I love the banter in this book but sometimes zade pisses me off with his god complex. Also feel like it was rushed to finish in the end chapters.

If you have ANY triggers you need to read the TW, because I am BAFFLED reading some of the reviews of this book. Some don't understand that TW have to be read if you have any. This book was said to be DARK from the beginning, and somehow people don't get it and dnf and give a bad review. DON'T PICK UP A PITCH BLACK DARK ROMANCE WITH HEAVY TRIGGER WARNINGS IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE IT. It's okay to dnf a book. It's also okay to dnf a book and give it a bad review. But to give a bad review because it was "too dark" is wild. Just dnf and move on with your life.

And the kink shaming in many of the reviews is disgusting. People like different thing. There is nothing wrong about what Adeline liked.

Anyways.

If you're going to write about the Illuminati Lite you should probably team up with Dan Brown. This book was a liiiittle too far out there for me, and I'm not taking about the first part of the book. I am talking about "The Society". 
The Mindf*ck-series does revenge-scenes much better than Hunting Adeline, but it was still satisfying-ish. 

Is this a must read? No. I am glad I read them? Sure. But it's a book-series that is extremely over-hyped.

Dark but not in an enjoyable way. I wanted to DNF so badly but I also needed resolution so I forced myself to finish.
