“Don’t cry, little brother. I’ll meet you at the pond, okay? We can catch frogs together, like old times.”
Alexandra’s ability to make me cry with her books should be studied
I don’t even know how to start other than saying this fucking hurt and not the kind of hurt that just leaves you sobbing. No. It was the kind of hurt that makes your heart beat a little faster and leaves this weight on your chest. It was so deep and raw I don’t even know how to explain it.
The characters were so beautifully broken, and I just wanted to give them all a big hug.
(Gotta admit, I caught the Milo Murphy thing a little late)

This was a BETA read… review to come when ARCs are released
Review of advance copy received from Author
Getting to read an ARC of Neurovance was an honorary experience, and even though I may sound as a teen on crack, this review is 100% honest 🙌
My biggest regret is that I won’t be able to read it for the first time again 😢
Alexandra is one of my 100% hit authors because her books are whole-body experiences. Playlists, art, atmosphere, emotion - it’s never just reading, it’s immersion. And the plots are so different from what we usually see in the genre, it’s just insane 🤯
As much as I was dying to read Neurovance, I took my time and only read with zero distractions (do yourself a favour and do the same).
And still it was too short 😭
Which is insane to say about a 600+ page book, but it never drags, it’s not slow, there are no unnecessary details. I could have read 600 more, but at the same time, it is perfect as it is 💙
And believe me, you do not see almost any of what’s going to happen coming, right to the very end.
With Alex it’s impossible to predict what kind of delicious you’re going to get, and somehow, Neurovance was even better than I anticipated 🥹
From the first page, I was in a chokehold.
No prologue, no intros.
No easing in.
You’re thrown straight into motion, and the intensity is immediate and relentless.
The playlist IS NOT an accessory, it’s part of the narrative.
It’s not a random selection of songs for the mood we are used to.
Each song is chosen for a reason, and the experience is genuinely incomplete without it. (Brace yourself for Ch68 btw 🫠)
The connection between the MMCs hits you in the face with how real it feels, with its innocence, purity, and emotional truth. You never doubt it, and the chemistry is palpable and intense. Even the smallest tender moments, gestures and smiles feel so real 🤍
And those kisses on the tip of the nose were one of my favourite details 🤍
“Somehow, he managed to always make those two syllables sound like music.
He made my name sound like poetry.”
The intimacy is written in such a uniquely-Alex way; it’s jaw-droppingly sensual and emotional, somehow different from the standard dark romance formula. It doesn’t feel repetitive, it doesn’t get old, and it’s insanely hot 🥵
Important thing for me was that the darkness is perfectly calibrated. Not depraved or performative, just dark enough to hurt and matter.
The ending made me cry for God knows how many chapters. Even though I sensed something like that would be coming, it didn’t prepare me for how emotional it was. I did not expect to cry my eyes out for the side character!! 😭
That final twist didn’t feel manipulative, it felt unexpected, but earned, and the ending was simply perfect 💜
Alexandra doesn’t just write books. She guarantees a very emotional experience, makes you ask questions and raises important matters. You read both Author’s Notes and End Notes because she actually talks to her readers. Her books do stand out and Neurovance is easily one of those you won't forget 😻

I'd like to thank the author for providing an advanced reader copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions shared are my own.
NO ONE TALK TO ME, ALEX WILL BE RECIEVING MY THERAPY BILL HOLY CRAP.
When I cried at the dedication, I knew I was in for a wild ride with this story. Milo from the get go had this energy that made me want to protect him and keep him safe. Learning his story, especially with the way in which it was told was so beautiful and even more impactful. Because we understood him more and could see clearly how things played out from his side especially emotionally.
The forgotten was such an interesting character, in a stalker way that was very hot. He was so messed up and needed help of his own, but the fact that he went through so much and survived showed that he was a fighter and a survivor even before he knew it himself. He also had the biggest heart, and little things from the beginning had me emotional as I understood them in the narrative of the overall story.
Sebastian had me so conflicted for so much of this, but I loved him in his own way despite the issues he displayed. He deserved so much better than the hand he was dealt and I hope he finds the pond he deserves after it all. It is important to note that I would burn the world down for NOVA, she is the only form of AI I will accept, and any other is instantly in the sin bin. She was so much more than she could have been, and it would be an honour to have someone like her in my corner.
The spice was incredibly hot, I had to put my kindle down several times after reading a scene because it was wild. It was also perfect for the characters and seeing it in the context of their journey and learning. Also again it was so hot.
Overall this was such a phenomenal and emotional read and I loved every second of it even if it did destroy me and crush my heart at points. I highly recommend. If you like your MM books then this is for you not just for the spice, but the plot, the characters, the development and the pain and suffering. What a journey you are in for when you pick this one up and I so recommend that you do!

