Perfection!

WHAT A RIDE!!! The way this story was woven together via duo timelines and POVs over the four books was PERFECTION. The author SHOWS you what happened, rather than tells you, and it so damn heart breaking and gut wrenching, with the most BEAUTIFUL ending! Poetic justice, for sure!!! This series was so unique. I’ve never really read anything quite like it. The story was layered and complex, with multiple hidden plot points and twists. You feel so many deep emotions for the characters. I won’t lie, it’s hard to read at times, the themes are dark, and the heartache is real, but man that ending was worth it!!! If you’ve stuck it out with Alex and Josiah all this time, you will NOT be disappointed by this final installment!

Gripping M/M Romance

I absolutely devoured this four-book series. I started last Wednesday and could barely tear myself away until I finished today. These books pulled me in so completely that everything else in life had to wait. The story is a dark, gripping M/M romance set in a vivid dystopian future. The world-building is both brutal and beautiful, the characters complex and unforgettable, and the emotional tension is intense from start to finish. The romance is raw, tender, and sometimes heartbreaking, but always compelling. If you enjoy dark romance, dystopian settings, and a love story that burns through every obstacle in its path, this series is a must-read. I’m already wishing there were more books in this world.

Loved this series

5⭐ for the series overall. I had to walk away a couple times during this one. I seriously doubted there would be a happy ending. This book continued to expose the abuse Alex suffered and had too little positive experiences IMO. I'm glad there's a novella that shows more of the loving relationship we all wanted so badly.
