Okay yeah. It’s a really fucking dark romance. 

If you’ve had any experience with any of the trigger warnings I would be mindful when or if you choose to read it. The first half of the book if fucking brutal and it’s confronting to think. This friggin happens to people.  All in all I still enjoyed it for the literary fiction it is. 

And even if the recovery in part 2 is a bit more fast paced than reality would be. I really appreciate the writing of Zade during that period and his awareness of what he does. The second half is just amazingly written. 


Even caused me to have a minor identity crisis. With a single quote.

Part one of this was an emotional roller coaster in the best way. It hurt my soul. Part two was okay, but I hated the dialogue during spicy scenes 😭

Much darker than Haunting Adeline. Not for the lighthearted.

Listen, there is a lot to unpack in this book, it's a ride, and not an easy one. It's a dark curvy back road, with a lot of traumatic, emotional moments.  This I not light spice...

You think the first book is good, just wait until you read this one. This story is SOOOOO much more than just spice. The spice from the first book is what gets you attached to the characters so your heart can be ripped out in the second one. The way I stayed up reading this book until 2 in the morning isn't something I've done in ages. It has me absolutely hooked and I couldn't put it down.

When Zade finds Addie in that train car... I literally started SOBBING from the build up and release of emotions this whole book up until then caused.

Human trafficking is such a hard topic to cover and it think HD did a fantastic job. I wish I had a million more books with Zade and Addie. So sad there won't be more to read with them, but I have the rest of HDs books to sink my teeth into and I can't wait.
