This is a slow burn dark romance I liked a lot! It sucked me in and kept me engaged the entire time. Also, I liked the writing style, where in Gothikana's writing style was not for me at all!  The plot was good, but the ending was kinda rushed and underwhelming. If this sounds good to you, please look up triggers before picking it up. It's a dark romance and discusses heavy and dark topics.

As for the audiobook, it was excellent. Highly recommend it.

Thanks to the publisher for a copy of the ebook and audiobook in exchange for my honest review.

Ok where do I begin 🤔
First I was bamboozled by the cover, thinking this was a dark romantasy, boy was a wrong.
Second, this was a mash up of the movie The Skulls, with an Edward vibes MMC.
The whole book had me saying "WTH is going on at this school".
Then when stuff was revealed, it was very anticlimactic.  Like seriously?
I was left feeling underwhelmed and wanting a different outcome.

This had the potential to be so good but it fell so flat. I kept reading, waiting for something to happen and hardly anything did. And when something did happen, it was so underwhelming and anti climatic because it was hinted at throughout the whole book. This book was so insta lust which turned into insta love.
I don't really feel like doing some elaborate review. 
Salem- I really liked her as FMC. She was unique and had layers to her and was complex yet fleshed out. She was true to her character but became better throughout the book.
Caz-was okay. I just felt very meh towards him throughout the whole book no matter how the RuNyx tried to portray him. 
Loved Salems, friends and her mother was okay. 
I didn't believe Salem and Caz's love or romance at all. The insta love that turned into insta love didn't help with that. Their connection felt random and off. I didn't care for it.  Hopefully the next book by runyx is better.
