Listen, there is a lot to unpack in this book, it's a ride, and not an easy one. It's a dark curvy back road, with a lot of traumatic, emotional moments.  This I not light spice...

You think the first book is good, just wait until you read this one. This story is SOOOOO much more than just spice. The spice from the first book is what gets you attached to the characters so your heart can be ripped out in the second one. The way I stayed up reading this book until 2 in the morning isn't something I've done in ages. It has me absolutely hooked and I couldn't put it down.

When Zade finds Addie in that train car... I literally started SOBBING from the build up and release of emotions this whole book up until then caused.

Human trafficking is such a hard topic to cover and it think HD did a fantastic job. I wish I had a million more books with Zade and Addie. So sad there won't be more to read with them, but I have the rest of HDs books to sink my teeth into and I can't wait.

2.0

Let me start off by saying that this book is extremely dark and you should take the trigger warning list seriously. If you don't want to read fucked up shit, this book is not for you.

That said, the first part of the book was good. It was well written and grusome and overall interesting to read (only because it's fiction).

But the second half?
Not so much.

Don't get me wrong, there were good arcs there too. I loved the Bonny and Clide vibes. The portraying of PTSD was well written (at least, I thought so) and the Culling 2.0 was poetic (and gruesome).

But the rest? No thank you.
Somehow, Zade's god complex became the main storyline. It was too repetitive.

The way they handle Adelines PTSD? Not healthy. At all. But maybe that was the point. Idk.

One last thing: I have no idea how they manage to have poetic inner monologues and speak complete sentences during their apparently mindblowing sex? Couldn't be me.
