The Rycke by Lily Mayne
5.0

Sweet anxious man meets sweet anxious monster

Seriously, how adorable are these 2? They are both obsessed with protecting each other and being a martyr. Ghost is an anxious people pleaser and Aury is a sad boi with severe PTSD. They love each other so unconditionally. This book was dark and full of so much tragedy and sadness, like the previous two books, but the sunshine in this one blinding.
