A decadently lush and haunting, dark academia-esque read that I loved soo much I finished in a record two days!  

With detailed world-building, a morally grey cast of characters and a fabulously fierce protagonist in Kidan, who stole my heart with her dedication to finding her sister and protecting the people she has come to care for (at any cost.) Think Jude from The Cruel Prince, but more vengeful and bloodthirsty.

It’s blood soaked and devastating at times but also vividly impactful and I loved how it makes us question the very idea of what makes a monster. It’s also bursting with secrets (secret societies) and some truly spectacular plot twists that had me in the edge of my seat.

I adored the romance too, as the chemistry between enemies-turned-reluctant-housemates (Kidan and Susenyos) was angsty and intense, in the most spectacular of ways —if you love the enemies to lovers trope (like me) then you’re probably gonna devour this just a quickly as I did. 

I’m still kind of processing the plot twists of THAT ending, but I urge all paranormal fantasy, dark academia or Vampire loving bookworms to check this out— It’s SOO GOOD!
