Better When the Sun Goes Down

Angelics #1

by Hunter Hyde

Ezra Gray is a recidivist…
… but an innocent one. He is not a convicted criminal who repeatedly offends, contrary to what the government would have their citizens believe. But that doesn’t matter in the eyes of a prejudiced population because people like Ezra—people with special abilities—instill fear in the powerless.

Conin Bresshet is normal. He’s co-captain of the football team, a hard-working student, and Ezra’s only friend. When Ezra lands on the radar of a recidivist trafficking network, run by the infamous Angela Barclay, Ezra discovers how coveted his powers truly are and the lengths Barclay’s mercenaries will go to obtain them. He’s instructed to find a boy named Atlas who promises safe passage to an elusive haven for AWOL recidivists—to get there, Ezra must leave the world he knew behind before he’s taken captive.

What holds him back is that Conin now knows what he is. But if Ezra goes, he will lose the only boy he’s loved. If he stays, he will endanger them both. Conin cannot bear the thought of Ezra’s uncertain future. He’s torn between following Ezra wherever his path will lead him or staying behind and being without the one boy who makes everything bearable. Will Conin continue to live his normal privileged life, or will he give up his hopes and dreams to protect Ezra in a life on the run?

BETTER WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN is a New Adult queer romance that delivers bloody action and thrilling twists. It's a plea to hold onto our communities in such trying times, in a world dimmed by hate.

Happy release day to this wonderful gem and congratulations to Hunter on his debut! ✨

What an awesome ride this book is! I really could not put this down as soon as I started. The premise is familiar in a lot of ways, scratching the "outsider with a special ability" itch in all the best ways. But it's also surprising, pressing in to the experience and rawness of being special. This book has such wonderful demi rep that I (a demi gal) appreciate greatly, but beyond that, the polyamory rep was so refreshing too. The story balances the characters and the high stakes really well, leaving me turning pages at record speed to find out what happened next.

Overall, if dystopian worlds, characters that love each other, and twisty turns are your thing, this book is for you. I'm so excited for the next installment, as well as everything else this author has in store.

(I read an early version of this book, but all opinions are my own!)

I can confidently say that Hunter Hyde is going to be a great author! He has perfectly heart-wrenching lines that shine with a whole lot of promise.

Ezra and Conin's relationship was so good to read. They're both messy humans, best friends but also secretly so in love, unwilling to risk their friendship for something they both crave but can't believe they could ever have. Add Atlas into the mix, who both helps push them together and gets tangled in the same dynamic.

While this book has the structural and line-level hallmarks of a debut (it would be disingenuous not to acknowledge that), it got a lot of things right and sprinkled in some brilliance that made me curious about what Hyde will write next!

[Gee Rothvoss · Rating 4 out of 5]

If this wasn't a wonderful ride! Having gone into the story mostly blind, as I hadn't heard of this author until I saw some posts talking about "Better When The Sun Goes Down" that piqued my curiosity, I had an absolute blast as I immersed myself in Ezra, Conin, and Atlas' tale.

Something that's always really interesting to see is the blend of science fiction and fantasy in our contemporary world, which was exactly what Hyde did here. What would happen if there were, all of a sudden, people with superpowers in our society? This is something Marvel and DC have lectured us about extensively, but in his debut novel Hunter Hyde examines what it might look like for people such as Ezra or Atlas, who haven't had the privilege of being celebrated and worshipped. Despite the fact that this book explores the fearmongering and discrimination on the basis of having supernatural abilities, it felt sadly appropriate to read it in 2025, while transgender and GNC individuals are being stripped of their rights and demonized by governments and regular people alike. Social commentary is most definitely present in the story for those willing to look into it, and I personally enjoyed that aspect quite a bit.

