5.0

First off, this dark academia book is so gorgeously gothic, the artwork is beautiful, and the world building sucked me into its atmosphere. RuNyx’s descriptions of feelings, features, and emotions had me swooning! 

In the characters, I related to Salem so much. The relationship with her family, the loneliness & self doubt, are all feelings I have personally dealt with. The healing journey she took and the relationship she built with Caz sparks hope.

I love a good mystery and this kept me guessing. Though there were some things I clearly saw coming, there were plenty of WTF moments. 

I bought the book because it was pretty, and Im so glad I did! I cannot wait to read Gothikana (also purchased for the same reason), even though I know that came out first. 

Another ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read for me!
