I enjoyed the first half of the book since it continues from the previous book. It was a little heavy but kept the story interesting. The second half felt…anticlimactic. It was good but fell a little flat. And the spice was too rough for me compared to the first book. But Zade was still daddy vibes!

My favorite book!!! The only thing that could possibly make this better is if there was a bit more on Zade and Adeline after everything. I need more!!! I really hope we see more of them in Sibbys books or maybe get another book!! New favorite author and new favorite book!

Some things are better left unwritten. This book is one of those things.

4.0

Not as good as the first one, mainly because the plot twists all happen at the start of the book, leftover from the cliffhanger at the end of Haunting Adeline.

It's still well written though and there are some interesting plots introducing Adeline into Zade's world more but because so much happens at the start, the end felt almost anticlimactic. 

I actually did get a little triggered by some of the content in this one because of my own PTSD but I did find the portrayal of it interesting in the book. I handle mine very differently to the main character so I can't be sure how accurately it portrays it, there were certainly familiar elements but a lot of differences.

It also introduced some additional stuff in the spicy scenes that I'm just not into. It doesn't phase me to read it and I certainly don't kink shame but it made those scenes less enjoyable for me personally.