All three main characters were absolute sweethearts! Even though Atlas isn't introduced right away, he felt as deeply human and relevant as Ezra and Conin. There was an easiness to the three of them from the start that felt like getting a hug, and as the book progressed I loved how tenderly the author handled the growing closeness between them. What I also appreciated was the nuanced and realistic approach to romantic relationships involving people who have lived through very traumatic things and are struggling as a result. Oftentimes mental illness gets glossed over as soon as romance waltzes in, which can be infuriating to read about, but Hyde showed us instead that a relationship doesn't fix a person's issues - instead, it provides them with a safe space where they can fall apart in the messiest way possible knowing that there's someone who will build them back up.

Just as another reviewer pointed out, the vibes were IMMACULATE. "Better When The Sun Goes Down" felt exactly like returning to the Golden Age of Dystopian Literature, and I enjoyed the way it blended urban fantasy with the looming threat of societal descent into dystopia in response to these new superpowered individuals. As someone who is passionate about Social Psychology and Anthropology, I always love to read stories that wonder about how we get to the point of becoming a dystopian society. What happens along the way? What is the social mechanism by which we slowly become less and less free in favour of a false sense of security? How does it take over us, and more importantly - how do we fight back?

Overall this story was one hell of a ride, and I for one cannot wait for the next installment in the trilogy!!

Hunter Hyde’s debut novel, Better When the Sun Goes Down, is an intense, exciting, shocking, heartfelt, and hopeful journey. This story hits the ground running from page one. Readers will feel ALL the emotions as Hunter crafts this magical world (yet starkly reminiscent of reality).

Our three MMCs, Ezra, Conin, and Atlas are all young adults who have been forced into adulthood far sooner than any of them should have been. Each has mental health issues and traumas they must work through while literally trying to stay alive. This aspect of the story was sometimes brutally heartbreaking. But mental health issues are something so many people face and having representation showing that they truly aren't the end is so important.

Our MMCs do have varying queer rep and coming out stories. As well as their ultimate discovery of their polyamorous relationship. Hunter has done a spectacular job with queer representation, especially with these younger adult characters.

If you are ready for a diverse, heartfelt, love story with friendship, acceptance, and overcoming impossible situations, get this book!

Please check all trigger/content warnings.

Fade to black spice level (kissing, talk of body parts, and generally what is or may occur): 🌶️🌶️ (2/5)

[Hunter]

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Better When the Sun Goes is a New Adult novel. I originally wrote (and marketed) it as Upper Young Adult, but later decided to change it. As the trilogy progresses, the characters will age and mature, and more adult themes will be present.

Please take the Young Adult shelving with a grain of salt. While the characters are teenagers in this installment, they will age in the later books. Better When the Sun Goes Down notably has some tougher subjects present that solidified my decision to categorize it as NA. I ask that readers moving forward either ignore the Young Adult shelf or not categorize it as such.

Thank you for all your love and support :)

I was provided with an early access copy of this book in exchange for a review.

Growing up, it was a rare thing to see queer folk mentioned at all in the media, much less an intersection like what's been done in this book of a gay polycule between three young adults. I think if this story had found its way to me while I was growing up, this story would have been a milestone book in representation, having demisexual (aspec), gay, and non-monogamous representation. An older me is happy that we can have such queer representation published openly today, and as a reader I can easily see the seed of the idea in this book, what sparked the thought that this could be something interesting, but from a critical standpoint, I feel the writing of the book fell flat.

The book is written in first person perspective, alternating between the main two characters (Ezra and Conin), with a third perspective added later when they meet Atlas, who is the third spoke of their polycule. It is a modern fantasy/light science fiction story involving the existence of superhumans, while in my opinion primarily focusing on the budding romance between the three main characters over the larger implications of the premise that the world is set upon (the existence of superpowered individuals in a modern time).

I have a lot of gripes with this story. Beginning with the setting and the world, for a story involving superhumans (called Recidivists in this universe), readers get zero explanation for how powers work, their origins, the history of the world with them involved, or in general how Recidivists interact and have interacted with others through time. We get one introductory segment from a TV news report near the start of the book saying there was a US act passed in 1994, and can infer they existed before that but to barely any notice or attention. No further details, zero ripples in history compared to ours, they just phased into existence in a parallel modern day with a vague history footnote from thirty years ago as an explanation. It's a fascinating concept, even if it isn't put at the centre of the story.

