Where do I even begin? There are so many elements in Gothikana that combine to create the perfect dark romance novel. From forbidden love and talks surrounding mental health to paranormal activities and a murder mystery all rolled into one, RuNyx really encapsulated all the great things that make a dark romance gripping and exciting in this stunning tale.
Without giving too much away, each character played the perfect part and enriched Gothikana with their own personalities and backstories. Corvina and Vad’s relationship journey from lust to deep love was truly gorgeous to see. Both blossomed as people because of the other, and their story is one of my new favourites. RuNyx also highlighted the importance of friendship throughout the novel, and additionally the danger in trusting the wrong people.
All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed Gothikana and would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves a spicy dark romance story!
