This book is a soul-deep exploration of pain, control and vulnerability and I was hooked from the first page.
Bran prides himself on being in control. His schedule is planned, every day following the same routine to keep out the darkness that swallows him whole, but Niko is determined to see every part of him. Watching Bran fight his feelings, deny the pull towards Niko, battle his sexuality and try to cling onto control until it nearly destroys him was so heartbreakingly beautiful. You can really feel his desperation to not unravel, structuring his life to keep his own beasts at bay.
Nikolai could not be more opposite. Letting his beasts free is his favourite pastime, he is nothing if not chaos, sharp edges and reckless violence. But then he meets Brandon and everything changes. All he wants is to understand him. Even when Bran forces him back into the closet, even when Bran pushes him away, he’s there, trying.
Their push and pull is worth every second. You spent half the book waiting for them to break, waiting for the last straw but begging they don’t, begging they find a way to stay together because their private moments? Some of the best of the series.
