ambrosiablue's review against another edition

Got an early start on my 2024 New Year's Resolution to stop reading books I'm not enjoying. I read the first, bought the second because fuck cliffhangers, and now that

she's been saved by Zade and is getting ready to kick her traffickers' asses

I don't really need to know the end

I'm sure the bad guys all die horrible deaths and she gets her sex drive back.

I like smut as much as the next girl, but I feel slightly dirty for reading what's basically Q Anon fanfiction.

This book is so much darker than the first one. It made it hard to get through the first part of the book. I also think the book should have been shortened a little bit. The violence and dark subject matter turned me off a little.

I enjoyed the book overall. This was the first of its kind I read and the spicy scenes were super intense but I already knew that from the first book. The actually story though I think was well written and it has me hooked. One of those I needed to see what was gunna happen next. The reason for 4 stars is because

I was frustrated with how the author ended Claire…her going on about world domination…

I am no author but I feel there was this huge build up then

they blow her men up after they just back away ? Then just kill her like that? I feel like it should have been more of a fight. Maybe Zade losing some men?

still a great book and will recommend to others who like dark smutty books 🫣
