I really do not enjoy the writing style here. It’s too immature/informal/belongs on 2014 Wattpad. It often seems like a desperate attempt to be different/edgy and it just doesn’t work for me.
The sex scenes were also not my cup of tea. I hate the MC’s god complex and his dirty talk would make me physically cringe or even sputter in shock.
All of the characters are just . . . Bizarre. NONE of them feel even remotely like real people. The villain’s speech had me rolling my eyes. I don’t think any other book has made me physically react this much.
That IUD bit? Please never speak to me again. And the EPILOGUE?! A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY. Ugh. I cannot believe how high this rating is. I can’t share my kindle highlights in good conscience. Thank you (and I’m sorry) to Danielle for receiving all my horrifying screenshots.

1. I’m actually shocked that a book that has prevalent mental health themes would blatantly call a clearly schizophrenic woman crazy and insane. Outside of that, Zade’s methods to help Addie cope w her trauma are just… not good and ok
2. It’s so corny how many times Zade calls himself a god. The biblical references got too old too fast, and honestly really creepy
3. The scene where Zade tries to force Adeline into staying with him by threatening her with pregnancy when she very obviously does not want kids is one of the more disturbing ways he sexually assaults Addie throughout the series. Him saying that he would be the one to take out her IUD made me want to die
4. This book is so fucking dark that I don’t even understand how H D Carlton came up with it all while staying sane. The content is actually HORRIFIC
5. The continuous justification of Zade’s actions towards Addie in the first book is so disappointing, yet I think that this book did a better job explaining why Adeline felt attracted to him
Overall, this is a 2.75 stars from me
