I don’t have a single bad thing to say about this book. So, lemme gush about it because I don’t write proper reviews, ever but this deserves one! Genuinely loved the FMC and the MMC love interests as separate characters and as lovers all throughout the book. We start off with the FMC, Nova’s POV and are with her every step of the way after leaving her abusive ex boyfriend. I loved Nova’s personality and all her quirks we see come to light. Nova’s just trying to find peace for the first time in a long time, but finds something else as well: fated love. Rhys Alexander Slater had my love and adoration from the second he was introduced. He’s smart (in his own ways), hilarious and very sexy.. well, if you don’t mind that he’s a serial killer. He kills the bad guys, so it’s okay, right? 👀 If you like Dean Winchester from the show Supernatural, I think there’s a very likely chance you’ll love Rhys! His humor, his love for his car named Beauty and his love for his brother/best friend, Dorian all scream Dean and I enjoyed it.  As for Dorian, he’s very nerdy and thoughtful. He feels everything deeply and has a heart of gold. He matches Rhys’s humor and there’s plenty of brotherly fighting which I had a hell of a fun time with! They are truly the best MMC’s I’ve read In a while. I personally went into this book knowing almost nothing, just that I wanted to support a new friend and author, and I’m so glad I did. I think it helped I went in knowing very little, but it’s up to you with how much you want to know going in, so I’m leaving this relatively vague. The description tells you a little more, so read that if you want more. Please be careful with triggers going into this! The author did put a trigger warnings page at the front of the book so you know what you’re getting into. Please read that first and then decide on if you would still be okay reading it or not. There’s no sense in ignoring triggers, they’re real and it’s normal to have them. I hope you adore this book as much as I do!
