"The ending of this book was extremely disappointing. It didn’t answer the majority of the big questions. While some authors actively choose to write ambiguous endings to add to the mystery, I would be willing to bet this author didn’t know how to reasonably finish off the stories she began and left it up to the reader to imagine. Solid start, iffy middle and a very amateurish ending. "
"Okay… this is my first RuNyx book and I am in absolute AWE and absolutely IN LOVE with this book. I am such a huge dark academia fan and this was the perfect book in my opinion. Vad Deverell… ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 the man of my dreams!! Love the forbidden student/teacher romance. Little crow and the devil 🖤. The spice was perfect, the story was AMAZING! THE ENDING!!!!?? Never saw that coming. 1000000/10 for sure!"

"This book has so many mixed reviews. Personally I think you have to read it before taking in any criticisms of other people. I read it and absolutely loved it, then I saw critics and a good number of people didn’t like it. So I’d say pick it up and just read it if you’re into gothic, dark romance, and mystery kinds of books. "
"First, I want to say I really liked this book. The overall story has a dark gothica theme too it. The book seems to be themed are Edger Allen Poe’s The Raven/Crow, which I love so much. It sets the entire scene for the storyline. Second, the storyline itself was pretty addictive. I could not put it down until I finished reading. It’s got thrillers, murder mysteries, romance and spice, and some heart warming scenes. The romance and spice aren’t the sole story of the book, and I enjoyed that quite a bit, but it did give you a sense of depth to the main characters developing relationships. I want to say the main story was more geared toward the thrilling murder mystery, which had to have been the most addicting part overall. So in end, if you’re looking for a dark book with just a little bit of everything that keeps the story interesting. Then give this one a read. #gothikana #darkromance#murdermystery"
