I do wish she would have handled Niko’s medication issues differently. While some people do experience negative side effects from psychiatric medications, it isn’t typically to the extreme described (and usually that just means a lower dosage is needed). Because of so many people’s hesitancy to use psychiatric medications it’s frustrating to see an author write a stereotype that is rare and prevents people from using life saving medication. Especially when she handled all of the other mental health conditions with such care through out the story.

this book deals with a number of dark and potentially triggering topics, so make sure you are in the correct headspace before diving into this book (and the series in general);
I’ve often struggled with queer romance for one reason or another - it can be a minefield - but this story handled it well. Writing an Ace/Demi character is not easy, so having a main character experience what many who identify with Ace-spec have is refreshing and oddly validating.

This book deserves an infinite amount of stars. Holy shiiiiiit I love this series so damn much. It seriously has a chokehold on me. Rina takes you on a complete rollercoaster of emotion throughout this book.
Watching Nikolai and Brendan's relationship bloom, to see how hard they love each other and how they calm each other during their storms is just… gah! Chef's kiss!!!!
Niko's tattoo for Brandon 😍
Brandon and Landon's conversation at the hospital 🥰
White mask finally revealed 🤯
I cannot believe this is Rina's first MM romance. She fucking killed it!
To sum up, I loved it. It was romantic, heartbreaking, beautiful and at times a true rom-com. Who knew Niko could bring out the funny!?
EVERYONE HAS TO READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!

As for Nikolai I knew he would be my favorite from the Heathens and I am so glad to say that he is. As much as I love the unhinged kinks of Jeremy, the heart and teddy bear personality that Nikolai has is so perfect. I love how effortlessly funny he is. He is honestly such a lovable character.
By the end of the book I am so proud of them all in this book.
