An author being allergic to the word “said” is an immediate red flag for me. Characters shouldn’t be whispering and murmuring and purring all over the place
@@brophaner this, but also the purpose of dialogue tags is to help the reader keep track of who is saying what. “Said” is an invisible dialogue tag, meaning your brain just glosses over it, but all those elaborate synonyms are not, so it distracts from the dialogue.
Alternate ending *Teacher falls to the ground and screams as MC slowly turns into a bony fish* *Deep ominous voice that booms throuout the trees* blub blob *the fish screams* *the students run away screaming, as the Fish makes it’s way to the lake waddling on the fins*
No I think in this book it would continue like this: Mr Vlad Drăculea Rouge (I forgot his name, but I think this will work aswell) glimpsed at her violet eye with a stripe of confusion but lust. He slightly brushed against her bald head with his strong dominant alpha thumb. When he took it down Parmigiana Reggiana (forgot her name too) looked deeply into his male orbs “ you don’t like me now, do you, do I disgust you?”. Additionally she hid her magenta coloured eye from him with her bear foot. “No” he answered directly but masculine with his deep male voice since he is a man “you don’t. You adore me. You drive me mad. This..” he pointed between him and me with his strong male muscular veiny hand “this is madness” he barked. “You are madness my little bony fish” he grinned with a erotic tension between him and my bear foot.
"she breasted boobily down the stairs" Boy, did you write this yourself? Son, you're hired!! I'm looking for a ghostwriter for Mr. Trump's autobiography, and I want it on my desk by Monday. You'll be the next Herbert Hemingway, kid
perfect!...why don't we all just start calling them "boobily" novels? and then the description would be exactly what she said in the video: "fan-fictiony writting, poorly written smut scenes, mental health issues and romantization of abusive relationships". That would be perfect, right? And then we can finally have them be separate from regular books in any other genre, and life will finally make sense. Bc they're like 1% (maybe) of fiction books, but somehow have ended up with wayyyy too much media attention. It's not fair to expect them to be real books, and hold them to that standard. People expect them to have normal writting, spell checking, grammar, realistic characters, a plot, etc... and that's just not typical for Boobly books. We're holding them to a standard which is just unfair... clearly. It's like expecting Shakespeare from a bathroom wall.
Preach. I think it’s very sweet that Leonie avoided kinkshaming by acknowledging that every folk has their own stroke and that’s fine, but when does it stop? So much romanticisation of these toxic, manipulative people is rampant throughout literature - everywhere I see mafia stories and toxic werewolf alphas and billionaire playboys, it just gives me the ick. When fiction affects reality, the problem begins. I believe unironically that every book with this romanticisation featured should have a disclaimer at the beginning making it clear for readers that this is FICTIONAL and that people acting like this in real life is not okay.
@@SteampunkHorse I've read quite a few mafia story, but i've been able to sort the good ones from the bad ones. Well, more specifically, the ones where the FL acknowledges that the ML isn't being mysterious he's being a bad person.
I can’t explain why, but ‘the wet slaps of their skins the only sounds in the room’ while they’re in a FOREST and she’s against a TREE just completely sent me
Also “wet slaps of their skins” is quite possibly the least appealing way of describing sex possible. I’d imagine someone would write that to paint a sex scene as disgusting, not for SMUT
"You wanna know who I am?" He asked her harshly. "I," slam. "Am," slam. "Madness!" He put a hand on the back of her neck and suddenly slammed her into a tree, and she yelped. When your scene reads like an episode of Incredible Hulk.
This book would have been a hundred times better if it had a little author's note at the end of each chapter saying something like "omg sorry i didn't post for so long, you guys!

