Gothikana‘s sex scenes and mystery will keep romance and erotica aficionados happy. However, Gothikana fails to explore the full richness of its gothic world.

Gothikana recently entered the bestsellers lists in January 2024!

Thoughts:

• Gothikana delivers on erotica and mystery with explicit scenes and good plot twists.
• Dialogue reads like fanfiction: at times immature and corny.
• The world of Verenmore University has potential but is underdeveloped.
• Many questions about the mystery at the heart of the novel are purposefully left unaswered.

Synopsis (courtesy of Bramble):

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 old, 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 path crosses 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 over the past century, Corvina is getting clues to unraveling it all, and Vad needs to keep an eye on her.
