I loved reading this book. It definitely kept me interested and coming back for more. It was a little creepy and mysterious, but not over the top. Loved the little spice too!
Please make a part 2!!

The book is physically beautiful but the writing seemed to be a little much at times and tried hard to be thought-provoking, etc.
Fantastic

I love this book! I’m a mom so whenever I have a chance i’m reading it give it a try you might end up liking it. I couldn’t put it down some nights how good it was can’t wait for book 2.
Do not spend money on this book.

This is the worst published text ever. My friends and I read this for a book club and not only did we all end up angry at the end, but we all agreed we lost IG points along the way. Like we all have read fanfictions on AO3 better than this book. Read ANY other dark academia book, I promsie you will be better off skipping this one.
Love the designs!

The book itself is stunning!! I bought it for that alone it’s on my ever growing TBR list but if you are looking for something special to add to your shelves, grab it!

The pages in the book were not lined up properly. Also there was damage to the cover since the book was loosely set in the box
Pick it up!

I’m not the type of person who just reads books for fun but recently I have gotten into reading because I have nothing else better to do. When I saw the sprayed edges and how beautifully drawn the cover was, I had to pick it up. I guess you can say I judged a book by its cover and boy was it a good judgment! First couple chapters was a bore tbh but after those first couple chapters, you’re in for a treat! Overall, great ‘smut’ book ;)
Pick up is great

This book had a great representation of mental health struggles. I truly enjoyed the mystery sci-fi characteristics in this book. I normally do not read mystery but this one was well written and enjoyable.
RuNyx is the Best!
