Please, please check trigger warning. It’s a hard read (hard bc it’s devastating and intense) at certain points, but well worth it!

Again, I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Really sick, descriptive and has you turning the pages like crazy. Couldn’t put it down. Broken down into 2 parts, first part is hard to read sometimes due to the situations in the book, but second part is a little bit lighter. DEFINITELY read the trigger warning page at the front of the book before starting it to see if it’s something you can spend your time reading.

God blessed me with eyes and I have violated them. Someone baptize me in holy water and send me off to the nunnery for enjoying this book as much as I did. This book is my Roman Empire and I ate it up

May contain spoilers. 

***These books contain (big) triggers, I HIGHLY recommend looking into them.***

I am writing this review for the duo 

The good: 
Overall the writing and concept was good for this duo. These are a dark romance/ stalker romance. I enjoyed the first book a little more then the second. I enjoyed the main characters and supporting characters (though I would love a little more interaction with yeh brothers in book 2) including the house it self. 

The Bad:
There are (gory) details that I’m not sure truly add to the story. I feel they are there more for the shock and awe factor then to actually add to the story. The culling was needed yes, but I’m not sure that the end part was of the ceremony was an enhancement for the over all story. We have enough, as readers, to process in the first part of this book I’m not sure that was needed. 

The ugly: 
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy Z most of the time but his literal God persona gets to be kind of annoying. Like there just needed to be more of a vulnerable side to him in this book for Addie. The only time I feel we get that is in the bathroom when he breaks down at the beginning and again with Addie in part two. (Ps: why always in the bathroom?) also there is enough blood in this book to label it a vampire novel. 

I honestly shelved the second book but after a week just decided to get it done and over.
