Crimson Hearts, Hallway Terrors

The opening chapter of Crimson Hearts, Hallway Terrors sets up a spooky high school vibe. The idea of Northwood High being more of a trap than a school is pretty cool. Elara’s normal routine is a good contrast to the incoming weirdness. That new student, Kael, definitely has a mysterious aura about him, I'm curious about him. The hints of supernatural stuff happening are subtle but noticeable. I'm definitely interested in reading the rest to see how this forbidden romance plays out. The ending left me wondering what would happen between Elara and Kael next. This chapter makes me want to know more about the creatures and the school's secrets. It feels like a solid start to a unique paranormal romance. I'm curious to see if their relationship can survive the horrors of the school.

I am somewhat interested in seeing how these two characters navigate the terrors and develop their connection further. The premise is intriguing enough to consider reading more, especially to understand the school's true purpose. The writing is clear, though it leans into some well-trodden tropes of the genre. Can't wait to see where this story goes and if the horrors live up to the early build-up. The opening sets up an intriguing premise that makes me want to see the full scope of this world. I'm definitely interested in reading the rest to see if it lives up to its potential.
