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🫶

Holy shit. This book is my Roman Empire. Part I was my favourite, even though most prefer part II

the culling! I loved that shit. Poor Phoebe. I felt that death

Sibby was iconic (as always)
Changed rating to five stars just because of how disturbing this was
