Neurovance: A Dark MM Techno-Thriller Romance

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could rate this 6 stars I would, Neurovance is one of the best books I have ever read. The plot, the spice, the character development; it was impeccably done. Neurovance exceeded all my expectations. I mainly read MM romance and this book is a work of art. I was pulled in from page one- the way Alex can build up a world and its characters is transformative. The premise of this book is extraordinary. To write a book about the misuse of AI, a tech company, and the innovations they created with memory extraction technology and the unethical use and impact it had on the characters of the story was so captivating. I immediately fell in love with Milo Murphy, who is the sweetest boy. There are three parts to this story. I usually feel impatient when stories jump around timelines but each jump was so thrilling. It made you feel the big moments of the story even more if that’s possible. I felt like I was ripped out of my life and implanted in a near dystopian future and first hand witnessing the complicated but haunting love between Milo and ‘the forgotten’. The type of love they share is unforgettable and against all odds. The way ‘the forgotten’s’ character changes throughout the three parts of this story was soul wrenching. I also really loved Nova’s character. Seb’s character development was UNBELIEVABLE. I have so much more to say about Seb but I will just leave it there for now. This was my first ever ARC, and I am so lucky for it to have been Neurovance…

Well, it’s official. If Alexandra writes it, I’m going to read it. I don’t think I’ve read over 500 pages that fast in my life, lol. And apparently I like hurting myself because, after how this ended, I want to go back and read it again immediately to see if I can 𝘴𝘦𝘦 more with the perspective I had to swallow in those last few chapters. IYKYK 😭💔 There were multiple instances in this read that had me choked up. Both of these MMCs are so precious, I almost couldn’t stand it. It was so wholesome and pure, and what they went through was heartbreaking. I had to remind myself that they were fictional characters and weren’t going to go anywhere when I put this down to go to bed last night, because I really did not want to stop reading. I’m sad that it’s over, but their HEA was so worth it, even if it did have me in tears. There was also so much more to this book than romance, though, and a lot of what the author was trying to show or tell you with this story really resonated. For me, personally, I felt it the most with Milo’s character. He had a lot of inner strength, but you wouldn’t guess someone who dealt with all he had would. I loved that he held onto his softness even when he had to be strong, and it makes me feel okay for holding on to my own as well, despite what my own life has thrown at me. Reads like this remind me that I’m not the only one. It’s almost like validation because there’s a person behind the story you’re reading, and their voice is what brought this…
