Worth reading? Sure.
Better than Gothikana? No.

While gothic romance isn’t typically my go-to trope, I do enjoy venturing into the darker corners of romantic fantasy now and then. Having enjoyed RuNyx’s Gothikana, I didn’t need much convincing to pick up Enigma. After reading some reviews, this seemed like one of those books readers either loved or really didn't.

That said, it took a while for me to get fully invested. The chemistry between Salem Salazar and Cazimir van der Waal (Caz) felt a bit slow to build, and although the mystery was present from the beginning, it didn’t immediately hook me. But once it did, the pace picked up and the story found its rhythm.

I enjoyed the author's smooth, engaging writing style, and the quotes at the beginning of each chapter added an extra layer of depth and atmosphere. Without spoiling anything, I’ll say the book delivers multiple mysteries, secret societies, and enough twists to keep me guessing until the end.

Will I re-read it? Probably not.
Was it worth the read? Absolutely. A solid dark romance with an intriguing edge.

Might pick it up again at a later time. But for now the plot is too nonexistent and the characters bore me…

The Scene. The Setting. The Characters. The Mystery. Suspense. Thrill. Spice.

I knew when I picked it up. When it had Runyx I was in for a baddie.

It was delivered deliciously. I loved it.

A tasteful slow burn that was dedicated to the plot, the story, the building. the spice that added Chefs kiss to make the characters even more believable, alive.

After having read Gothikana, I KNEWWWW Enigma was going to be fabulous.

What's even better is these books are standalone and you get a beginning, a middle and a fantastic ending all wrapped in one juicy story.
