Just like the first book of this series, I was hooked. The story line kept me engaged all the way through, though this one was significantly darker. There are definitely much harder topics and details that could be very hard and triggering to get through for some. With that said, I loved the fight Addie had in her to make it through and the determination Zade had to save her. I love a good morally gray character and Zade is 100% that! It's kind of insane how he can do so much good for the world while also doing some of the things he does to Addie. I can't wait to read the next novella and the prequel to the series to find out more about other characters. Highly recommend, but not for everyone and readers need to proceed with caution.

The amount of times this book had me questioning myself (and scheduling a therapist) is astronomical.

This was an easy read but it was choppy and DARK. I knew going in it was going to be dark so I think that helped.
