I loved all of the the queer representation of this book! Overall this one wasn’t really for me though

Steven has magic that is extremely dangerous... to the point where after he kissed a boy said boy’s head literally exploded. Steven’s magic is related to his emotions, whenever he feels a strong emotions things get dangerous. He’s been trying to keep his magic a secret and trying his hardest not to feel too much but with a determined best friend who won’t stop asking questions, things are about to get tricky. Especially when a dangerous organization begins asking questions about him and Freya and her boyfriend Marcus and his friend Troy also join in. They have to find a way to discover what the organization wants with Steven and how to help him. Steven meets a handsome stranger who claims that he shares the same magic as Steven and that he could help Steven control them. Can Freya and co help Steven and can Steven trust the cute stranger he meet in a cafe bathroom? This was a multi POV story featuring magic, friendship, and more. Unfortunately this one just didn’t work for me and I think it might be one of those “its me not you” scenarios. The writing style really wasn’t for me and I found the overall story hard to invest in. So while this wasn’t for me if you like queer magic stories then definitely give it a go maybe you’ll have a better time with it than I did.

*Thanks Netgalley and Black & White Publishing, Ink Road for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

Thank you to NetGalley and Black & White Publishing for approving my request to read an arc of this book.

The premise of this book sounded interesting and had a lot of science fiction elements that I enjoy so I was excited to start it. Unfortunately I ended up dnfing as I didn’t feel this book was for me in the end. I didn’t get on with the writing style and found the characters to be very judgemental which was off putting to me. While these are just my personal opinions, I think others would enjoy it, as what I did read wasn’t triggering beyond the use of the ableist C word being used to describe a type of loneliness.
