“My beast roars to life as if it was never dormant.
This is what Mia has that no one else does. She's not prey to my beast, she's its match.
The yin to his yang.
The crazy to his insanity.”

I told myself going into this book that I could never give Landon King five stars. In classic Landon fashion, he had to prove me wrong and make me grovel. He still said some very rude things about my babies Bran and Niko but I guess he made up for it in other ways.

Who would’ve thought Landon would be a doting boyfriend? Not me, and definitely not any other character in this series. But he is! He picked up on Mia’s cues and quirks so quickly and was always trying to make her comfortable. From never letting her be stuck in the dark to getting her plant seeds so she could enjoy a hobby at their haunted house. Plus learning sign language and getting lessons in empathy from his brother? So sweet.

Also I loved how he connected with his siblings towards the end, especially Bran. It just reaffirmed everything he told Brandon in God of Fury at the hospital. I hope we see their relationship in a better place in God of War.

And Mia! I thought Cecily was my #1 girl but Mia is such a badass. If anyone could handle Landon, it could only be Mia. She’s literally a female Nikolai. And I loved her friendship with Brandon so much. I think it was one of the strongest in the series, especially given how short of a time they knew each other. Brandon was there for her in so many ways and their texts were so cute.

Also the NikoBran was *chef’s kiss* in this book. I can’t believe I read four books just for more background on them. It’s just a bonus I fell in love with (most of) them. Can’t wait to go reread God of Fury for the 100th time and have all these puzzle pieces finally come together.

I hate to say it, but Landon might’ve kicked Jeremy out of my #2 spot. My final score (until God of War comes out) goes: Nikolai/Brandon > Landon > Jeremy > Eli > Gareth > Killian > Remi > Creighton