This was my first ever ARC read and it did not disappoint. Alexandra Pierre knows how to do an MM and has proven that time and time again. This book had everything. Techo Thriller, dark, tension, ache, yearning, sadness, redemption, spice…ohhhh the spice.
Our masked man. Such a complex character this book had you thinking things in the beginning that will make you second-guess yourself over and over again and the way you think in the beginning will completely change at the end. He has everything you want from a masked hottie..dark, mysterious and kind of scary. Then he turns into every girl’s dream.
Then you have Milo. Milo is also such a complex character in the beginning of the book. We see a timid, super nervous, and clumsy nerd. Just the cutest little potato. But as the book goes on, you see his confidence come out and by the end of the book you’ll be rooting for him, because I know I was.
The spice between the characters was immaculate. Alexander Pierre knows how to do MM spice in a way that has your toes curling.
Overall, this was just an amazing MM dark techno thriller romance. Don’t worry, you don’t need to know anything about technology to be able to follow this book. As someone who knows nothing about AI I was able to follow it completely. There was no instance that I was confused or didn’t understand the wording. She did such a good job to make sure everybody understood it. That it would go well for people who did know a lot about technology, but also for people who didn’t.
This was a 10 out of 10 read for me. I highly recommend it and it will definitely be adding this book to my library.

This was so different than anything Alex has written. I don’t usually gravitate towards this type of book, where it’s borderline sci-fi and elements of future biotechnology. But you just come to fall in love with Jay and Milo.
Milo is so freaking sweet and clumsy and just presh. Jay is a good balance for him, they compliment each other so well. It’s so precious to me that Jay picks out his outfits and ties his shoes when they’re out and about so Milo doesn’t trip — because he’s prone to this LOL.
This had action elements, thriller elements and plot twists. What I didn’t expect from this was to cry. The end portion of this book will just take your heart and turn it, and it didn’t stop until the actual very end.
It was refreshing to read something out of my norm, but also amazing to see how Alex has so many layers as an author.

Where do I even start to review this book? If you asked me what I thought about it.. I’d say it’s an excellent, albeit heartbreaking story of two lovers finding their way back to each other against all odds.
Milo & Jay will forever have my heart, and good lord this book has some of the most excellent spicy scenes I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading.
On a deeper level? It’s a punishingly accurate exploration of depression, trauma, suicidal ideation, and that sometimes love isn’t enough, and true healing isn’t always possible.
I’ll never forget Seb, or the sobbing mess his story left me in. If you’re lucky enough to not be able to relate to him, you’re incredibly fortunate. And for those of you that do, like me.. my god it hurts but you’re not alone ❤️
There’s also a gut-punch of dystopia that sits far too close to our current reality of companies disregarding ethics in the pursuit of greed and control. Never stopping to think that just because they can do something, should they? When we allow unethical practices simply because they don’t affect us personally, we leave the door open for more and more atrocities to take place under the protection of our apathy.
This is one of those rare stories I guarantee will stick with me for a lifetime, and I’m so grateful to have been gifted an ARC and to be part of the early review team.

