Enigma: A Dark Academia Romance

This book had me unhinged!!! Much like the sexy, mysterious man that is Cazimir!! 🥵🥵I love the dark, eerie, gothic writing and setting that RuNyx spins into her stories. Enigma is full of unique and mysterious characters with an even more dark, alluring and mysterious setting that makes you cautious but curious.I love Salem, she is such a unique, woman and my first thought of her as a child was Wednesday Adam’s. 😂 seemed like they were alike in many ways, but as Salem grew older I understood her loneliness and feeling like she didn’t belong anywhere and went unnoticed. She built up such high walls and became and icy shell. I love her curiosity and dark interests.Cazimir is such a mystery. So much is unknown about him, where he came from. The way he crumbles to his knees and devours Salem and claims her in public and private is absolutely delicious!! And boy the things he can do with his pencil ✏️ 🥵🥵🥵 OMG!!! 😱 I’ve never looked at a pencil in such an aroused way before until Cazimir.This book was an absolute 5🌟 read. Cazimir became one my new favorite book boyfriends, who can possess me any day. I could live in this eerie castle forever with all its mysteries and charms.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

This is another dark gothic romance, but it was also beautiful and whimsical. Salems loneliness and insecurity were relatable. The character growth was believable and made me actually smile as the book went on.This love story was so good. It had a logical pace and grew as they go to know each other, even if it was a little unconventional. Caz will have you swooning.The murder mystery was interesting. I truly couldn’t put it down until I found out what had happened and all the pieces made sense. I read this whole book in 24 hours, which is insanely fast even for me.

After not having anything new from the author in quite some time I was really excited for this book. While I did enjoy it, I think I would give it a 3.5⭐️… the book seemed to drag on a bit, and the ending felt very rushed. While this is a romance, that isn’t the main focus of the story, and the spice was somewhat lacking for me. I love the author, but this wasn’t a favorite of mine.

More than writing, Runyx works magic with words.She has a unique ability to create stories and characters that are more than captivating, they are addictive and unforgettable.Yes, after reading everything she's written I had high expectations for this book...and we all know that reader expectations can be a bad thing, a very bad thing.My expectations were high and they were far exceeded.Salem and Caz will stay with me forever, the way they grow and blossom, how they come out of the darkness finding the light in each other and in themselves is extraordinary.This book risks being the best I've read this year. I believe that only Runyx can surpass it.

I thought the book was great overall. I love gothic mysteries with gray moody characters. The only problems I had was (possible spoiler) the tattoos were never really explained but I guess it was just what they did with the girls they took. And when Olivia said “L….Kill” that was just never figured out. I also was waiting for a crazier reason this group was doing these acts and was a little disappointed. Merlin really was just a small boy.

I'm not even a little bit surprised at how much I loved this. Gothikana is still my all time favorite book, but my oh my, Enigma really sunk its claws into me. It was a spellbinding and evocative read. The moody atmosphere and eerily tranquil seaside setting immediately transported me into the pages and dark mysteries lurking in Mortimer.Salem and Caz captured my heart from their peculiar first meeting and my love for them only grew. Their fervid banter, heated tension, hidden connections, and forbidden longing turned to deep devotion healed something in me. The story beautifully weaves in emotional themes of loneliness, death, and grief that brings more depth to their connection.The plot focuses on the sinister murders and the whispers of a secret society. The suspense kept me right on the edge, trusting absolutely no one, and constantly trying to suss out who was involved. The twists and reveals were both fascinating and heartbreaking.Enigma has become another instant comfort read for me. RuNyx writes books that speak directly to my soul and this one was no exception. I can't wait to return to these pages over and over again.

Loved this story. So many secrets. So much healing. Dark, gothic school setting that is rich with history. Caz is unhinged and I am here for it. His ability to read Salem's body language was simply breathtaking. I cried for her past. Felt hipe for their future. Great story!
