calavera society by v. domino
If you’ve been around for a while you know I love dark academia romances, but I’ve also recently found that I am a big fan of dark academia + secret society. And this book had both. PLUS. it was also why choose. I saw the blurb, and I was like say less.
I thought the characters were kind of interesting to read about, and I absolutely loved Noah. I also really liked Mateo and if he gets his own book I would definitely add it to my TBR immediately. The story seemed to start off a bit slow, but after about twenty ish percent I was hooked. The tension and chemistry between the three MCs definitely kept me invested, and the spice we got was definitely worth the wait. And after that cliffhanger I am definitely interested in seeing where the author goes with the next book.
I thought the secret society idea was really cool too, I just feel like I’m missing something that is making me *love* this one. Overall, this was okay. I didn’t love it, didn’t hate it. I didn’t really care for the writing, but the pacing felt pretty good and the characters were okay.
If you’re in the mood for a dark romance with some forbidden love (stepsister/stepbrother), why choose, bully, secret society and a bit of enemies to lovers, you should check this out!
*this is a dark romance, so make sure you check the trigger warnings before reading*

The Calavera Society by V. Domino was a really great start to what I feel is going to be a mind blowing series. The characters are all so dark and devious and I’m 100% here for it.
The storyline got a bit confusing to me but I think knowing I had to pay close attention to all the different society intricacies might have made a difference to me, so if you’re reading this…pay attention to detail!
I think this book really set the groundwork for the next instalments and really gave me as a reader a glimpse into all the spice and chaos that is gonna be coming our way.
This book does end on a cliffhanger and damn what a cliffhanger it is….you will not be ready!
Val, Noah and Rey are the trifecta of sexiness and I can’t wait for a few bombs to drop in the next book. It’s gonna be a wild ride folks and I can’t wait!
Thank you to the author and Bound by Mischief for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Y’all this book was so much more than I thought it would be. The angst! The slow burn! The smut

From the first page, this book managed to capture my attention and it has yet to let it go, even days later. I knew it would, just from the vibe it gave when V. Domino began promoting it, but I was not ready for how much I would come to love Rey, Noah, and Valeria, even Matteo, our resident psychopath, who somehow managed to worm his way into my heart.
From badass FMCs with sharp tongues who aren't willing to back down, to a stepbrother willing to do anything to get revenge and to watch his stepsister break, to a best friend whose lies just continue to pile up, yet loyalty to the woman he loves never weavers. You will be sure to have your hands full with these three, as you watch the "Princesa" of the Calavera Society work to unravel the secrets behind this society all while fighting the growing attraction she has for Rey and the already existing one to Noah.
Lies, loyalty, death, threats, and corruption hide behind its residents' Calavera masks in
the town of Coventry, and its university. As the sęxųål tension and stakes rise, will Valeria survive the secret her mother kept from her and the plans her twisted father has for her? Read to find out! Seriously, go read it!
