I hated Alex. He was a dick for 90% of the book, no joke. There were a few times that he was nice, and then he went nuclear cold and distant. Then, at the very end, he had the audacity to call Gracie dense when she had trouble believing that he had feelings for her.
I also hate reading books where the author dangles secrets in front of you, and you just have to hope it answer will be revealed sooner rather than later. That’s the entire book. I feel like several of the hinted secrets were never revealed. And there were a couple major plot holes that had nothing to do with the whole super hero thing or anything technical. Alex disappeared for weeks and his family is like, “Where were you? We were getting kinda worried.” Which is ridiculous once you read the book. And the person who hurt him... just... nothing. Nothing at all happens about that.
It is so hard to rate this because I really did love the unique (to me) idea for the story, but I hated Alex so much. I kept wanting Gracie to yell at him or leave. I think the power imbalance (and her need to rely on him so heavily) made her put him on a pedestal. She deserves so much better.

The world building was also really poor, which is kind of normal bc most of her books are character based. But with superheroes and aliens you really need a little more. The cartel stuff felt forced and there are so many unanswered questions.
By far the most egregious thing was the whole “mates” BS. I think MZ did her best to make it seem like Gracie still had all the choices, but there’s just no choices in that situation. It was so weird and unnecessary. And the whole baby thing brought that to another level.
My favorite part was the fact that when he took her flying they flew vertically, and the image in my head was way too funny.
