Rave to Ruin #2
Relapse
Book Two in the Rave to Ruin Duet
They call it relapse.
The part after the high, when the colors fade and the music dies—
when your body still aches for something it can’t have.
Blair knows what it feels like.
She should’ve walked away.
Should’ve left the overdose buried with the lies, the blood, the men who ruined her.
But the past doesn’t let go.
It claws back in.
With dark eyes and sharper hands. With two obsessions that were never finished with her.
This isn’t the comedown.
It’s the relapse.
And this time, survival won’t be enough.

4.5⭐️ Just like book one, I was completely hooked from the very first page. The vibes were once again absolutely immaculate, and somehow this book managed to pull me in even faster. I couldn’t put it down and was thinking about it every time I wasn’t reading.
One of my favorite things about the first book was getting all three POVs, and that continued to be a huge highlight here. Being inside everyone’s heads made the tension, jealousy, and chaos even more addictive. Dagger and Noir still have me in a chokehold 🫠 possessive, unhinged, and completely obsessed with Blair. And Blair? Still the absolute queen. Strong, hilarious, stubborn, and impossible not to root for.
I also loved the addition of Mina. Her friendship with Blair brought such a fun dynamic to the story and gave us some lighter moments between all the madness.
And can we talk about that ending?! Even after being blindsided by book one’s unconventional HEA, this book still managed to shock me. I caught one tiny piece of the twist before it happened, but the rest completely knocked me sideways. I was staring at the page wondering HOW I didn’t see it coming.
This series just keeps getting better, and honestly, I would’ve happily read another 200 pages with these characters

Review of advance copy received from Author
Relapse by Nova Kane absolutely body slammed me into emotional damage and then had the audacity to look hot while doing it.
Nova really said “you thought Overdose was chaotic? Hold my tequila.” Because WHAT WAS THAT ENDING??? Respectfully??? WTF??? Nova really threw a grenade into my brain and walked away. I finished this book staring at the wall like Blair after every questionable life choice.
“His eyes track me. Slow. Steady, like he’s not surprised. Like I’m his favorite fucking fix.”
EXCUSE ME??? Your honor, I folded immediately.
This book is literally enemies to enemies to horny to trauma bonding to enemies again and I ate up every single toxic second. Dagger and Noir are walking red flags covered in tattoos and emotional repression and somehow that made them hotter. Explain that to me.
Dagger saying, “I missed you too, little relapse,” actually rewired my brain chemistry. And Noir?? Sir???
“You think I forgot you? Forgot what you taste like? Sound like?”
LOCK HIM UP. IMMEDIATELY. Right after he says it again.
The banter in this book deserves its own award because Blair’s inner monologue had me CACKLING:
“Here she goes again, folks. Watch her make the same mistake twice—no, wait—bigger this time.”
Honestly Blair is me. Blair is all of us. A woman making terrible decisions because two sexy alphaholes exist.
And can we talk about the chemistry?? The spice?? THE SPICE JUST KEPT SPICING.
“Come apart for me, little relapse,” had me ascending into another dimension.
But underneath all the neon lights, partying, chaos and sexual tension thick enough to cut with a knife, this story is DARK. Addiction, betrayal, grief, death, it’s messy and painful and addictive in the best way possible. Nova somehow balances absolute emotional destruction with unhinged humor perfectly.
Mina was also SUCH a good addition. Blair desperately needed a bestie equally as chaotic and sarcastic to survive this nightmare. Their friendship was instantaneous, honestly carried some of the heavier moments and I loved every second of them together.
Also this line:
“There’s no reason one man should be allowed to look that good while simultaneously being that emotionally repressed.”
Blair, babe, YOU GET ME.
Relapse is exactly what the title promises, a full blown spiral back into Severance Point with toxic men, bad decisions, emotional damage, and enough sexual tension to power a small city. And honestly? I’d relapse too.
I need the next book injected directly into my bloodstream immediately.

I. Am. Speechless. That ending!! Excuse me?! Mind blown, again.
If Overdose was a wild, addictive ride, this second book took it up a notch. From the surface this book was full of glittering neon lights, partying and sparkle, but underneath it all was a heavier story full of addiction, betrayal and death. Messy, dark and chaotic in the best possible way.
Blair continued to be an amazing FMC. She came to Severance Point to disappear and to find answers, but got caught in something bigger and more dangerous. She is unhinged, badass character who doesn’t take shit from anyone. Her inner thoughts are hilarious and she made me laugh out loud multiple times. I really love her as a character and her character development.
The MMCs, Dagger and Noir were toxic and addictive, but so hot. The banter between Blair and especially Dagger was top tier. These three are so toxic together, but in the best possible way. And the spice just kept spicing.
Mina was a nice addition to the story. She seemed like a great friend and I loved how she matched Blair’s crazy. I loved the Full Send mentions and seeing some of the familiar characters from that series (if you haven’t read Full Send yet, go read it now!)
Nova really knows how to throw a great plot twist right at the end, because respectfully, wtf was that!? lol
I loved every second of this book and I need more like right now!
“You were literally just mad. Stay on that. Be mad. Be a bitch. Be difficult.”
“You two don’t get to decide what I can handle. And you definitely don’t get to play savior after dragging me into whatever the fuck that was, then disappearing like the world’s hottest witness protection program.”
“Thank you. I work very hard at making bad decisions selectively.”
“What’s the matter, little addict? Thought you wanted your memory refreshed.”
I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review. Receiving ARC didn’t affect my opinion of the book.