@@schirry5144 omg yes And it needs those weird interactions with the author and the characters like author: hehehe we're ending at a cliffhanger here!! corvina: srsly, woman? y don't u just let us get together? author: becoz I'm evil mwehehehe >:) the teacher guy (forgot his name lol): uggghh -_- this is what we have to deal with author: okkiieee I'm off to skool now!!
"all he did was explain the english syllabus to you, why are you squirming in your seat?" is possibly one of my favorite sentences ive ever heard spoken
Some other great out-of-context quotes from Leonie: “It’s Jack! The English teacher! And he is _looking,_ at _his_ wife, HOOKING UP, with the _exact same dude,_ that _he_ has also been secretly having an affair with!” - “And Lawson is just on the side, gaslighting gatekeeping girlbossing, trying to flirt with his TEACᴴᴱᴿˢ” - (Both of those are from her review of “Misfits”) “This is not _romance,_ this is _jail time!_ The only _romance_ I wanna see is between Rowan and the bars of his prison!” (Reviewing “The Fine Print”)
I understand why the last student dated the teacher jumped off the roof, after all if the person I am dating spoke this cringy bullshit I would jump off the roof too. Edit: omg this is crazy and the dog one T-T??
First date I ever went on after highschool, I was making out with the guy, and he kept using lines. For example, his tiny dog came up and interrupted us to lick my face, and after he removed her he said something like, "now it's my turn." Absolutely hated that.
Since he has a reputation for sleeping with his students, it would have been funnier if she kept trying to get with him to make the plot happen but he was completely disinterested and going after someone else.
In the Italian version of "TeenTitansGo" the character "Raven" is called "Corvina". She has violet eyes, a dark personality and magic power/parents. I believe the protagonist is based on a character from TeenTitansGo.
There's no way you're introducing Raven as from TT Go instead of the tv show that Go is inspired by, Teen Titans.... Or the DC Comics that Teen Titans' Raven is inspired from... But her worst portrayal easily lmao
@@lover._.girl4 Not really, just expressing disbelief at choosing the worst variant of Raven to introduce her as lmao it's just also funny that this version is like twice removed from the source material

I know someone who wrote poetry when they had insomnia. They DID expect it to be weird upon re reading. Imho it's ok to cherry pick the odd nugget when you're writing in a sub optimal state, but there's no reason to keep it all. Not everyone is Kafka (Kafka wrote exclusively in late evening).

Yes! Except not a joke...the author was seriously going for edgy pretty raven and landed on fish. If you replace every time he calls her "little crow" with "little fish" it'd be a much better book lmao
I’m all in for hating this book but he did not yell at corvina for that part lmfao that was just some random a$$ girl but either way the “I could feel the sexual tension between you two!!!” Part was RIDICULOUS. That’s like if someone’s main character syndrome actually came true which is what this entire book is with corvina.
5:33 Probably a play on the word corvid. Which does not, in fact, mean raven, it is a category of bird that both ravens and crows, among other birds, fall under. Bird nerd here

it’s actually so funny that the book makes this big deal of corvina hearing voices but not having schizophrenia but the final twist is yeah, we were wrong she just has schizophrenia, sorry my bad
Lowk, that's not even a bad plot twist in it of itself and could be a pretty good book for schizophrenia had the author used that and was half good at her job
Could have been a great Aesop on how untreated mental disorders are NOT hot and you should get help, but it wouldn't be in the series if it was, now would it.
More like the common r*pist Ok maybe that's not the right word, I haven't read the book but Corvina doesn't seem to be communicating clear consent, so mr. Professor is still on a very blurry spot.
The teacher calls their relationship madness so often that I was half expecting him to be a piece of her imagination, and the whole ordeal is her loosing her mind
she is NOT emo don't you dare disrespect the constant slay and swag of emo girls. Corvina is just a straight girl that thinks listening to Hozier makes her better than other people
Yeah, god forbid people cultivate a mood for their story. Soooo amateur to listen to music. Shaming people isn't cute. You are not any better than other writers because you don't like listening to music. Not every person is you. You call yourselves writers yet you are willing to diminish the accomplishments of your peers because you don't like their methods? Sounds like mean girl behavior to me.

I hate these super fancy, completely meaningless and often outright wrong descriptions. They're exactly what a 5th grader thinks good writing is. Also, they never fit the tone of the rest of the book, they feel so forced

It’s a rule to not date the students (as it is everywhere), student died due to student teacher relationship, and everyone knows he is known for sleeping with students….and he still has a job.
There’s one line in this book, where the narrator is talking about the “mean girl” character. She says something along the lines of “this girl was SA’d so now she’s super mean to everyone for no reason.” As an SA survivor, I found this super harmful and frankly, a horrible thing to say.
Oh god I hate those kinds of reasons. There's "yeah she went through a traumatic experience so she's still having trouble processing and she lashes out after her *understandably* horrifying experience" And then "Ha ha trauma makes her a bitch, that's it the end."

