Other than the literal rape that goes on all throughout the book the character story is so bad. It dosent make sense! why would zade vow to protect women but rapes one? like hello?! The language used to describe is so boring and the events aren’t entertaining. The rape scenes, literally could have been good if it was approached in the proper way with the proper care and aftercare with consent. The main character developed mixed feelings because she liked it since it felt good (as sex does)that what happened was alright. Which is so wrong! I’ve also heard people defending this book saying “that’s kink shaming” CNC is a kink which stands for consensual non-consent, which requires consent hence the name. In my opinion, there is no justifying it and this is not dark romance. It’s just full of rape.
People may read and think this kind of stuff is “hot” and acceptable which is really dangerous. I’ve heard so many underage readers reading this book because it is “spicy” and because of the hype on social media.
I literally cannot explain with words how bad this book is. Please save your money!

I also found the gun scene incredibly cringey / unrealistic because how could that even feel good? And so many of Zade’s lines made me roll my eyes.
The talk of him being “too big to fit” almost made me roll my eyes out of my head..
The other thing that put me over the edge were the constant talks of “you’re going to have my babies” nonsense. *Gag.* Really not my thing, at all.
I won’t mention the rape, stalking, and refusal to accept “no” as an answer since it’s all listed in the trigger warnings, but it just wasn’t for me. I didn’t find it attractive and I certainly didn’t find Zade attractive. I definitely wouldn’t have been playing along with his nonsense and I refuse to believe that anything he was doing could’ve been *that* satisfying to achieve the response from Adeline that he did.
I’m also confused how he could be so big of a contradiction. He fights to save women and girls from men doing horrible things to them, but yet he stalks and rapes a woman he “loves?”
I don’t mind the dark romance, but I don’t think I care for the woman being so submissive and I honestly didn’t like any of the characters except maybe Daya? Cringey and unrealistic. I enjoyed Satan’s Affair much more than this.

I liked the c-plot the most. I was deeply invested in knowing who killed Adeline's great-grandmother. The ghost-vibes was a nice touch.
I also liked Parson Manor. It was described perfectly!
I think Adeline was an okay FMC. I really don't see the hate for her. Zade was also okay, although unhinged lol.
Will be diving right into Hunting Adeline🫣
