4.5

Don’t read this book if you think it’s just like Haunting Adeline. Part I was so sad and terrible for certain characters and really invoked a lot of thought about how awful people can be. The sad part is that what this character went through is actually reality for so many people. I read through because I wanted to see this character make it through this trauma. There were also a lot of… uh “romantic” choices that I definitely would not try for myself, but I just reminded myself that this is a fictional book and I can enjoy reading it even if I don’t agree with the choices that are made. But this book was highly addicting! DEFINITELY read through all of the content/trigger warnings before reading.

3.75

The first 45% of this book is not a dark romance, it's just dark. Addie finds herself in an absolutely terrifying situation that is very hard to read about. The only reason I was able to keep pushing through was because I knew eventually the author was going to get her and Zaid back together. The second half of the book brings back the spice that I came to expect after reading the first book. However, the depiction of the Romance takes an especially dark turn in this novel. Obviously, Addy and Zaid have never had a normal relationship, but the depictions of violence against each other in this book were perhaps a bit too dramatic. I am not a fan of reading about knife play, so most of the spicy scenes were not for me. Overall, I really enjoyed the ending and I'm glad that Addie and Zaid got there "happily" ever after.

This book was a lot better than the first one! I can tell HD Carlton put a lot of effort into this story and the dialogue/thoughts of each character. I felt like the first one was a little cringe, but this one was a lot better in terms of cringe levels. Still a little bit, which is why I gave it a 4.75 instead of a 5. For example, “it’s so quiet, you could hear a mouse fart.” Is not something you’re expecting to see in a dark romance novel? Just my opinion, but she could have left that out. Overall very good and I will be continuing to read more of her books!
PLEASE make sure to check trigger warnings before reading. You SHOULD NOT read if you have literally any triggers.
