Ahhhhh the ending of this series was perfection.
Honestly, Kallum and Halen have haunted me for months as I waited for the end of their twisting, turning story. Watching Halen unpick all the webs weaved around her was truly marvellous. And watching Kallum navigate his obsession was captivating.
The amount of effort that Trisha put into this world was magnificent. Philosophy is a subject that irritates me no end; I have a psychology background and took one philosophy unit during university that was my most hated subject. Kallum's philosophical lectures drove me up the wall, but I feel this is exactly what he is meant to do. It is clear he is the smartest person in any room, and watching him continue to bamboozle those around him is captivating.
The clear distinction between the characters in the way their chapters are written is also done exquisitely. Sometimes when reading, I get have to flick back to the start of the chapter to know which characters POV I am reading, but there is none of that here. Each character is clearly defined, and their voices are unique, making that immersion in the story perfect.
I am not going to share spoilers, but the twists and turns in this book alone, my God. The epilogue chapter was so bittersweet and just tied everything Kallum believes about life together so perfectly.
Thank you for this story, and these incredibly complex, intriguing and intelligent characters.

This is definitely a darker tone than some of Riley's other books, but for me it was a nice change of tone. I love a dark romance, so the more serious topics this book dealt with fit right in my scene.
This book is heavy on the topics of mental health, social isolation and deals with the fallout of a Cult. There are a number of scenes including cock-warming and primal play, which is also a nice step away from 'standard MM romance sex'.
The two MMCs have an instant connection, and though instalove isn't a trope that usually sings to me, in the context of this book, and the characters back stories, it made sense. It also references later on that they acknowledge their obsession with each other isn't healthy and they're trying to find a good balance with each other and their lives.

After reading and loving 2 of Nyla's books, I was hoping for a hat trick with Push. I did not get one. I initially came across this throuple in Trouble (which I absolutely adored) and so was looking forward to seeing how it all started.
The way this book was written was so different from For The Fans and Trouble, that it felt like a completely different author. The dialogue didn't feel genuine and the rest of the writing felt choppy and childish. I am guessing this was one of the first books written by Nyla, because the difference in quality is massive.
The story itself was compelling, but the execution really let it down for me.
