It was definitely a traumatic read. Part 1 had me on the edge of my seat. My emotions were all over the place. There were parts that were a little much for me (read the trigger warnings) between Zade and Addie but I still loved the book.

Man, this book had some extremely heavy moments. The entire first half of the book was weighted with terror and sorrow. But despite the series being smut, the second book is layered with surprising depth.

Addie’s

journey through

abuse, grief and guilt

was just as messy as anyone would expect it to be. It was raw and nonlinear in the way that those experiences would be in real life.
