Calavera Society: Rotten Romance Duet by V. Domino
dark
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
4.0
Calavera Society is the first book in a *DARK* romance duet with multiple POV's and ends on a cliffhanger.

As an ARC reader, I do not feel it is my job to comment on any grammar or spelling errors. Therefore, my review does not take into account any grammar and spelling errors or any missing words.
I really liked the story line and plot. The book is written from three POV's: Valeria, Noah, and Rey. I love when you can see stories play out from multiple vantage points and I feel like V. Domino did a great job of switching between each POV when it was most relevant.
Valeria (Val) Calavera was a total baddy and I loved her strength and independence. Noah (Noh) was so protective and the type of best friend anyone would love to have. Rey Calavera was psychotic in the best way. Their connections to each other got deeper and more complex as the story went on and more secrets started to build up between them.
The whole secret society aspect was well developed, and the world building I felt like was original and well thought out.
I was extremely sad to come to the end of the book and realize it was cliffhanger.
I need book two stat. There is so much more I want to know! I need to know every secret of the society and characters.
Tropes:
Enemies to lovers, Bully Romance, Dark Academia, Stepbrother/Stepsister. Why Choose, MF/MM/MMF, Latinx, Cultist Theme, Voyeruism, Mask K!nk
Trigger Warnings:
Abuse/Domestic Abuse, Bullying, Explicit Language (but so delicious), Explicit Sexual Scenes, Recreational Drug Use, Blood K!nk, Knife K!nk, Alcohol Use, DubCon/NonCon, La Muerta Cult, Taboo, Graphic Violence, Rituals and Dark Worship