Since the corvidae family of birds contains not only crows and ravens, the teacher would have been technically equally correct to call her a blue jay. Although I suppose that isn't as Dark Academia
Wait, I’d like to make an argument that this would have been more dark academia, because it would need some knowledge on birds and biological naming conventions. It would make you as the reader think, and not be as cliche as the raven thing, which sounds like trying too hard/fanfiction-like. It’s not as „steamy romance novel set in „dark academia aesthetic“ setting must read oh so *hoooot*“, tho, for sure.
@@annikania2682 Yeah, cause, forgive my ignorance, isn't "Dark Academia" about, yk, LEARNING? Knowledge but you have black nail polish? Education but somehow it's always raining?

The author needs to read more books to understand how to write a good romance novel and the reader needs to read more books to cleanse their eyes of the sin they have willingly witnessed
It's actually ironic because Corvina is meant to mean a type of bird but is actually a fish, whereas sirens were mythical creatures often misunderstood and represented as beautiful mermaids (half-fish women) but are in fact horrifying deceitful creatures that are half-bird, half-woman. So the unintentional insult comes back around in the end lol. 😂
wait hang on sorry, as a forensics nerd, THAT'S NOT HOW DEAD BODIES WORK LMFAOOOO "she died two years ago and then was burned post mortem some time in the last two months, probably to make her harder to identify." bones. those are bones. that's not a corpse anymore, unless it's been carefully preserved or mummified, and considering the fact that it's in the woods, it seems highly unlikely that the body is just somehow mummified. also, it takes a LOT of effort to identify a body when there's just bones, especially if it's a partial skeleton. here we can assume that this is a full skeleton, and i have no idea how long of a gap there is between the discovery of the body and the identification, but like even if the pool of potential victims is incredibly small because these are school grounds and there's only a handful of people that go missing, if even that, it would take them for-fucking-ever to even THINK that the corpse belongs to someone that's still alive? jade wouldn't even be on the LIST for potential victims. ain't no way yes this is nitpicky but aaaaaAAAAAAAAAAGH it's just another example of how the author Doesn't Know How This Shit Works
Im interested in forensics and law stuff too it’s so interesting and a good job (if you work for the law) because you’re such a big and important part to get those victims rüthe justice they deserve and honestly I’ve been wanting to get a forensic for years now
“Steer clear of me, little crow.” See now I wish this was a Choose-your-own-adventure where you could say “okay” and have Corvina drop the class within the first week and re-register for a different time slot with a different professor, ending the book early and getting the Good Ending.
yeah theres no way thats not abusive in some way. like, even if she enjoys it, a partner should NEVER say that they're a bad choice for a first time and do zero preparation. i dont like the teacher in this book and i dont like how he treats corvina sexually, but i hope he at least did aftercare. also she would definitely be bleeding at least a little after he just violently ripped through her hymen (unless she broke it earlier on in her life)
yeah gave me flashbacks of my first time, which was SA and wasn't fun at all. i cannot believe that ppl are reading that and thinking it's sexy or okay
I use “said” and use this thing I do when writing stories such as: *She walked across the hall with books in her hand pressed gently on her chest “Hey there” she turns around and beamed it was him-her best friend* Okay and this is how I make dialogue: *He looked her up and down “So why did you do that?” She didn’t know how to reply-how could she?,”I-….I well-“ she stammered,he shakes his head* How I make characters interrupted: *She had to tell him she just had to “Wait I-“ “-NO!-no excuses you SHOULDN’T have done that” she couldn’t say anything else not even utter a word….she messed up and “sorry” was just a word to him if it comes from her* You can say “said” that was an example of how I do it when I don’t want to use words like “whispers” and more or ”exclaimed” but I do use them BYE! 👋 20:32 Why?….why such aggressive description?-I don’t like it why?,and this guy is one big ass red flag 🚩,love shouldn’t hurt why-why?!?!?-this MUST be abusive!!!!!. 27:11 Too possessive can she get rid of him now?-he is one big red flag 🚩,my God
FOR REAL😭😭I’m surprised she didn’t get a yeast infection or any type of nasty smell stuck on her after not doing that for like, more than half the book.
In italian we put -ina or -ino after a name to indicate that it is something little, or cute, for example "mano" wich means "hand" would be "manina" to indicate that it is a small hand. So to me "Corvina" is "a small crow" or "a small raven", and the "a" at the end is because it's a female, while Corvin-o would be a male. Maybe she took inspiration from that? Italian developed from latin so it could be possible
“You’re… You’re a demon?” She gasps. He looks at her incredulously. “I wasn’t exactly being subtle about it, sweetheart.” “But, how?” “I said I’m your madness. I meant that literally.” In all seriousness, I feel like this book could have been a lot better if the author gave the male lead any semblance of personality aside from “dominant, masculine, dark, broody sex object”
I REALLY hate predatory relationships glamorized in books (happens in a lot of regular romance too??), but you made me laugh so much I could get through this horrible story
