This one took me a few hours before I could decide what I wanted to rate it. I’m all fucked up 🫠 Silly Ambers review after the first book: “this isn’t even dark.” Nothing can prepare you for book 2. I understood and enjoyed Zade and Addies relationship in the first book. The first half of the second book is awful (not the writing - the on page fuckery,) but I could see the story for what it was. The third quarter is what makes me debate this rating. My PTSD couldn’t enjoy the smut until the last quarter. The third quarter was more triggering than the first half, in my opinion. I flinched more than she did at Zades words. Again, I understood the dynamic in book 1, but you can’t just dive back into it after all of that! All in all, the book made me feel, and chapter 37 bumped this up to a 5 star for me 🔥
