[SPOILER] Review: 4 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's yet another one of my spontaneous read which I finished in a single sitting. I was in stuck in a reading slump for past two weeks, and then yet again I saw it's reel and next thing you know I already finished it. I liked the whole setting of the story. You could easily picture yourself in the whole Dark Academia scenario and if you love gothic/dark academia you'll find yourself reading this book. I liked Troy and Corvina's friendship how he figured it all out and reassured her, always being with her as a good friend. Him dying in the book was one of the last things I expected. I liked him and was looking forward to see him and Jade but little did I know I was in it for the huge surprise. I think it's the reason why I gave 4 stars. Another thing I liked was the fact that this book has a completely different vibe from any book I have read so far. Dark, mysterious, chilling, and full of suspense. I loved the whole setting of moutains, old wives' tales and the touch of macabre in it. Now talking about Corvina & Vad's relationship, I loved how healthy communication they had despite harboring secrets. While Vad had been hiding things and being all secretive, I liked how Corvina dived head on and put her trust in him. She knew he was evil, she knew what he was capable of, and yet she didn't wavered from her believe of Vad not being the responsibile for all disappearences when Ajax accused him of that. Oh, and let's not forget their oh-so-slow build up, chemistry, push and pull, it was all amazing and off the charts! 🔥 I felt the literal goosebumps while reading those steamy sensual scenes. 🥵 So yet again I have got no complaina about it 🤭. My favorite scenes are definitely -them meeting for the first time, -their first kiss, -their first time in car 🥵🔥 -them sharing a bath and looking over the glass panes enjoying the moonlight and silence. I think it was beautiful in a dark way. -Vad's public declaration of love (cue the swoons) -and the Night of Black Ball. I really enjoyed how the whole story unfolded, the horror elements & the unexpected plot twists, especially the Jade being an imposter and her being one of the Slayers' granddaughter was definitely the number 1 thing of last thing I expected. There's no way you could have guess or known that it's her. For a while I thought it could be Jax or Roy but never once I felt suspicious of Jade. I liked her but now I can't say the same. She not only betrayed Corvina but she killed Troy as well!!!! 😷 Overall I liked this book quite well and easily made through my favorites. There's no unnecessary drama between the two, so I'm gonna rest my case here and say, it's worth the read. ☺️ [/SPOILER]