A lot of people say they hate stuff like this, but harlequin romances with the most cliché of masculine archetypes and sexual themes are still widely read by women nonetheless. If it really isn't something women like fantasizing about, there wouldn't be a market for it.
@@kinrateia Exactly. It’s like Leonie says, the lack of consent from the protagonist and romanticization of a controlling man is what makes this kind of story dangerous, especially when he’s always blaming her for HIS attraction to her and his stupid “madness.” I don’t want to read stories like this at all but I know that some romance writers can depict how to have a sub/dom relationship that is healthy and consensual. GOTHIKA ain’t it
I have an idea. At the end of the book we find out that it was written by Vad. So, even though it was written from the perspective of Corvina, in fact it is all just his experience, his point of view. And that makes me theorise that Corvina... Probably was not a character we saw her to be. She even could never exist. As far as I understood, he has a sister, who is pretty controlling. Or I even would say a bit crazy and possessive. She even thinks she has a right to kill some of people he loves. And maybe such a behaviour was really traumatic for him, so he got a bit insane. I think, there was a second he turned from just traumatised person to completely ruined - the death of his previous love. After that, everything that was happening, was not completely real. The first meeting of main characters happens at night, when Vad plays on piano. And maybe, that was never happened. Let me explain. Maybe, he saw Corvina at first some hours before this meeting, when she arrived at the school. However, she didn't notice him, being busy. But for him it didn't matter, because he fell in love with her from the first sigh. She was extremely beautiful for him, that was a real passion appeared in his heart. And even though they didn't even met each other Vad believed, that they should have a romance. Since that second he couldn't forget about this girl. This night, he was not even able to sleep, burning from a big desire to talk to her. And, spending a sleepless night alone with a piano, he maybe fell asleep and had a dream, or maybe had a hallucination that Corvina came to him. That was make no sence because it was deep night, but it happened in his head. And the reason Corvina immediately fell in love with him was that he wanted to imagine it that way. In common, what I am trying to say is that our main female character was indeed an ordinary student he fell in love. Because of traumatic experience in last relationship he was afraid to actually come up with her and become partners. So, he started to imagine it all, and the figure of Corvina in his mind was not the real girl. It just looked as his new student did, but, since he had no idea what personality she possessed, her character was made up by him as he wished it to be. Since that moment, let's keep it all in mind and look on situations in the book with new eyes. There are some things that I think, make sence in that case: 1. Remember how everybody was saying main characters have big chemistry? Maybe, the reason to it was that Vad actually behaved very attached to Corvina, obviously liking her. That was a one-side love of his, and everybody probably noticed that. 2. Do you remember the boy that was a reason for Vad's jealousy? Maybe, that was real Corvina's boyfriend. And the fact they are together made him even more possessive about the imagined Corvina. 3. Oh, yes, the possessiveness. I guess, the reason he was like that was the fact, that she was his fantasy. It was a part of him, of his mind, and of course, he didn't want to lose part of his own soul. He was really afraid to lose their love cause of previous experience, and wished to claim, to control this girl completely. So that was not just possessiveness towards another person, but to the last love figure he had in his mind. 4. Also, do you remember how they were in library, and she had no underneath? I guess, that is also because the scenary of them having hot time together was one of his fantasies, which were all perfect. Every piece of them was imagined as he wished that to be. And the reason sometimes Corvina behaves strange was just because he wanted it to be this way. 5. In addition to that, what happened in the car was also his dream. The real Corvina asked him to deliver a letter, and he immediately started to imagine how they will have a ride together. Being in the middle of the rain, alone in the car, he sincerely wished to have her beside him. 6. I think, there is a possibility, that real Corvina did actually have normal parents. The relationship of the female mc and her insane overprotective mother was just a mapping of Vad's and his sister's relationship. Mr Deverill probable needed a girl who is not just the object of his love, but also a person who can completely understand his pain. And the reason Corvina had such a strange mother is this - it was just a projection. 7. Also, I believe that real Corvina had no mental problems. Imagining his love has the same problems hr has (like voices in his head) was nothing but an attempt to cope with his own madness. 8. Also, a tiny, tiny detail that makes sence is that the name Corvina is not only connected with crows, but with a fish. Maybe, Vad didn't know about the second meaning, butin his mind the fact that he understands the sence of this word made him feel like he is really meant to our girl. And that is why he was calling her crow - he really liked that concept. Well... I hoped you enjoyed my theory😂. Maybe, you have something to add, would be interesting to hear it. Have a good day!

