I was 65% of the way through and realized there was no magic in this book (I just assumed it was dark fantasy by the cover art and title and school with four houses). I wish it had supernatural elements because the FMC was very naive in building a case against an infamous titan who worked with the Mafia. She tried to solve a mystery but was missing some Hermione instincts and craft. This did pick up when the love story took hold and as a couple, they were very sweet and savoury (the pocket hanker chief? Yum).
For part two, less enthused to pick it up because I’m not sure how this story fills out another book and I’m nervous how people will likely die in whatever is building. The stakes feel hopeless in defeating the bad guys because they are so violent but I did love the shadow daddy main male character so I would read if it’s mostly his POV moving forward.

I loved this book so much!!!! It remined me of Enigma by Ruynx and I loved that book, so I was super happy to get more books that have the same vibe. I loved the murder mystery with dark academia vibes. The characters and relationship were everything and more, absolutely perfect and kept me glued to the pages. This was a book that I wished I could read for the first time again. I cannot wait for more of the series to come out! One of the best books I’ve read this year. 5 out of 5 stars, wouldn’t change a thing.
-Murder Mystery
-Dark Academia
-Multi/ Dual POV
-Forbidden Romance
-Enemies To Lovers
-He Falls First

Thank you for the ARC, Netgalley.
