My Review
I am going to keep this review a little bit shorter. I liked this one but didn't necessarily love this one. I wanted to love it more than I did. I had pretty high hopes for this one but it felt lacking in the romance department. The story itself, the gothic atmosphere and the academia setting was very neat. I really liked the whole plot with the creatures in humans and making them go mentally unhinged, I loved the heroine and really resonated with her. I did the POV for the hero to be really interesting and was intrigued by it in many ways. The one complaint that I had with this book was the lack of the relationship focus. I just felt like the focus was more on the spice and the book plot and not much development on the relationship building element to it as much, it felt more faded in the background. This doesn't mean I won't read this author in the future, because I was fascinated by her world building talents but definitely needed more work on building up the relationship because I didn't quite feel those elements like I was hoping would happen.
Overall I am intrigued by this author but I do feel like this author might be a bit overrated but I still enjoyed this story overall and the narration was well done on it.
