Reminded me of the movie taken. This book shocked me,I did not expect it! I never wanted a series to be a movie more than the cat and mouse duo.
It not only was a dark romance but It brought to light the horrors of sex trafficking. Kept me hooked!

As a sequel to Haunting Adeline, yes there’s more rape. If we could have just dialed back a bit on that, I wouldn’t have minded. In all, I liked reading the suspense. I did have to skip over a little to get past the other stuff. But I can confidently say I do liked rio. Poor guy

3.5 for part 1 and 4.5 for part 2
The depth that Carlton went to for part 1 is immaculate in the sense of creating the scene and being a dedicated author. However I had to give a day break at one point because of how intense the r*pe and torture scene got at some point.
Now part 2-LOVE. Every time Zade made Addie become mentally and physically stronger I got so excited. All the praise kinks, power/control changes, and their bond adjusting to the ‘new version of Addie’ was so addicting.

some of the things Zade does in the last 150-100 pages really bugged me. Making Adeline think that he took out her IUD in her sleep just gave me ick. I know he didn’t actually do it and admitted that right after but it left a sour taste in my mouth. Either way, most of the book was a good read. Zade is still brutal but that’s nothing new. Definitely pay attention to trigger warnings and read them beforehand because the book is heavy. Overall I just don't really think the good things that happened outweighed the bad things that ended up sticking with me and leaving a bad taste in my mouth.