Review of advance copy
There’s a reason why Alexandra is one of my favorite authors. I don’t know how she does it, but her MM books keep getting better & better. 🖤
This book had me in a damn chokehold. I wanted to stay up at night cause i needed to know what was gonna happen.
I gasped, i screamed and i had a LOT of ‘WTF’ moments.. This was a wild ride ya’ll.🤯
The spice in this book was - Chef’s Kiss - 🥵
The love and understanding Milo & Jay have is so beautiful.
But the plot? Oh my!
I was not expecting this. And the twists and turns…
The lesson we can learn from this book too.. Milo’s essay..
Oh and , is it really an Alexandra st Pierre book if you don’t end up crying?? 😭
‘I’ll meet you at the pond.”
Okay, come and pick me up…😭
I feel like, whatever i’m writing about this book won’t do it justice.. so i’ll say. READ IT. READ IT. READ IT. 🖤
And @alexandrastpierrebooks , please keep on writing your masterpiece MM books. I’ll read them all, again and again.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I knew a little about this book going in: a dystopian, dark romantic MM, techno-thriller. I have yet to be disappointed with any of Ms. St. Pierre’s writing and try to go into all novels blind. Well, you can definitely add this book to the list of masterpieces that are created by her.
It would be an understatement to say I felt all of the feelings on the emotional spectrum while I read this book. I fell in love with the characters by the end, while also feeling alternate emotions towards them in the beginning. Some needed protection, patience and love, while others needed a swift shanking. I could not put the book down until I finished it, which doesn’t happen often with me……squirrel.
I can now say this confidently: if she writes it, I’m reading. Her kind and honest words at the end make me want to support this author even more: Alexandra St. Pierre-you deserve Sunshine!

Review of advance copy
Oh. My. God. I went into this ARC expecting a dark techno romance and while yes it was that, I was not expecting the emotional DAMAGE it caused. I’d like to say that I made it to chapter 98 before I promptly burst into tears. Y’all need tissues for chapters 98-105. While the whole story had a chokehold on me and I was damn near in angry tears so many times, those 7 chapters I sobbed like a freaking baby. The attachment I have with these characters is unreal. I feel like Alexandra did such an amazing job at using this amazing story to really emphasize the dangers of technological advancement in today’s day and age and how HORRIBLY it can go wrong even when it starts with the best of intentions. I won’t be getting over this one for a loooooong time. I might need even more therapy after reading Neurovance.

ARC review.
I will meet you at the pond!!
Wow, this book put me through it in the best way. Like all the emotions, and yes it’s also got some great spice! But their books usually do, if you’ve not experienced a book by this author before just know you should have tissues handy and with this one have a WHOLE box. Milo and The Forgotten go through a lot together and I don’t want to say too much about their story as I don’t want to spoil it. But yes, it is a love story, it’s also a story of friendship, with a tech/sci fi subplot which makes comments on timely subject matters in society today ie ethical AI creation/usage, and with having tech we have to think of ALL of its uses etc. And this all plays into the relationships of the characters and moves the plot along beautifully.

ARC review of this book.
I was captured by this book from the first chapter. I loved Milo and Jay the relationship they had felt natural and the flirty banter kept me smiling. The emotional damage caused by the 2nd part of this amazing book made me need a few minutes to collect myself. There were so many positive things about reading this ARC copy. I loved Milo (my-loh), Sebastian and Jays friendship was heart breaking and the ending was so well done. This is easily the best book I have read this year. Alexander st Pierre has done an outstanding job. I didn’t think she could beat the mercenary and the mortician but this is hands down in a league of its own. I can’t wait for the official release so I can get a physical copy of this book. Amazing.

Thanks Alex for the Arc.
Hands down one of my favorite Alex books and that's saying a lot. Hands down one of my favorite books ever.
Words cannot adequately describe how I'm feeling after this book finished me. I can tell she put her entire soul into this story as she ripped mine apart. I've been crying for nearly an hour now and I'm not sure when the tears will subside. This story is brilliant, beautiful, and incredible.
Everyone read this book. It's a gift.
Thanks Alex for the Arc.
Hands down one of my favorite Alex books and that's saying a lot. Hands down one of my favorite books ever.
Words cannot adequately describe how I'm feeling after this book finished me. I can tell she put her entire soul into this story as she ripped mine apart. I've been crying for nearly an hour now and I'm not sure when the tears will subside. This story is brilliant, beautiful, and incredible.
Everyone read this book. It's a gift.

ARC Review
Where to even begin!
I could not put this book down. I went into this book blind, and it did not disappoint. I loved the way that this story was written!!
Once again, Alexandra has made my cry with one of her books. Absolutely all of the feelings!
I will most definitely be reading this again and again!
"Maybe… Maybe Heaven was a tiny overgrown pond filled with croaking frogs, lazy turtles, and smiles so bright they put the fireflies to shame."
