The Ruiner by Nem Rowan
5.0
This book was a rollercoaster of emotions. The ending was so tense, I didn't want to stop reading!
TL;DR review:
A BDSM club, kinky stuff, a mxm pairing that I shipped so hard it hurt, a trans MC, a well-written and terrifying stalker... All in all, a delicious mix of queer romance and thrilling horror.
Longer, more in-depth review:
On LGBTQ+:
The MC is trans and the hurt and hardships this has brought him throughout his life (esp with his mother) was both heart-wrenching and rage-inducing at points. (I wanted to yeet the mom into a volcano...) So be aware that there is transphobia in the book along with deadnaming. Thankfully, the MC has the love and support of his siblings and his friends. The MC has quite the thick-skin and is not afraid to stand his ground, and the same goes for his friends.
The MC desires a new playmate and possible boyfriend, and finds a very shy man with whom he falls in love. Their dynamic was amazing and this guy is my fav character in the whole book
