Again, on kobo it was very disappointing to have an AI voice. This is such a disservice to the narrators that did work on the book. It’s also a disservice to author because of mispronunciation and disjointed words. 

This book is definitely darker. You read the trigger warnings, right? Right?! Well, it hits even harder. So get ready. This is more than just dark romance. It will push you over the edge. 

There isn’t anything Zade won’t do to find his little mouse. While others work to shatter the diamond to pieces, she remembers all the things Zade has taught her. In the end, they will regret her turning her pain into a rage. 

As the description says, blood will paint the ground all through out this book. Addie endures so much, it broke me. Parts were so difficult to read, and Zade really felt like just an absolute ahole in some places. Not love or desire, just an ahole. 

This book is full of suspense, twist and turns, pain, the darkest parts of humanity (if you can even call it humanity), and enough blood spilled to save several lives. You’ll wonder why you’re still reading it. Especially if the ptsd/cptsd hits. You will probably still finish it, and be glad you did. Now, I need to go touch grass and feel some sunshine on my face. Whew. What a freakin journey!!

This book doesn’t shy away from exposing the horrible trauma of the skin trade- take the reader discretion note seriously!!! 

It was an amazing and emotionally complicated book— definitely ramped up from book 1 but tastefully. Also I’m in love with Zade- he’s so well written!

 “Mom come get me I’m scared” 

This book is an abomination, the first half was just barely tolerable. The second half was the worst thing I have ever laid my eyes upon. The .5 is for the very very few likable characters that didn’t get nearly enough time. I could literally talk about everything wrong with not only book two of this duet but book one as well for hours cuz wtf…