The ending of Nova’s books always make my heart POUND 🥵🥴🥴🥴
Overdose was a 5⭐️ read for me so I was so excited to see Relapse was on its way with new characters ! This story was just as addicting and enthralling.
This book is, in fact, a Relapse. Coming back to Severance Point was the best worst idea Blaire ever had, and boy is she going to learn to regret becoming addicted to Dagger and Noir.
You instantly fall back into trouble with this fmc, knowing it will be a wild ride. Mina was just as toxic but twice as fun. She was bubbly and definitely something this story needed — a good girlfriend to get through all of this trauma with.
If one possessive alphahole wasn’t enough, here is two. You won’t be able to pick a favorite, that’s just how life goes when it comes to sexy tatted men who are addicted to you.
This book felt like constant enemies to enemies to ??? to enemies and I loved it. There were a few times where there were some discrepancies in actions or situations (clothes were already off but mentioned fabric again, things kept getting switched around) but this was a vibes read and I couldn’t care less, I ate it up anyway.
I don’t think it lived up to Overdose, but it was still a good little Relapse.

Raves, booze, drugs, drugs, and more drugs, and a twist that has you bleeding out all over the pages! This is a divine and addictive conclusion (???) to the Rave to Ruin duet with Blair and all that self-destruction she wears like armor spinning wildly out of control as she parties her way right back to Severence Point, Dagger and Noir calling a truce in the name of protecting Blair from a drug kingpin and herself, a new player on the scene, and the truth about her sister ripping your dang heart out.
The chemistry still burns bright and hot and the rave scene still spins around you in dizzying neon waves, but the story dives off into darker, heavier, and a lot more dangerous. Blair is a standout FMC as she drowns her grief, her hurt, and pretty much every other feeling with alcohol, drugs, and sex, the honest fear and burning need Dagger has to keep her safe and keep her alive is sexy and sweet and the perfect counterpoint to his obsessive need for her, Mina is a fantastic addition adding a little more insight to Brynne’s death and aiding and abetting all of Blair’s bad decisions, and Noir is literally the saying still waters run deep surprising you more than any other character in the book. With vibes that are vibing, a plot that sucks you straight down the rabbit hole with Blair, and some genuinely outstanding writing this is basically an epic must read novella!

⭐️4.5
I don’t even know where to unpack how I’ve just felt.
I’m sat questioning my own life choices.
Nova you threw that twist in like it was just a breath of fresh air.
I cannot, and I meant CANNOT, get over that.
How could you do this to us 😭😱
Blair is a chaotic ball of glitter and bad choices. But those choices, she doesn’t learn from and continue to push past the point.
Dagger, I have no words for him, and all the words.
I fell in love with him in Overdose, and I love him even more.
He may be the bad boy drug dealer biker with sexy tattoos and piercings to make your toes curl and eyes cross. But he’s also the guy you want by your side, fighting with you, for you.
Noir, wow so much to say.
I’m thinking if I even read it all right of if my own brain made it up, but nope, it’s right there in black and white with all the glitter, blood and twists.
There is so many times I laughed, mainly at Blair and her twitty come backs and comments.
Now I feel like I need 7-10 business days to allow my brain to catch up before I can fully process what happened.
But again, another fantastic book from Nova.

Thank you to Nova Kane for the ARC.
After giving Overdose 5 stars, I was excited to jump back into Blair’s story, and Relapse did not disappoint. Blair is still just as chaotic, impulsive, and frustrating as she was in book one, but honestly, that’s part of what makes her so entertaining to read.
What I loved most about this book was getting deeper into the mystery surrounding Blair’s sister while spending more time with Dagger and Noir. The tension between all three characters continues to be one of the strongest parts of the series, and their dynamic had me completely invested from start to finish.
I also really enjoyed the addition of a new character. I was nervous about the direction that storyline might take, but Nova Kane handled it in a way that worked well for the story and didn’t take away from the relationships I’d already become attached to.
This was a quick, addictive read that kept me engaged the entire time. Just when I thought I had things figured out, the story proved me wrong. Nova Kane definitely has a talent for ending her books in a way that leaves readers immediately wanting more.
If you enjoyed Overdose, you’ll absolutely want to continue this duet

