Ivory (Alabaster Penitentiary)

I loved that story so so much. Honestly, this is my favourite MM series at all. Why? I think because of the characters. Everyone is a special personality, different but lovable. It was good to read that this book answers every question. My favorite part is the relationship between Ivory and Velle. I kind of regret that it couldn't really deepen. But I understand why. The connection between them is palpable. The scene when Ivory washes Velle's hands....:) SPOILER I was under its influence for a long time - when the sentence that serves as an explanation for the whole first book turned out - when Kemper said: "Imagine me" OH MY GOD! What was a bit too much for me was all the weddings at the end. This was a bit too sappy. But along with this, I loved it. It was a nice ending when the boys were sitting at the table again. Pen, you will be missed!

OMG this was everything I thought it would be and then some! We finally get all of the answers! I had an idea of some things from clues we had been given along the way, but A LOT was 🤯! So many feels! I fell in love with The Ivory. I was pretty confident I would, because Nyla K is an expert at humanizing the villain and redemption arcs! Not ALL villains, but the ones who have squishy spots burried down deep. As for his mystery love interest- you would have to be an irredeemable villain to NOT fall in love with that person as well! They fit in with the AP crew perfectly 🥰. POV chapters from most of the AP MCs was *chef's kiss*. It was genius and really helped tie everything together 💗! It was also nostalgic AF...SWOON. So many laugh out loud moments! Nyla K humor is my favorite. Although there was a lot of heavy stuff in here, it all balances out perfectly. Speaking of signature Nyla K elements, THE SPICE 🥵🫠🔥! Holy moly, I can't wait to listen to the audiobook! I'll admit, I did cry my eyes out at the end but it was a happy cry 😭🥰! It was so satisfying and a perfect conclusion to the series. I'm looking forward to peaking in on them in the future on Patreon/Vacation stories 🥰. Infinity stars all around ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
