Well, I figured this was going to go one of two ways… love or hate. Oddly enough, it felt very much *meh* instead. I’m a little bit disappointed but there were some good parts too.

I don’t think I vibed with the writing style and the romance seemed to have almost no build up and I didn’t really see the chemistry between the main characters. 

Even though the plot was kind of lacking for me, I still enjoyed a lot of aspects. The mysterious school and the history behind it kept me intrigued. And I love the gothic feel!

I wasn’t a fan of Vad, I felt like he was kinda childish and way too possessive but not in a hot way. And for some reason, the spicy parts were a little cringey too. 

I didn’t have a terrible time or anything. I just don’t think this was my vibe.
