The writing and character development were extremely well done, and the book felt well paced and the level of detail was tangible. From a writing and quality point of view, this book is excellent. Although I can’t say I enjoyed it. The first half was extremely graphic and it was unsettling at best.

CHECK TWS: Extremely dark compared to book 1, heavy focus on trafficking, not for everyone.
I adore the cat & mouse duet. It scratches something in my brain. H D Carlton is a master of bringing darkness to life but simultaneously makes me feel like someone is holding my hand… 🐈⬛
I was super wary going into this since I’d heard it was completely different to book 1 & involved some of my own triggers. But I found it weirdly healing? I like that she didn’t shy away from horrific themes, really testing how long one can remain hopeful. 🩸
I wouldn’t necessarily class this book as a romance, the focus on healing is FAR more prevalent. Highlighting how healing looks different on everyone but how important it is to share that pain was beautifully captured. 🥀
I’m not eloquent enough with words to explain why these books mean so much to me…sooooo

As always H. D. Carlton’s writing is extremely enjoyable. The transformation that Adeline has in this book is heartbreaking and commendable for what she goes through.
Zade as always is dark and cruel but shows you how much he loves Adeline in this book.
Sibby was hilarious and was happy to see more of her this round.
Eventually I will get around to reading the rest of the books that align with their story.