No I think in this book it would continue like this: Mr Vlad Drăculea Rouge (I forgot his name, but I think this will work aswell) glimpsed at her violet eye with a stripe of confusion but lust. He slightly brushed against her bald head with his strong dominant alpha thumb. When he took it down Parmigiana Reggiana (forgot her name too) looked deeply into his male orbs “ you don’t like me now, do you, do I disgust you?”. Additionally she hid her magenta coloured eye from him with her bear foot. “No” he answered directly but masculine with his deep male voice since he is a man “you don’t. You adore me. You drive me mad. This..” he pointed between him and me with his strong male muscular veiny hand “this is madness” he barked. “You are madness my little bony fish” he grinned with a erotic tension between him and my bear foot.

Omg this had me dying! I'm so saving that the next time I read any sentence written cringely about a woman's appearance.
hehe boobily may be my new favorite word
perfect!...why don't we all just start calling them "boobily" novels? and then the description would be exactly what she said in the video: "fan-fictiony writting, poorly written smut scenes, mental health issues and romantization of abusive relationships". That would be perfect, right? And then we can finally have them be separate from regular books in any other genre, and life will finally make sense. Bc they're like 1% (maybe) of fiction books, but somehow have ended up with wayyyy too much media attention.
It's not fair to expect them to be real books, and hold them to that standard. People expect them to have normal writting, spell checking, grammar, realistic characters, a plot, etc... and that's just not typical for Boobly books. We're holding them to a standard which is just unfair... clearly. It's like expecting Shakespeare from a bathroom wall.
Why did this author romanticize so many red flags??? I'm so boggled, "You chose the wrong man for your first time," NO NO STOP RIGHT THERE

Preach. I think it’s very sweet that Leonie avoided kinkshaming by acknowledging that every folk has their own stroke and that’s fine, but when does it stop? So much romanticisation of these toxic, manipulative people is rampant throughout literature - everywhere I see mafia stories and toxic werewolf alphas and billionaire playboys, it just gives me the ick. When fiction affects reality, the problem begins. I believe unironically that every book with this romanticisation featured should have a disclaimer at the beginning making it clear for readers that this is FICTIONAL and that people acting like this in real life is not okay.
It's very fishy you might say. 🧐

Omg. The character being accidentally named after a fish when the author intended some pretty feminized version of raven has such 'My Immortal except not a joke the author actually thought it was deep' energy.
This gave me “My Immortal but not ironic” vibes sooo hard lol Corvina describing herself 😂😂
"Corvina" is actually Italian for "raven" - the adjective though, not the noun, so it's still a big fail on the author's part

There’s one line in this book, where the narrator is talking about the “mean girl” character. She says something along the lines of “this girl was SA’d so now she’s super mean to everyone for no reason.” As an SA survivor, I found this super harmful and frankly, a horrible thing to say.
Oh god I hate those kinds of reasons. There's "yeah she went through a traumatic experience so she's still having trouble processing and she lashes out after her *understandably* horrifying experience"
And then
"Ha ha trauma makes her a bitch, that's it the end."

