Nick landed himself the superhero boyfriend of his dreams, but with new heroes arriving in Nova City it’s up to Nick and his friends to determine who is virtuous and who is villainous. Which is a lot to handle for a guy who just wants to finish his self-insert bakery AU fanfic
I don’t know what to say other than OMG OMG GUYS WTF OMG I LOVED IT SO MUCH OMG WHY AREN”T YOU READING THIS???
Okay, so I’ve calmed down a bit.
We left Nick and Seth off in the last book where secrets were revealed and maybe some things were going to be revealed in this next book and OMG OMG OMG WHAT?! I KNEW IT!
Anyway, as this is spoiler free, I will not say what I think I thought and then what happened and how IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT. I will say that it is a fine, fine, solid and maybe one of the BEST THE BEST sequels I have ever read. It has layers and layers of character and story development without seeming forced and without forgetting the original essence of the characters. I love how the relationships developed and diverged, growing and stretching and showing us more and more and more but also how they respond to pressures and real life situations. I love how everything is addressed including Nick’s policeman father, racism, stereotypes and sexuality. All of this is done with a lot of compassion and heart and without any preaching.
The first four chapters I re-read twice because I love them so much. There’s so much laughter I think I did actually LOL which was okay because I was at home alone because you know, Covid, but usually I am out in public and I would have looked like a maniac.
Klune, come over and have some coffee with me so we can be best friends.
Anyway, I can’t tell you how much I loved this book except to say that all my friends are going to be reading this and #1 because I am buying it for everyone for Christmas and yes, I’m talking to you book club and OMG.
Also, THE END. THE END!.
You just broke me.
Now I have to wait a whole year for book three? After that ending? Seriously???
God I’m going to have to re-read them again now.
