So if you guys know me, I freaking love RuNyx, her darkverse series is delicious (Tristan can get it any time and day of the week). So when I saw she was releasing a DARK ACADEMIA novel, a trope not really done in new adult I was gassed, but this book fell through in the last half for me. The driver shrugged. “They got a boy they send down to town, generally. To send letters, use the internet, and such.” Constantly calling her his “little crow” ….like boy you are SO creepy and your “single grey streak” … you will never be stacy london The unique world-building was different from what I usually see in darker books, and I loved every second of it. The plot twists and the whole gothic vibe were so intriguing! Bras and Corvina were not friends. Having grown up the way she had, all alone with just her mother for company, bras had seemed necessary only in a while. Panties she wore every day except when she just didn’t want to.”Corvina or Vivi is such an amazing character. She is unique and accepts her uniqueness. She is who she is and she would not lower her standards because some may find her odd. Her journey with fear and mental heath is very interesting. She is not a damsel in distress, she is a badass who will fight for herself. When evil stories of humans disappearing every 5 years cause their worlds to crumble even further and Corvina begins to uncover clues that may separate truth from myth, can they trust each other to unravel the centuries-old mystery? As Vad’s secrets are revealed, Corvina is able to discover if she is really trying to solve the mystery or if he is the real reason behind the evil madness brewing in the castle.

It was sad how she was just reduced to the girl with purple eyes when she could've done so much more with the mystery plot of the disappearances rather than the 360 degree turn of never finding out what happened and shifting it all to Jade being the reason for Alyssa/Troy murder-suicide all because Jade's demonic brain thought her and Vad were soulmates lol wtf is up with that wattpad shit??? My issues were with the story and characters. I just didn't care about any of them. Corvina was a little bland and I couldn't warm up to Vad at all.After losing her mother, Corvina receives an admission letter from the University of Verenmore. She's lived most of her life as a recluse and yearns for just a touch of normality so sees this as an opportunity for a fresh start. He was... magnificent. Beautiful in the way pain was beautiful, because it tugged at the chest and made something visceral come alive in the stomach and caused blood to simmer in the veins. Enchanting in the way she imagined dark magic was, because it twisted the air around it and warped the mind and overpowered the senses. Haunting in the way only very few living things could be, because it sent a shiver down the spine and cloaked itself in the darkness and fed on the energy around them.” high-class techniques for making any hero seem protective vs readers invested in the couple's forbidden relationship.

I'm pretty comfortable saying this is the worst book I've ever read. I know I keep making little edits to this review here and there but it's just because it's been nearly two years since I read this and I still think about how bad it is at least once a week. If I could unread one book in my life, it would be Gothikana.

Original, innovative, and unlike anything I've read before. This dark academia romance is pulsing with heat, darkness and mystery." ―LJ Shen, Wall Street Journal bestselling author I won't say much more because it's the kind of book the less you know going in the better! I had so much fun finding answers along the way, being confused, and then on the edge of my seat when a crumb of information with given that could answer our questions. There's a happy ending by the way! The tension between Val and Corvina was exceptionally well written. Val is telling Corvina to stay away from him but also being the one who gravitates towards her. While Corvina is so courageous and calls him out on his behaviour despite battling with her own attraction to him.

Little Corvina had heard all the rumors, but she knew they were untrue. Her mother wasn’t a witch or a freak. Her mother was her mother. She just didn’t like people. Corvina didn’t like people either, but then most people in town weren’t very likable. For as long as she could remember, her mother had taken her to a clearing a few minutes away from their little cottage every morning to feed the crows. Her mama told her, on one of her good days when she was speaking, that they were intelligent, loyal creatures with the spirits of their ancestors, and they watched over them from the skies during the day, just like the stars did at night. Imagine me standing there smoking like Mount Vesuvius, because that's what I like to associate myself with when I'm frustrated and mad. Corvina is such a badass character omg i love her! And Vad?! ughh i want him so bad it’s not even funny 😩 they are such an iconic duo and the ending omggg 🤧🤧🤧i’m in love with them Corvina grew up in an unconventional manner raised and homeschooled by her schizophrenic mother that doesn't like people or to speak more than necessary.