Since the corvidae family of birds contains not only crows and ravens, the teacher would have been technically equally correct to call her a blue jay. Although I suppose that isn't as Dark Academia
Wait, I’d like to make an argument that this would have been more dark academia, because it would need some knowledge on birds and biological naming conventions. It would make you as the reader think, and not be as cliche as the raven thing, which sounds like trying too hard/fanfiction-like.
It’s not as „steamy romance novel set in „dark academia aesthetic“ setting must read oh so *hoooot*“, tho, for sure.

BRO THIS IS SO UNDERRATED
Lol
IT COULDVE BEEN SUCH A FUN INTENDED REFERENCE FROM THE WRITER;
ie. this book makes me furious, even being a beginner author it's just so .. arrogant.
It's actually ironic because Corvina is meant to mean a type of bird but is actually a fish, whereas sirens were mythical creatures often misunderstood and represented as beautiful mermaids (half-fish women) but are in fact horrifying deceitful creatures that are half-bird, half-woman. So the unintentional insult comes back around in the end lol. 😂
WHEEEZEE 😂
wait hang on sorry, as a forensics nerd, THAT'S NOT HOW DEAD BODIES WORK LMFAOOOO
"she died two years ago and then was burned post mortem some time in the last two months, probably to make her harder to identify."
bones. those are bones. that's not a corpse anymore, unless it's been carefully preserved or mummified, and considering the fact that it's in the woods, it seems highly unlikely that the body is just somehow mummified. also, it takes a LOT of effort to identify a body when there's just bones, especially if it's a partial skeleton. here we can assume that this is a full skeleton, and i have no idea how long of a gap there is between the discovery of the body and the identification, but like
even if the pool of potential victims is incredibly small because these are school grounds and there's only a handful of people that go missing, if even that, it would take them for-fucking-ever to even THINK that the corpse belongs to someone that's still alive? jade wouldn't even be on the LIST for potential victims. ain't no way
yes this is nitpicky but aaaaaAAAAAAAAAAGH it's just another example of how the author Doesn't Know How This Shit Works

“Steer clear of me, little crow.”
See now I wish this was a Choose-your-own-adventure where you could say “okay” and have Corvina drop the class within the first week and re-register for a different time slot with a different professor, ending the book early and getting the Good Ending.

Actually- GOOD IDEA.

*She walked across the hall with books in her hand pressed gently on her chest “Hey there” she turns around and beamed it was him-her best friend*
Okay and this is how I make dialogue:
*He looked her up and down “So why did you do that?” She didn’t know how to reply-how could she?,”I-….I well-“ she stammered,he shakes his head*
How I make characters interrupted:
*She had to tell him she just had to “Wait I-“ “-NO!-no excuses you SHOULDN’T have done that” she couldn’t say anything else not even utter a word….she messed up and “sorry” was just a word to him if it comes from her*

sorry guys I tried the challenge and got drunk
In italian we put -ina or -ino after a name to indicate that it is something little, or cute, for example "mano" wich means "hand" would be "manina" to indicate that it is a small hand. So to me "Corvina" is "a small crow" or "a small raven", and the "a" at the end is because it's a female, while Corvin-o would be a male. Maybe she took inspiration from that? Italian developed from latin so it could be possible
late but I think it came from the Teen Titans Go character Raven, which is named Corvina in the Italian version. I may be wrong though!
“You’re… You’re a demon?” She gasps. He looks at her incredulously.
“I wasn’t exactly being subtle about it, sweetheart.”
“But, how?”
“I said I’m your madness. I meant that literally.”
In all seriousness, I feel like this book could have been a lot better if the author gave the male lead any semblance of personality aside from “dominant, masculine, dark, broody sex object”
That line makes me think of like a shitty off brand of the show lucifer

A lot of people say they hate stuff like this, but harlequin romances with the most cliché of masculine archetypes and sexual themes are still widely read by women nonetheless. If it really isn't something women like fantasizing about, there wouldn't be a market for it.
People liking doesn't make it not problematic. Media does not exist in a vacuum
@@kinrateia Exactly. It’s like Leonie says, the lack of consent from the protagonist and romanticization of a controlling man is what makes this kind of story dangerous, especially when he’s always blaming her for HIS attraction to her and his stupid “madness.” I don’t want to read stories like this at all but I know that some romance writers can depict how to have a sub/dom relationship that is healthy and consensual.

