About this listen

From New York Times bestselling author RuNyx comes Enigma, a twisted Hades and Persephone meets scorching dark academia romance―a tale of love and obsession between two rivals.

There are secrets she must uncover.

There are secrets he must keep.

Salem Salazar is fascinated with death. The black sheep of her scandal-ridden, wealthy family, she arrives at Mortimer University as a legacy on the hunt for answers about what happened to her perfect, older sister. There, she discovers that her sister is far from the only girl to have gone missing at Mortimer. Salem will do anything to discover what dark forces are killing Mortimer's students...even if it means using herself as bait.

And Cazimir van der Waal has caught her scent. The mysterious artist and teaching assistant has a dark past, a hidden agenda, and a ravenous appetite for a beautiful, golden-eyed girl who seems determined to risk her life.

Where she is ice, he is fire. Where she is organization, he is chaos. Where she is precision, he is passion. Together they are explosive―their fates linked as secret societies and death stalk them both.

Enigma is a sensual, epic love story for those who also crave the frightful, the puzzling, the suspenseful, the dangerous and the dark.

Welcome to Mortimer.

The way Runyx writes can never do wrong in my opinion. I love the way their books capture your mind and make you resistant to putting it down before it’s finished. A 10 out of 10 for me.

Such a mind gripping book!

I’m not going to lie, after the last book I was unsure but I’m so glad I took the chance because this was great. The story was going at a good medium pace, I liked both the main and side characters.

Exceeded expectations

1.5 (rounded up) - I feel like absolutely nothing happened...

The premise of this books sounds super interesting: Salem (MFC) goes to Mortimer University to find out about her sister's death. Her sister (and a bunch of other students) who received a prestigious award all end up meeting the same fate - death; however, there are no signs of these individuals wanting to die by suicide, yet that is how most of them die. Caz (MMC) also attends the university and is seeking his own answers for a different different. The two end up crossing paths because of a powerful secret society.

There was lots of spice, but where was the flavor? These characters lacked any chemistry and basically only hooked up because they were physically attracted to each other. I also found it so cringey that the MFC kept saying how big the MMC's junk was and how she could still feel him the following day...gross. This book had no business being nearly 500 pages...I was incredibly bored.

The narrators for this story were fantastic and are probably what kept me going.

Narration was fantastic but the story was meh

This was everything I hoped it would be , I couldn’t wait for the release and purchased the physical book as well as the audible , it’s everything you look for in a gothic academia romance , it’s dark, mysterious has characters you can care about a great mystery throughout and a mysterious dark hot MMC. Just wish it would have lasted longer , finished it too quick .

Worth the wait!

I don’t know that I would call this a dark romance in the way I usually think of dark romance (HD Carlton type) but more of a Dark Romantic Thriller/Dark Academia. I really enjoyed the mystery and storyline. I like trying to figure out the pieces with the FMC. I loved the edging and the angst it was *chefs kiss*.

Dark Romantic Mystery!
