Nightvine by Felicia Davin
5.0
NIGHTVINE grabbed my attention from the very beginning and I read the entire book in a single day because I just couldn't stop. I loved seeing a new country and learning more about the islands; the world building is just great in this series.
Ev was her usual steady self, taking care of Alizhan and making sure there's a workable plan. But we also get to see a little bit of a new softer side as she tries to work through her feelings for Alizhan. But things are made more complicated for Alizhan because she's forced to confront truths that are painful and damaging. There's a lot of struggle for Alizhan in NIGHTVINE and her ability to cope with social situations is not great. Added into the mix is Thiyo, a genderfluid character, who is charming, flirty, and outrageous. He's from the island Hoi and he grew up with a more accepting and diverse culture where people can be and love anyone they want. But in the rest of the world it's not as open, so Thiyo has to hide his true self. With Alizhan and Ev he finds acceptance. I loved the unique flair he brought to this little group and I hope it's all going in the direction I think it is because Alizhan, Ev, and Thiyo are perfect for each other.
I do have to warn other readers that NIGHTVINE does end on a cliffhanger so make sure you have the 3rd book on hand.
