Dark Space by Lisa Henry
5.0
The romance levels in this novel are high! I really got into the story and couldn’t put this book down, finishing it in less than a day. The romance is really well written (it’s the good old “gay for you” trope) and I liked the characters.
While the romance plot line is very well done, the science fiction plot revolving around the “Faceless” has some holes and is not really well thought out, it honestly didn’t make much sense to me. But as this is a romance novel I’m quite forgiving as long as there is lots of pining, racing hearts and steam- check, check and check.
What I loved about this story is that Cameron and Brady can communicate through their thoughts - an idea I discovered in a completely different novel series (the parabatai concept in the “Shadowhunters” novels if you care to know), and I am so glad other authors are picking this idea up as well. Love it!
There should be a trigger warning for rape though because this happened to two characters in this story and in one instance it is not portrayed as something entirely negative.
Overall it’s one of the most intense romance novels I’ve read. Highly recommended.