This also adjoins to the point that the main two factions mentioned in the story (Angelics as the 'good guys' and the Barclay Network as the 'bad guys' acting on behalf of politicians and rich people for plausible deniability). We get an introductory line from one character about their existence, and that's it. They're just the guys trying to kill the main characters and the ones they're running to for help, and they keep doing this dance the entire book of run from danger. The depth of the setting is skin deep and barely fleshed out or thought through, the factions barely more than skeletal plot reasons for the main characters to dance about on the pages while they wrestle with the primary focus of the book: their emotional turmoil over budding feelings, and the development of their eventual relationship.

Speaking of the main characters, I'm of the opinion that you should expect to learn more about the main characters over time, but I don't feel that we really get to know more about the characters past a brief point of introducing them in the story. They're introduced with certain traits like being studious, liking books, enjoying Star Wars and having a favourite episode, being good at the violin, having a drinking problem, being depressed, and then that list of things we learn about them just stops expanding for the rest of the book. The same points keep being brought up repeatedly, even until the end of the book. The MAIN characters who are young adults going through arguably the biggest phase of identity development in their life barely change at all across the event. They react to things mostly the same from the start of the book and the end, and don't reflect any significant change you would expect from a young adult story like this.

I also felt that there was a problem in the book with character voice. While I personally have no issue with the choice of first person perspective used in the book, the three main characters were not sufficiently distinct enough for me to tell who was speaking most of the time without checking the title headers. I shouldn’t need to read a chapter title just to know which of the three teenage boys are speaking.

The story also suffers significantly from tone and pacing issues. Events in the story flip-flop between soft and awkward teenage bumbling around the conversation topic of crushes and love, to graphically violent and outright gory scenes. There are explicit scenes describing self harm, grievous injury by weapon or magic, and brutal physical violence, as well as graphic scenes of death, enacted by one character to another. These are the kinds of scenes that I feel simply slapping a warning on them isn’t enough, the tone of the story flat out doesn’t match the graphic violence shown and it is abrupt when it comes out of nowhere. The events in the story also swing wildly between tense and high adrenaline sequences (where violence and injury occur), followed by segments of awkwardness and emotional turmoil as the characters dance around their feelings, or long periods of waiting where the characters are just killing time.

I can honestly excuse some of these problems, but I think the biggest issue I have with this story is that ultimately the book goes nowhere and fails to live up to the world and the premise that it has set out. It supposits that people with powers exist, and have existed for decades in this world that somehow still looks just like ours today, and the fear of these people is why Ezra and Conin need to run at the start of the book. The fears are never really addressed, alternatives are not ever on the table, they’re just on the run and hounded by a singular enemy group for the rest of the book, up until the last page.

None of the places they stop at are ever ‘safe’ and readers are just left in a perpetual state of unrest, unease, and emotional blue balls because even when the trio try and talk about their feelings, it's awkward and stilted. Their talks almost always involve only two members of the polycule, and the miscommunication or lack of communication trope. Polyamory in real life involves significant amounts of communication with everyone involved, and we see basically NONE of that! Instead, the one time that all three of them talk openly about their feelings, it's just before the final fight that closes the book, and it skips any talk about how their relationship is going to work with all three people. We get barely a couple more chapters before the final confrontation happens, and then they’re in jeopardy again and someone’s injured in a potentially life threatening way for the umpteenth time in the book, which then ends with no resolution. The threat of bodily harm falls flat after the fourth time that someone gets injured in some terrible way but scrapes by and survives and after someone gets ripped in half in graphic detail. It's both poor representation of polyamory, in my opinion, and also poor writing to just keep throwing graphic scenes of emotional distress and injury with the threat of death as a way to increase tension or stakes in the book.