( Carstairs** | Shadowhunters )
I have an idea.
At the end of the book we find out that it was written by Vad. So, even though it was written from the perspective of Corvina, in fact it is all just his experience, his point of view. And that makes me theorise that Corvina... Probably was not a character we saw her to be. She even could never exist.
As far as I understood, he has a sister, who is pretty controlling. Or I even would say a bit crazy and possessive. She even thinks she has a right to kill some of people he loves. And maybe such a behaviour was really traumatic for him, so he got a bit insane. I think, there was a second he turned from just traumatised person to completely ruined - the death of his previous love. After that, everything that was happening, was not completely real.
The first meeting of main characters happens at night, when Vad plays on piano. And maybe, that was never happened. Let me explain. Maybe, he saw Corvina at first some hours before this meeting, when she arrived at the school. However, she didn't notice him, being busy. But for him it didn't matter, because he fell in love with her from the first sigh. She was extremely beautiful for him, that was a real passion appeared in his heart. And even though they didn't even met each other Vad believed, that they should have a romance. Since that second he couldn't forget about this girl. This night, he was not even able to sleep, burning from a big desire to talk to her. And, spending a sleepless night alone with a piano, he maybe fell asleep and had a dream, or maybe had a hallucination that Corvina came to him. That was make no sence because it was deep night, but it happened in his head. And the reason Corvina immediately fell in love with him was that he wanted to imagine it that way.
In common, what I am trying to say is that our main female character was indeed an ordinary student he fell in love. Because of traumatic experience in last relationship he was afraid to actually come up with her and become partners. So, he started to imagine it all, and the figure of Corvina in his mind was not the real girl. It just looked as his new student did, but, since he had no idea what personality she possessed, her character was made up by him as he wished it to be.
Since that moment, let's keep it all in mind and look on situations in the book with new eyes. There are some things that I think, make sence in that case:
1. Remember how everybody was saying main characters have big chemistry? Maybe, the reason to it was that Vad actually behaved very attached to Corvina, obviously liking her. That was a one-side love of his, and everybody probably noticed that.
2. Do you remember the boy that was a reason for Vad's jealousy? Maybe, that was real Corvina's boyfriend. And the fact they are together made him even more possessive about the imagined Corvina.
3. Oh, yes, the possessiveness. I guess, the reason he was like that was the fact, that she was his fantasy. It was a part of him, of his mind, and of course, he didn't want to lose part of his own soul. He was really afraid to lose their love cause of previous experience, and wished to claim, to control this girl completely. So that was not just possessiveness towards another person, but to the last love figure he had in his mind.
4. Also, do you remember how they were in library, and she had no underneath? I guess, that is also because the scenary of them having hot time together was one of his fantasies, which were all perfect. Every piece of them was imagined as he wished that to be. And the reason sometimes Corvina behaves strange was just because he wanted it to be this way.
5. In addition to that, what happened in the car was also his dream. The real Corvina asked him to deliver a letter, and he immediately started to imagine how they will have a ride together. Being in the middle of the rain, alone in the car, he sincerely wished to have her beside him.
6. I think, there is a possibility, that real Corvina did actually have normal parents. The relationship of the female mc and her insane overprotective mother was just a mapping of Vad's and his sister's relationship. Mr Deverill probable needed a girl who is not just the object of his love, but also a person who can completely understand his pain. And the reason Corvina had such a strange mother is this - it was just a projection.
7. Also, I believe that real Corvina had no mental problems. Imagining his love has the same problems hr has (like voices in his head) was nothing but an attempt to cope with his own madness.
8. Also, a tiny, tiny detail that makes sence is that the name Corvina is not only connected with crows, but with a fish. Maybe, Vad didn't know about the second meaning, butin his mind the fact that he understands the sence of this word made him feel like he is really meant to our girl. And that is why he was calling her crow - he really liked that concept.
