Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Story
Long ago, Requiem was plagued by war and abandoned by the gods but Death saved the suffering people, giving each soul a hundred years of immortality. With that grace, he also sent two Maidens. One of Life, for healing and comfort, and one of Death, the only person in the world with the ability to kill. Generations later, the Life Maiden is missing and Princess Deyanira is nothing more than a trained weapon. A hunter. A murderer wrenched into Death's dark court to have the name of her next victim seared onto her palm.

They say eyes are the windows to the soul—but when he looks at me through hues of slate-green and flaring blue embers, I'm terrified of what's watching me from behind his clashing gaze, something primal and feverish that threatens to melt me like fire in ice. I fear falling into Kallum Locke's pitch-black soul. But after I'm called to a crime scene to investigate the most gruesome act of violence to descend on the legendary town of Hollow's Row, I have no choice but to turn to Kallum, to the man I had locked away in an asylum for the criminally insane.

When I was a little girl, I dreamed a handsome knight would come and rescue me from my wretched mother. He'd ride up on his white steed and break the curse I've been fated to carry since the day I was born. Funny how things changed over time, how the fairytale twisted into something far more crooked—and darker—than I ever imagined. In reality, my knight is scarred and broken, living alone in a castle of bones that overlooks the sea. He isn’t searching for me. He never was.

He’s cold-blooded, manipulative, and savage. The worst part is that no one sees his devil side. I do. And that will cost me everything. I run, but the thing about monsters? They always chase.

Publisher's Summary
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 while 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. The moment he crosses paths with Corvina, he knows she is a danger 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. Corvina is getting clues to unravel it all, and Vad needs to keep an eye on her.
So begins a tale of the mystique, the morbid, the macabre, and a deep love that blossoms in the unlikeliest of places.

really wish it was a duet narration
Really wish it was a duet narration so they made the best use of both narrators. Really didn't enjoy the female narrators version of MMC's/Vad's voice. I guessed the big reveal very early on in the story which was disappointing. Overall an interesting and enjoyable story.

Great setting but the relationship felt rushed and the ending was a bit meh. Plot took a big backseat to spice.

A hauntingly beautiful dark romance
Gothikana was such a hauntingly beautiful dark romance novel. It was my first true gothic or “dark academia” romance and I had such a good time. The atmosphere of this story was impeccable, as usual for RuNyx. The narrators did a really good job of conveying the characters emotions. I do wish that we’d gotten a little more character building and relationship development but the mystery subplot was still fun, even though I did guess the biggest part of the twist I wasn’t mad about it. I think that some more narration from Aiden or a duet narration would have been my ultimate preference for the performance of this but it was still really solid and I had a fantastic time. RuNyx has once again solidified herself as a favourite author for me.

Beautifully Gothic
Modern yet nostalgically Gothic infusing dark
Imagery, pallete, plot, a forbidden love story and settings which is heightened by the dark history and mysteries surrounding the university and the presense of the paranormal, while the characters prove to be endearing. This one got me out of a reading rut!

I loved the book as a story, the female reader knows exactly how to keep you in the book, you cannot tear yourself away when the male reader speaks, I cannot recommend this book enough. Absolutely A+ for those who need a book that holds you.

Loved this story I want more!
As much as I agree with the other reviewers regarding narrator and it needed to be a duet read. Which I thought it was when I seen who was narrating the book, both great voices but shouldn’t do the other sex’s voice… but it wasn’t worth giving this book anything less then 5 stars because it was such a great story I couldn’t stop listening, This was the best thing I’ve read since haunting Adeline and the forth wing. And it got me out of my book slump. It’s a must read !!!

I'm so not done with this story. If I could give this book 10, I would. It's easily in my top five reads of the year. I could not put it down, and I devoured it in a day. The story and enigmatic characters were engrossing.

This is the second time I’m listening to this and I just love it so much! I think the voice actors did a great job but I wasn’t in love with the females voice for the MMC - was a bit much. Otherwise it was great!

Ohhh the mystery and intrigue in this is so addictive!
I had to keep turning the pages. The gothic, witchy vibes we’re definitely up my alley. The tabøø, the tension! So passionate and consuming. The details, the delicious way everything was written, I could see it all playing out in my head so perfectly. Vad! Wow! He’s the teacher I didn’t know I needed in my life! Arghh I loved it all. Check TW’s but loved it!

I loved this story but the performance was shockin
This was my fave read of 2022. So I decided to listen to it in my day to day on audible. I am so glad that I read it first because the performance in this, is so cringe, I would have hated the book if I just had had Audible the first time.
Scarletts portrayal of Vad is just baffling, why does he sound like that? Is this how you imagine your tall, dark and handsome men sounding? And the orgasms she puts on during the read 😳.
I still love this book, the story and the romance but I unfortunately won't be listening to the audible again. Which is a shame because I usually love to listen to my faves on repeat.