When the author keeps dragging out the emotional distress scenes of one member or more of the trio imagining horrible scenes happening to the others and emotionally catastrophising over possible events, it dulls the emotional notes of the story, both the positive romantic ones because they get overshadowed by the constant impending doom of shit hitting the fan again followed by exactly that happening, and also the emotional lows which just keep echoing the same beats of someone getting hurt in some terrible way and a character having a mental meltdown over it. The story just becomes an emotional sludge which I felt didn’t build much in terms of worldbuilding, didn’t develop the characters, and didn’t progress the events in the story in a meaningful way that made me want to come back to them.

I’ll summarise the story with one line, including spoilers. “They spent the whole story running away but still didn't end up somewhere safe, and people still got brutally hurt.” Like, as a reader, I have to ask the question "Why am I reading this book?" I didn't receive a satisfying ending or conclusion to justify the time I spent with the characters, the characters I'm supposed to root for barely spent much time together on the page while happy, and they are constantly getting hurt or their lives threatened. The cherry on top is the supporting side characters dying before I even get to know them or start liking them. I respect the idea the author had for their debut title, and I am thrilled to see queer non-monogamy representation in media, but I feel this is not a great execution of it.

Hunter Hyde’s Better When the Sun Goes Down is a stunning new adult queer dystopian debut that balances thrilling action with deep emotional resonance.

Ezra Gray is an Angelic, derisively labeled a “recidivist” by a future US government that criminalises anyone with special abilities. He’s not an offender. He’s not dangerous. He’s just a boy with a rare gift, a special ability. In this world, that alone is enough to mark him for persecution, tracking, even trafficking. Ezra’s spent his whole life hiding, navigating trauma and rejection under an abusive roof, hoping to stay invisible.

Conin Bresshet is everything Ezra isn’t, co-captain of the football team, well-liked, and “normal” in every visible way; and Ezra is the one person who makes his world feel bearable.

When Ezra is forced to flee after his own brother, Thax, betrays him to a trafficking network, he ends up on the radar of the powerful and merciless Angela Barclay. Conin must choose between the safety of his privileged, predictable life or give it all up to be with and protect the boy he’s come to love.

What unfolds is a high-stakes, emotionally rich journey across a dangerous, divided country. Alongside a rogue contact named Atlas, Ezra and Conin set off in search of Proctus, a hidden sanctuary for AWOL Angelics. And through it all, betrayals, losses, close calls, and hard truths, they find something even rarer than a place to hide: real connection. At its very core, Better When the Sun Goes Down is a one-of-a-kind love story. It is also clever, well constructed and heartfelt.

Hyde’s world building is confident, the emotional stakes are real, and the characters are so lovable it hurts. Ezra, Conin, and Atlas grow in ways that feel both earned and aching. The relationships feel organic, honest, and so easy to root for. Hyde handles trauma, love, and resilience with much care.

Better When the Sun Goes Down tackles themes of coming of age, survival, identity and chosen family while building a vivid, dystopian world haunted by corruption, betrayal, and the shadow of violence. The prose is confident and the emotional beats hit hard. What starts as a story of survival becomes one of resilience, healing, and hope. It isn't perfect, but the writing sings, and the pacing kept me turning pages.

I didn’t want to leave this story behind. I was all in with Atlas, Ezra and Conin and I’d follow them anywhere. Looking forward to the next instalment. #pudseyrecommends

4,75⭐️

I went into this book with zero expectations - just vibes. And honestly? I was not disappointed.☺️🫶

The concept of the story is so cool, I really loved it.I'll be real, though - at first, I had a hard time getting into it. I was a little confused in the beginning, but that feeling faded quickly. Once I was in, I really fell for the story.😌

And the characters?? The dynamic is thick, intense, and so well written. Ezra, Conin, and Atlas complement each other perfectly - I honestly can't imagine the story working if even one of them were missing.