🪩 Relapse by Nova Kane 🪩
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ || 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
“Sometimes we love the things that hurt us, and sometimes we are the thing that hurts us. Sometimes no matter how bad it is for us… we go back anyway.”
🤯 After the crazy ending that Overdose had, i didn’t know what to expect with Relapse.. but that ending WAS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED.. I have so many questions!? 😩 But whaaaaaaat! So so so good! I loved this book!
I love how the book - from all POV’s - are literally like being inside of the characters heads, moreso than usual. Like the inner dialogue and thoughts - i loved it.
When Dagger & Noir find their ways back into Blair’s life after the events of Overdose, trying to protect her and keep her safe is NOT as easy as it seems. She races harder than ever, and this time it’s with her new bestie, Mina, by her side. But when the past starts closing in on the trio, will Blair listen to Dagger & Noir’s warnings and follow their lead? Or will trouble be closer than they ever expected?

We’re back after that jaw-dropping cliffhanger in Overdose, and Blair is in fine form as usual 😅. I absolutely adore her character. Her internal monologue and razor-sharp sarcasm had me cackling/spiraling the entire time, even when some seriously intense stuff was going down.
These books are fast-paced, entertaining, and packed with suspense—an absolute adrenaline rush from start to finish. The addition of Mina to the chaotic trio is perfection 👌🏽.
The action, twists, and banter kept me completely hooked, and once again I flew through this book. That ending has me desperate to pick up the next one because I need to know what happens next! 📚🔥
What to expect:
💜 ʜᴀᴛᴇ sᴇx
🌴 ᴘᴏssᴇsɪᴠᴇ, ғɪʟᴛʜʏ ᴍᴍᴄs
💜 ʟᴏᴠᴇ ᴛʀɪᴀɴɢʟᴇ ᴛᴜʀɴᴇᴅ ᴛʜʀᴏᴜᴘʟᴇ
🌴 ʟᴜsᴛ ɪɴ ᴅᴀɴɢᴇʀᴏᴜs ᴘʟᴀᴄᴇs
💜 ғᴜʟʟ sᴇɴᴅ ᴄᴀᴍᴏ
🌴 ʀᴏᴜɢʜ ʜᴀɴᴅʟɪɴɢ
💜 "ʏᴏᴜ'ʀᴇ sᴀғᴇʀ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʙᴏᴛʜ ᴏғ ᴜs."

They call it relapse. The part after the high, when the colors start to fade and the music dies. Blair should’ve walked away. But the past doesn’t let go- and neither do the men who ruined her. This isn’t the comedown. It’s the Relapse.

Relapse by Nova Kane
Well… I have no words but I do, so here they are.
I missed my girl Blair, that’s for starters…..
This book was that feeling you have when you’re getting into a rollercoaster, the adrenaline when you’re waiting in the line and then bum!! You’re there screaming, your head is banging but you can’t stop.
It was that scene from Heated Rivalry, the one in the club, yes, it was that kind of feeling.
This book was a dr^g for sure, one that you know it’s bad but you can’t stop because you know that’s the only time you can feel something.
Overdose was so damn good, but Relapse just teared my heart out and didn’t care I need it inside my chest because it owns me now.
Very raw, full of emotions and my mouth was open the whole time because Mel did amazing with this book. One of my favorite authors for a reason and this book didn’t disappoint.

WOW - what just happened??! 🤯🤯🤯🤯
I thoroughly enjoyed Overdose + was SUPER excited to pick this up, thinking it was going to be a fun, action packed time..
But there was SO much more to their story - - I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started this because I was genuinely confused on what was real + what was fake, triggered by Blair’s drug induced fantasies, by the end of the first book..
The relief I felt having the toxic trio back together - the anxiety I felt by Blair’s stubbornness of not being able to sit still - + the absolutely shock I felt by the plot twist at the end!!
This was ✨AMAZING✨! Nova gets me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. + with that note at the end, I’m hoping we get more of their story because I fear I would follow these characters anywhere: 💜🩵

ABSOLUTELY HOOKED AGAIN!!! I dont know what Nova Kane puts in these books but OMG I am here for it!!
If you thought Overdose was crazy and fun, then Relapse will send you over the top!! It is another crazy, fun party with Blair, Dagger and Noir!!
Blair is back!! Of course she doesn't just come back quietly. She is already known to be back! Like she can just quietly come back anyway with her bad assery and not give a crap attitude.
Then you have Dagger and Noir!! They're not only toxic but also so darn HOT!! 🥵
You put all 3 characters together again and you're in for a WILD ride!
The plot twist at the end through me!! I was not in the least bit expecting it but love that Nova put it in there. Never expect the unexpecting! I loved this book and can't wait for more to come!!

