Welcome to Between the Covers Book Club!


We are a small book club that is all about the Booktok world! Our main choice of books are the dark romance, but we will also have a choice of other genres too!


We will try to meet twice a month. One week will be to pick the book we will be reading. The following weeks will be to discuss all of have read this far. We will continue to discuss until we have completed the book. We will try to do at least one book a month however we all know that life gets in the way and that may not be possible.


We will switch where we meet every time. One week it will beat my house, the next it will be at someone else's. We do not have to, but I feel that it would be nice to have small refreshments during our meetings.


I hope that you will enjoy your time and enjoy the new friendships that are made during this! I cannot wait to spend time with you!


Love Always,

Gothikana

Instant New York Times and USA Today Bestseller!

The Gothikana Hardcover Edition: featuring sprayed edges, a foil case stamp, gorgeously detailed endpapers, an updated map and deliciously moody art throughout.

The eternal romance of Beauty and the Beast meets the gothic suspense of Dracula in this erotic dark academia story of epic love from bestselling author RuNyx.

An unusual girl. An enigmatic man. An ancient castle. What could go wrong?

An outcast her entire life, Corvina Clemm is left adrift after losing her mother. When she receives the admission letter from the mysterious University of Verenmore, she accepts it as a sign from the universe. The last thing she expects though is an old, secluded castle on top of a mountain riddled with secrets, deceit, and death.

An enigma his entire life, Vad Deverell likes being a closed book but knowing exactly everything that happens in the university. A part-time professor working on his thesis, Vad has been around long enough to know the dangers the castle possesses. And he knows the moment his path crosses with Corvina, she's dangerous to everything that he is.

They shouldn't have caught each other's eye. They cannot be. But a chill-inducing century-old mystery forces them to collide. People have disappeared every five years over the past century, Corvina is getting clues to unraveling it all, and Vad needs to keep an eye on her.

And so begins a tale of the mysterious, the morbid, the macabre, and a deep love that blossoms in the unlikeliest of places.

3.5, solid mystery balanced with romance but I do think the villain and her motives were a bit improbable

to start i really disliked the writing of this book. the begining maybe 100 or so pages felt like a 15 year old wrote it. so much repetitive descriptions throughout the whole book and some of it just totally unimaginative. i did enjoy the plot though it was engaging and the ending was an HEA so it gets points for that. i wouldn’t necessarily recommend it but it wasn’t the worst thing ever written either 🤷🏻‍♀️

I would actually give it 4.5 stars if it would let me. I honestly guessed the ending literally about halfway through the book just cause I’m used to these kinds of books. The amount of what I was actually wanting to hear the answer of I never did and truly hope there will be another book because I truly feel in love with Verenmore. Truly the more and more I read about it despite what happens I feel truly in love with. Kinda reminds me of a Vampire Academy and Dracula meets Wednesday Addams but without the paranormal creatures of vampires, werewolves and such so is to be believed, or is it? Truly hope another is coming soon as I really enjoyed it and many things were left unanswered.

I think I’ve discovered that I’m a mood reader and I wasn’t in the right mood to read this. And that’s the only reason it’s 3.5 stars and I feel bad about it.

Gothic, academia, forbidden romance, mystery. All things I really love. However, my favorite part about this book was the quotes and the beautiful pictures at the beginning of each chapter. Practically every chapter ends on a cliff hanger. It’s a love story. It’s a true dark romance. If you’re in the mood!

Was this a lyrical masterpiece? No. But it was never supposed to be! This story was haunting, dark, spicy and had character I feel in love with instantly! It also had a twist at the end I did not see coming!
