Beschreibung
My life was hanging by a fraying thread, and I was about to lose everything I had worked so hard to attain. I was hopeless and defeated by the hand I had been dealt.
That is, until a letter arrived from my unfamiliar late grandfather's estate, deeming me the sole heir of his grand fortune, including Gravenhurst Manor and Hollowcrest Academy.
With nothing left to lose, I accept my fate and make my way to Hollowcrest–a town which thrives on power, legacy and secrets. Where shadows lurk around every corner, and nothing is quite what it seems.
A charming son of a founding family captures my attention. His charisma and magnetism call to me, but I can’t stop my heart from being drawn to another–the brooding groundskeeper of my new place of residence, who has a wicked grin and an even sharper tongue.
Caught in a whirlwind of desire, hatred and passion, I must follow my heart's desires, even if that means uncovering much more than I’ve bargained for.
Welcome to Hollowcrest, where fates are tethered by secrets, and love knows no bounds.

Review:
Okay…I loved this. Like really loved it—except for one person (you know who you are)
From the start I was hooked. The whole gothic academy vibe mixed with secret societies had me completely locked in.
Verena…girl. I wanted to shake her so many times and be like PLEASE open your eyes, the red flags are screaming at you. But at the same time, I get it. The way she’s thrown into this world, everything changing overnight, not feeling like she belongs anywhere–it made her feel really real, even when I was frustrated with her choices.
And Loxen?? Oh my god. He carried. The tension, the looks, the way he showed up. I lived for every scene with him. Their banter was so good, and the softer moments…yeah I was gone.
The romance had me in a chokehold. It’s that perfect mix of tension and chemistry.
The plot twists.. So good. I didn’t see it coming the way it unfolded, and the ending. Actually painful. Like I sat there staring at the page going “no…no way.” It broke my heart more than once, and now I’m just sitting here needing book two immediately.
Overall, this was such a fun, emotional, slightly chaotic read with a lot of tension and just enough darkness to keep things interesting. If you like enemies to lovers, forced proximity, and a protective MMC in a gothic setting–this is 100% worth picking up.
And yeah…I’m gonna need the next book like yesterday.
