I really liked this series and books. The smut part of it is wild and definitely took me by surprise more than once. The sexual scenes are a little hard to follow sometimes and hard to visualize in your head what they’re even doing because it gets so complicated and confusing. I love the characters, the storyline in this book was intense and thrilling and I was dedicated to her getting saved and getting revenge.

This is the second book to the cat and ouse duet and it leaves off with Addie being sex trafficed and Zade is using his resources to hunt down and kill whoever was involved. Throughout the story it tells Addie’s POV while being in the whorehouse before she auctioned off to her buyer. The book is a lot more detailed and vivid on what she goes through and very heartbreaking. I love Zade’s character because he’s determined to do whatever it takes to protect Addie and get her back. He’s willing to burn down the world for her and he’ll do just that to find her…

****SPOILER**** My favorite part of the book is when Zade finds Addie in the train after she starts to murder people and Enzo helps her escape. Also when Zade finds Sibby and brings her into the mix.

2⭐️4🌶️(different type of spice than book 1, not in a positive way)
I read an article a few years ago about the show the handmaid’s tale being torture porn. I felt similarly about this book, specifically part 1. I almost DNFed 20% in bc of this and I have never DNFed anything before. Honestly, I’m not sure even sure how these books got published, the torture part of the book is that graphic. I think it probably could’ve been on wattpad and I would’ve been less shocked reading it on there. If you’re looking for a romance, this is not the series for you. Almost every single spicy scene in book 2

uses blood/knife play, which was a little heavy for me. I was disappointed there was almost no sweet reunion between the main characters.

This book deals HEAVILY on the trauma Addie faces during and after

she has been abducted into a sex trafficking ring.

I liked zade’s character development in this book, and we see him as much more than a stalker who has no choice but to give into his darkest desires. Multiple times he says he’ll burn down the world if it means he can save Addie. I don’t like it’s just thrown out there how jay’s character is bi, I wish we could’ve seen him get together with Michael or something! I probably could’ve skipped the whole series, but definitely could’ve skipped this book and just have read the cliff notes or given them a HEA in my headcanon at the end of book 1. I won’t be rereading due to intense dark themes and graphic details. There’s dark romance, and then there’s this series. Please don’t let your teenagers read this🫶

Part one of this was an emotional roller coaster in the best way. It hurt my soul. Part two was okay, but I hated the dialogue during spicy scenes 😭
