Gothikana by RuNyx
5.0
Genre: dark/gothic romance
Tropes: teacher/student, dark academia, forbidden romance, age gap
TW: murder, suicide, dementia, schizophrenia
Wow, this book really blew my expectations out of the park! This was my first gothic romance and I would highly recommend this book if you are looking at delving into this genre.
I usually talk about characters first, but honestly the writing style from RuNyx was so poetic and it beautifully set the scene. I was fully enthralled from the first page and could really imagine the setting of this book

Kingdom of the Feared by Kerri Maniscalco
3.0
3.5⭐️
This is the final book of the Kingdom of the Wicked series. This sadly wasn’t my favourite of the three but overall I’m giving the series 4 ⭐️
Wrath was an enigma from the beginning but that did not stop me loving him! He basically carried the first 2 books, however Emelia finally found her voice and she was a forced to be reckoned with! The slow burn in this series was longggg, but we finally came to the end of the tension and

Tricky Princess by L.L. Campbell
2.0
2.5 ⭐️
This is a perfect paranormal read for this time of year, with all things demons, witches, wolves etc. This book had so much potential in my opinion and I really enjoyed Tricky Magic, but I felt there was no coherent plot.
Ellea and Ros had amazing chemistry in both books, but I felt it was a very one sided relationship, with Ros showing more care and feeling the time they had apart. I’m not even sure Ellea missed Ros when in Hel for the first part?!
I did love the friendships in this book, it was really wholesome and the writing is good, but the directionless plot was a bit of a let down

The Co-op by Tarah DeWitt
5.0
I have loved all of Tarah’s books, but this one was phenomenal! The biggest reason, is I’ve never related to a character more than I did with LaRynn
The Devil You Know by Elizabeth O'Roark
5.0
This is the third book in The Devils series and oh man, I’m obsessed with this one
