So this one was the GWLBWLB Book Club’s April pick!

By the end of the first chapter I knew I was probably reading a favorite of 2024. I may have been late to this one but it hit me all the same. The fact that Brandon has Synesthesia is phenomenal. I really haven’t seen that mentioned but him seeing colors is the coolest thing EVER. I’m so jealous of people who can do that! And Nikolai is ridiculous. He has zero moral compass but his obsession with Bran was done perfectly! Bran is a grumpy golden boy and Niko is a slightly crazed golden retriever. Bran is neurotically organized and Niko is chaotically unorganized. Complete opposites and yet absolutely perfect for each other.

On to the story. WHOA. I felt every single emotion. This one is trigger happy. It’s sad and intense and brutal at times. I cried at least 3 times. Multiple times apart but y’all, it was NEEDED. And despite all the pain there was so much beauty. Bran and Niko are one of the BEST couples I’ve ever gotten to know. Both have demons lurking and tormenting them but the way they each fought for the other? Superb! It took a lot to get to the end but these two fought tooth and nail and never gave up.

I’m honestly obsessed. I wasn’t expecting the humor at all. Chapter 32 was the best surprise. Chapter 24 was my absolute favorite chapter. I loved the push:pull. I highlighted at least 30% of the book. This one took me days to get through the first 65% because it was heavy. But I devoured that last 35% and solidified God of Fury as a favorite 2024 read. And I may have to read the others now too. Seriously, I knew going in that this would be tough and it WAS, but by the end I was floating.
