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 olden, 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 paths cross 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 for over a hundred years, and Corvina is getting clues to unraveling it all, and Vad needs to keep an eye on her.And so begins a tale of the mystique, the morbid, the macabre, and a deep love that blossoms in the unlikeliest of places.

Přiznám se, že ta knížka se četla výborně. Ta atmosféra univerzity Verenmore je úžasná, napětí tu autorka fakticky dobře buduje a ta přitažlivost mezi hlavními hrdiny je skvěle napsaná, jenže... A tady přichází na řadu můj kámen úrazu, protože já prostě vztah učitele a žákyně nemusím. Nikdy to moje oblíbená trope nebyla a když máte číst o tom, jak si to Vad vesele rozdává s děvčetem, co má teprve svoje první zkušenosti, no prostě se mi to příčilo. Každá intimní scéna mi přišla jak špatně napsané por*o a nejradši bych hlavnímu hrdinovi strčila špinavou ponožku mezi zuby, aby byl zticha. Co mi celou dobu drželo pozornost byla ta záhada kolem sídla a to se mi fakt líbilo.