Atlas brings this gentle, empathetic energy. Conin has this natural caretaker vibe. And Ezra? He's got both - and tbh, he needs a lot of love himself. The magical elements were also super well thought-out!😮‍💨😩

If you like emotionally rich character dynamics, strong bonds, and a touch of magic - this one's for you.🫶

Reading this book again was an amazing experience. Reading the beta to this version was really good. Because it been awhile since I last read this book, it felt thrilling to read it again as a finalized version.

I fell in love with the iconic trio Ezra, Atlas and Conin and I feel like I could understand them more individually. The connection they have for each other is honestly so beautiful. It almost made me cry to be honest. Honestly chefs kiss. 😘

I’m so proud of you Hunter, I truly believe you will continue to work on more amazing works such as this. Amazing Work Bestie!! <3 ⭐️10/10 ⭐️

“Better When The Goes Down”
By Hunter Hyde

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🏳️‍🌈

Congratulations to your Hunter on your first book and thank you allowing me read it your book before it’s published.

Review: Overall I really enjoyed reading this book. It honestly was a roller coaster. The up and downs. How it paces will pick up and make it nearly impossible to put down, and then it would slow down to build on character growth and development and back story. I will admit the first few chapters were really slow, but once’s your past that you get that roller coaster effect. The character growth between Ezra and Conin is just amazing. The fact I had tears in my eyes in the middle of the book is also a good sign in my book. There are times where I felt we needed some more description. For instance what Chrysler? Are we in a car, SUV, or minivan maybe even adding a make and model would have helped. I’m probably just being nit picky.

Officially Synopsis:
“Ezra Gray is a recidivist, but an innocent one. He is not a convicted criminal who repeatedly offends, contrary to what the government would have their citizens believe. But that doesn’t matter in the eyes of a prejudiced population because people like Ezra—people with special abilities—instill fear in the powerless.”

“Conin Bresshet is normal. He’s co-captain of the football team, a hard-working student, and Ezra’s only friend. When Ezra lands on the radar of a recidivist trafficking network, run by the infamous Angela Barclay, Ezra discovers how coveted his powers truly are and the lengths Barclay’s mercenaries will go to obtain them. He’s instructed to find a boy named Atlas who promises safe passage to an elusive haven for AWOL recidivists—to get there, Ezra must leave the world he knew behind before he’s taken captive.”

First of all, thank you, Hunter, for providing me with an ARC copy of this book.

Rating: 3.8 ⭐s

By page 20 I already knew this is going to be yet another series I'd be glued to. The fight scenes were so well constructed that I could not put my eReader down. Absolutely delicious! I could just close my eyes and visualize exactly what was happening. However, there were some parts of the book that I could tell were either a little rushed or didn't receive the same attention. But it wasn't something that took away from the book or made me want to stop.

As a late-diagnosed Autistic Latina, Ezra and Atlas hit so close to home for me. This book is absolutely a very loud commentary on what we are currently facing as a country here in the US, and I am very appreciative of this. It didn't come off as "too on the nose" or as an "X-men wanna-be". It's exactly what I feel Hunter intended it to be when creating it, and I received it with open arms.

The stereotypical traits when it came to Atlas' mom did irk me a bit, but I'll let it slide, considering everything else.

Another thing that bothered me, but it's mostly a me issue, rather than an issue with the book, it's the "miscommunication" trope. I'm not a big fan of plots between characters that can easily be solved by just communicating with each other. But again, this wasn't the main focus of the book, so it wasn't something that pulled me away from the main story.

The way the boys dealt with everything felt very real, considering their background and what they had already been through before this entire ordeal began. I could keep talking about this story...

But overall, I really enjoyed it! I am so excited for the next book in the Angelics series. I am hooked. Great work, Hunter!

Thank you, Hunter Hyde, for the access to an early copy in exchange for a review.

Reading this took me back to my teenage years reading series like Replica and The Guardians of Time. This book feels like those two series had a baby together and the baby turned out to be really, really queer.

Despite being marketed as New Adult (which usually deals with the transition from adolescence to actual adulthood), this book feels very Young Adult / Teenager, since it deals more with the transition from childhood to adolescence, finding your identity, coming out and first loves. The characters are technically adults, as in they are 18 or about to be, but they are high school students living with their parents. Teenage readers will enjoy the emotional focus of the narration the most.