SWEET MOTHER MARY THERE IS CRACK IN THESE BOOKS I SWEARRRR!!!
Wow, if I thought Overdose was crazy- this one rocked me four times harder. I read this in two hours. Absolutely binged this like the psychopath I am. Didn’t even pause to get a dip of water. (Also read while listening to the Spotify playlist and highly, highly recommend doing that for vibes)
My sweet but brutal and insane baby Blair. What a ride our girl has been on. I can honestly say that I did not see this coming for her. I’m still kind of speechless about that ending and am keeping this spoiler free so…. Yeahhhh lol
All I will say is that I absolutely ATE this up. Miss Kane has slayyyyyed this one. I cannot wait to see where we go from here. DAMN!

This book was a great read, getting to see what happens next with Blair, Dagger and Noir. Blair the same crazy toxic fmc we all know from Overdose came back after leaving getting found by the boys who are the same protectors as they were before but this time is it a lot different. In this book we meet Mina a friend of Blair’s and her being an addition was perfect. The banter with all of them made me laugh at times even though things are series but the talking that Blair does to the boys you can’t help but laugh sometimes. Can’t wait to see what happens in book 3 especially with how the book ends.

This book was dark, emotional, and impossible to put down. The tension between Blair, Noir, and Dagger was palpable, making every interaction feel charged with obsession, history, and unresolved feelings.
What hit hardest was watching Blair’s reckless behavior with Mina. It felt like a desperate scream for help, adding so much depth to her struggle and making her journey feel heartbreakingly real.
Raw, intense, and addictive, this story perfectly captures the chaos of relapse and the devastating pull of the past, with a twist that will leave you speechless.

I freaking love this series! I forgot just how much I love Nova’s dark sense of humor. This is a WILD ride and just a fun quick read. Blair is a sarcastic, snarky little baddie and I freaking love her. Also, I’m sorry but WTAF with that ending!?!?

Blair is back in Severance Point and she is pissed. After she confronts Dagger he explains that he & Noir wanted to keep her safe which is why they made her believe they weren’t real. Blair’s not having it and she does what she wants with her new bestie Mina in tow. I enjoyed this book, it was definitely fast and furious. The ending, all I’m going to say is holy shit my jaw is still on the floor. Are we getting a third book? That remains to be seen.

3.75⭐️
As the second book, this one kept me curious from start to finish. The twist caught me off guard, even though I knew something major was coming. While some character decisions didn’t fully work for me, the story kept me invested in what would happen next. I also found myself especially drawn to one character whose role in the story made for some of the most compelling and surprising moments. Overall, an intriguing installment that kept me turning the pages.

Chefs kiss 😘
I absolutely love Blair! She’s is the funniest fmc ever! Her sarcasm and whitty banter is too good!
Shes back and ready for the next high. That is until the two men spot her. Again. She’s still looking for what happened to her sister and this time she’s gonna keep looking for answers.
This book will have you wanting more and more. Until you get to that insane ending! 🤯

Are you ready to relapse?
I have absolutely no words after finishing that. That plot twist was not what I was expecting at all, no one will which makes it amazing and diabolical. The banter between Blair, Noir and Dagger is still absolutely amazing. Blair is still the headstrong, party girl we know and love, and nothing is changing this!

AHHHHH THE ENDING?!?!? Jaw. On. The. Floor.
Ugh I’ve missed this world so much. Especially Dagger, my favorite guy 😮💨 Overdose captured me RIGHT off the bat and I needed Relapse SO bad and it DELIVERED.
My mind is still reeling from that ending. Idk how to think. Omg. All I can say is I was always team Dagger so 🤪 Ugh how do I move on from this?? 😭

This book makes you feel like you've read it… but also like you didn’t 😅😂 If that even makes sense 😶🌫️ Your girl is probably up in the clouds again. Don't mind me talking nonsense 😂
A 5☆ read. Overdose first, then follow the noise to the rave ✨️

Holy sh!t!!!! I absolutely wasn't expecting that ending! Wow!.....
Relapse is Book 2 of the Rave to Ruin debut by Nova Kane. Book 1 had me hooked immediately, I have been feral waiting to get my hands on Relapse. Dagger, Noir & Blair I thought were going to end up together, they would save Blair , ect but , sh!t I was sooo far off! I expected a weird twist but not this.....I'm not gonna spoil it for anyone, so Im just going to say, READ IT!!!! It knocked me on my a$$, Just WOW! And I have to have more, Miss Nova Kane pleassseeee , I need more. Fully addicted to this series.

Plot twist
Fast read, no happy ever after, just more questions, everything we thought we knew in the first book was a lie, so the ending is very confusing and doesn't make sense if you go by the first book

Just when we thought everything was an illusion and we were clean, we relapse. And not just the pills. Dagger and Noir are back and they are not letting go this time.
The withdrawal is definitely not what you will be expecting.
