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.

This was less of a dark romance and more of just a dark story with a romance in the background. I kept reading because although the abuse is graphic, I think the author did an excellent job of exploring trauma and how one reacts to it both during, and after. Trauma can certainly change a person but watching the fmc slowly come to terms with her experience and become stronger, while still having moments of weakness was refreshing. Far too often fmcs are written to instantly get over a trauma and move on as if nothing had ever happened. It was empowering to walk along with the fmc while she came to terms with her experiences and how she wanted to live moving forward.
