Gothikana: A Dark Academia Gothic Romance: TikTok Made Me Buy it!

Product Information

Throughout her childhood, she had only the crows, her books, and the voice in her head to keep her company. This book is clearly just here for the aesthetics, an angsty romance on a “dark academia” backdrop - or an attempt at one. Safety for what I did read (I skimmed a lot too) heroine is a virgin because she's been isolated her entire life. Ho già citato alcuni dei trigger warning nella trama e nella recensione però vi lascio qui la lista della spesa: suicide, murder, death, mentions of mental illnesses, neglectful parenting, mentions of sexual assault, mentions of human sacrifice.

You couldn’t help but love the guy even knowing you shouldn’t, and he was always there, watching her and keeping her safe.She was quieter usually, although she didn’t know if that was a natural tendency or a lack of someone to talk to. But after she went blind a few years ago from an accident, the admin people let her stay on, which was a mistake in Vad’s opinion. honestly this was a solid book, all the elements were just good enough that it kept me invested, but aside from the setting, none of them completely knocked it out of the park for me. Ru has a especial way with word, they surround you, the description and atmosphere clear in your mind and you can see, feel and experience what these characters do, see or feel.

The only character we were intrigued by was Ajax, and the way the book ended makes me think he *may* get a book? And with the legends and old wives tales abounding this is giving me everything I could possibly want.As she learns more about Verenmore's history she encounters the silver eyes and hair of Vad Deverall, the man that is her literature professor who has a dark reputation, and they embark on a secret and forbidden relationship. her and Verenmore just vibed and i liked that she had certain qualities that made her specially suited for the castle. Then we have our hero who has so many depths to his soul and you just hold your breath every single time that he enters the scene. Suspense, steam, murder, mystery, forbidden love, a heroine with questionable mental stability, and a hero with questionable morals, it's like this book was written just for me! When she arrives, she quickly makes friends, but there is a lot of intrigue and murder surrounding the mysterious deaths of past students and a professor that seems to have an aura of mystery and darkness itself.
