic - something a bit different to what we are used to in dark romance.
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT, CANT GET ENOUGH! I'D GIVE IT MORE STARS IF I COULD.
I give it a 4 chilli rating for spice as there is dub/con and kink related scenes.

Super quick, fun and spicy read. The twist actually surprised me though, didn’t see it coming 😁
If you’re looking for a short and spicy novella (on the darker side), you’ll probably like it. Check trigger warnings.

Deliciously dark and depraved I couldn’t get enough of it! This was a quick, fun, and unhinged read that had me hooked from start to finish. I loved every bit of it!
This had me hook line and sinker. Professor/student trope? Instantly sold! This was a spicy, intense little novella with a wild plot twist I was not expecting. I loved every second of it.

Wow. Rebecca was crazy. Certifiably so. But I guess her crazy matched his crazy. Honestly I really enjoyed this book and had a hard time putting it down.

I was totally on board until probably a third of the way through the book. I just didn’t care for Bex and Henry and the way they shaboinked and their dynamic.
