I feel like I need to reiterate what I said in my review of Haunting Adeline. This book is so insanely dark and shocking that I would not recommend it to someone without knowing how fucked up they are and whether or not they would like to be more. That being said, I really enjoyed this book. It broke my heart, hurt my brain, and left me feeling hallow in the way that I wanted when I decided to read it. I personally think the reunion taking so long made it really great. I definitely cried. I enjoyed reading how Adeline worked through her trauma (even if that in itself caused me trauma). 
It is hard to rate Zade as a book boyfriend. He is not a good person - which he openly admits - but he is also so kind to Adeline, but then you go back to thinking about how he forced himself into her life by stalking her for months and then breaking into her home. ITS COMPLICATED!! I saw that the author is going to write Sibby a book and I am very excited (and absolutely terrified) to read that and learn about her even more. Sibby was great comedic relief - and also caused so much concern - that I think her book will be insanely darker and also so heartwarming. WHAT A MIX OF EMOTIONS! 
I guess you can judge me for giving this book 5 stars, but I am not opposed to reading it again and I bought them because I had to have them. It did something to me and I will answer for those to God and only God. 
Thank you, lol.

This book is frustrating because it's entertaining... But also really screwed up. Like... Really screwed up. I don't recommend it.
