By RuNyx
Dark academia, romance
My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3.25 stars)
Salem must uncover secrets. Caz must keep secrets hidden. Salem is fascinated with death, and attends Mortimer University to hunt down answers.
❤️ I absolutely loved the setting of this book! I also really liked the premise, and characters of Salem and Caz. I felt like this book had such potential and started off strong. I was very intrigued at the mystery surrounding Caz and Mortimer University.
💔 Despite such a good start, the book just fizzled for me. Once things started getting answered, it felt very rushed and was just too much. I feel like there was just so many amazing ways this could have gone and although I enjoyed the journey, the last quarter of the book really fell flat.
🎀 This is my first dark academia read, so I feel new to the genre. It was good enough to have me wanting to find more dark academia recs! I won this from a Goodreads giveaway which was a perfect way to be introduced!

Reached the end and still want sure how I felt. All I know is I liked it more than Gothikana.
Love Kaz. But unhinged fictional men are my type so

The only book that’s been able to get me out of my reading slump. AND OH MA GAWD. If I could give it 6/5 stars, I woulddddd.
When I saw this, I knew I had to read it. “Gothikana” was SO good and I knew this one was going to be even better.
The murder mystery, the LOVE of the characters, the twists and turns with every chapter. STUNNING.
More books need to be like this. More. Please. RuNyx, I know you’ve got more stories to tell!!!
I was so honored to get an ARC of this, literally SCREAMED with excitement. I recommend “Gothikana” SO much, I HAD to read “Enigma” and I woulda fought anyone who tried to tell me no LOL

Overall, I really enjoyed the story and mysteries of this book. It kept me wanting to read more. It definitely gave me Wednesday season 1 vibes, almost like it was heavily used as inspiration. Some of the writing was extremely corny, however, and made me audibly say “ew” or crinkle my nose. But I did enjoy it and would like to check out more books from this author.
Why was I bored the entire time? 😭
This is the 4th RuNyx book I've read and im thinking her writing is just not my favorite. Its me, im the problem.