I will not judge the plot, since I stopped reading at about the 50% mark at a literal disclaimer about alcohol drinking (see?, even 20-somethings are too old for that kind of sh*t), but I still think that the idea is interesting (although it is developed with the consistency and logic of the Replica series, IYKYK), and the setting up of a queer polyamorous romance is something I would have killed for as a teenager.

As far as debuts go, this book is a case of 'cool idea, clumsy execution', but I can see it becoming the obsession of readers that happen to get to it at the right time and age. If you like the works of Marianne Curley or Marylin Kaye, you will love this series too.

🌄Book Review: Better When the Sun Goes Down🌄

„I left for a boy who may never want me… leaving a mother who can’t live without me.“

Thank you so much to Hunter for sending me an e-arc of his book.

Book: Better When the Sun Goes Down
Author: Hunter Hyde
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Genre: New Adult dystopian/lgbtq+ romance

➕This book brought me back to the good old days of when I just discovered Adam Silvera.

We immediately get engulfed into the story and I felt protective over Ezra from the very beginning.

I was very intrigued by the fantasy aspect of this book. I think the concept is actually so unique and cool.

The writing style was nice for a debut novel, but my favorite parts were the fighting sequences. Hunter writes his action scenes very well and descriptive. I loved how brutal the sometimes got. Like, my jaw was open for some of them.

The relationship between Ezra, Conin (who I relate to the most) & Atlas was so beautiful and wholesome. They were all still individuals with their own struggles and stories, but the way they all care so much and deeply about each other was just so amazing to read about.

➖The pacing was sometimes all over the place and the middle dragged on for a bit too long, imo.

Overall, I would call this a successful debut and I‘ll definitely pick up the sequel.

All opinions are my own!

[Kaisbooknook · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am amazed at how gorgeous this book is, and am overwhelmed with how much I love these characters.

All of the characters in this book were so easy for me to connect to. I was immediately rooting for them. As I read, I cared about their livelihoods like they were real, and not fictional. Each interpersonal relationship is written slightly differently, which is so engaging. The romance subplot is incredible, and the love these 3 boys have for each other warms my heart.

The action and thriller portions of the book were so well done. Reading had my heart racing, and my anxiety increasing. The storyline was absolutely gripping, and I was amazed from start to finish.

I would recommend this book with zero hesitation.
This is one of the very few times that I've been able to connect with characters so deeply, and feel for them as if they were real people. I absolutely cannot wait for the second book in the series, and I am anticipating another thrilling story with loveable characters.

A huge thank you to the author Hunter Hyde for this ARC!

[Jan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’m a complete sucker for stories where characters fight hard for their happily ever after—and all three guys really went through it in this one.
A good chunk of the story focuses on Ezra and Conin and figuring out who they are as people and how much they care about each other, even without saying it out loud—until they meet Atlas.
Who, by the way, was definitely my favorite character. In my opinion, he added the emotional balance Ezra and Conin were missing. He pushed them to be more open with each other in ways they hadn’t been before.
And I think the best part was that Atlas felt like his own person—not just a third add-in to the story. He was just as complex as Ezra and Conin, with his own dreams and fears, and I loved getting to see all three of them support each other through a pretty dark world and all their struggles.

Is Gud. 5/5.

Just kidding! Alright, so there won't be any spoilers here, so don't worry about that. This book has just about everything that I think anyone would want in this type of genre. It's literally got everything. It's a whirlwind of emotions, an amusement ride that you won't want to get off of. It is also paced in a way that you won't feel like any part is overstaying its welcome. The author knows when to kick things up a notch and you won't be left wanting.

P.S Atlas is best boy.

This was a very interesting idea, which need in my opinion, a lot of editing. The pacing is all over the place, the balance between mental health/romance/action is almost non-existent, the vibe swings from angsty teen drama to survival and gore and back again.
