Spice: 4.5

Oh I really loved and enjoyed reading this one!!

My very first proper MM Romance with great spice, amazing humor, dark/traumatic pasts and paranormal elements. This story, for me, was one of a kind!
Eventho it is so traumatic it was still lighthearted with the humor of the characters and the writing style. AHH it was so good! 

I was a bit scared at first knowing the amount of pages, it really is a big boy. But I had no complaints, never got boring, always interesting and captivating. I devoured it in 3 days and I was sad when it was over. Always a good sign!

So many loveable characters! Great development of the story and the characters! The gay awakening was a trope well done!! I am having a hard time describing all the things I liked about this book because everything was just great.

I love the message of this book a lot, how they both need each other to heal and deal with there traumatic life experiences, making each other better and stronger, more confident, making each other complete. Love it!!! They are perfect together!

I recommend this to anyone who loves a dark and twisted MM Romance with paranormal elements. You won't regret it!
