***These books contain (big) triggers, I HIGHLY recommend looking into them.***
I am writing this review for the duo
The good:
Overall the writing and concept was good for this duo. These are a dark romance/ stalker romance. I enjoyed the first book a little more then the second. I enjoyed the main characters and supporting characters (though I would love a little more interaction with yeh brothers in book 2) including the house it self.
The Bad:
There are (gory) details that I’m not sure truly add to the story. I feel they are there more for the shock and awe factor then to actually add to the story. The culling was needed yes, but I’m not sure that the end part was of the ceremony was an enhancement for the over all story. We have enough, as readers, to process in the first part of this book I’m not sure that was needed.
The ugly:
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy Z most of the time but his literal God persona gets to be kind of annoying. Like there just needed to be more of a vulnerable side to him in this book for Addie. The only time I feel we get that is in the bathroom when he breaks down at the beginning and again with Addie in part two. (Ps: why always in the bathroom?) also there is enough blood in this book to label it a vampire novel.
I honestly shelved the second book but after a week just decided to get it done and over.

It is hard to rate Zade as a book boyfriend. He is not a good person - which he openly admits - but he is also so kind to Adeline, but then you go back to thinking about how he forced himself into her life by stalking her for months and then breaking into her home. ITS COMPLICATED!! I saw that the author is going to write Sibby a book and I am very excited (and absolutely terrified) to read that and learn about her even more. Sibby was great comedic relief - and also caused so much concern - that I think her book will be insanely darker and also so heartwarming. WHAT A MIX OF EMOTIONS!
I guess you can judge me for giving this book 5 stars, but I am not opposed to reading it again and I bought them because I had to have them. It did something to me and I will answer for those to God and only God.
Thank you, lol.
