The next thing I know, I see edits and reviews of people talking about this book. Niko and Bran this, Niko and Bran that. I saw quotes and screenshots and even heard snippets of the audiobook.
It got me. I had to read this. Is this book really that good? And, damn it sure was. I read right through this on my Kindle never once did I put it down. I highlighted SO MANY moments in this book. Niko and Brandon are everything. Niko is crazy but so so soft for Brandon, the way he helped him through his issues. He pushed Brandon but at the same time was patient with him because he saw how twisted up he was.
I also loved Brandon and Landon's relationship. We didn't see a lot of Lan but when we did he was 100% behind Brandon even when Brandon was actively pushing him away. The moment they had at the end was so sweet.
Niko/Landon teamup was perfect! and well deserved, that person deserved what they did to them.
Levi's (Brandon's father) chapter was funny too. Niko's relationship with his father Kyle was so cute.
Overall, I loved this book. The only annoying thing was the whole Koyla nonsense with Niko but whatever it didn't bother me too much. Now, just so you know you don't have to read the previous books to understand this, I was never confused or lost throughout this story.
5 out 5 for me! NIKOBRAN FOREVER!

HONESTLY??? yeah it was pretty problematic in parts but did i love the characters??? yeah absolutely!
am i going to read the other 50 books in this universe?? absolutely tf not BUT IT'S FINE i liked it!! not that bad for sure!!!
did i almost drop it because of the third act drama?? yep i did. i did NOT want to deal with those fuckers but my friend who i was buddy reading with was like "u gotta catch up to me" so i did. and i finish the whole book (SHE PROCEEDED TO DNF BTW THE BITCH-) but yeah it was alright :D
the whole russian mafia thing had me laughing out loud i could not take it seriously BUT it was a bit brutal at times
~okay update like a few weeks later
seeing as this book led me into one of the worst spirals of my life and impacted my mental health SO horribly
also just remembering how comically bad some parts were
i have taken the rating down a notch
