Just finished reading and all I can say and feel is wow. This series and this book was such a rollercoaster of emotions. I was crying from the heartache

of Adeline being captured and trafficked, crying whenever Zade found her in the train car, and crying at the end of the book where he proposes to her.

This series was great, I’m so glad I finally came around to reading it and it didn’t disappoint. 

I just want to add that the trigger warning were appreciated because I did have to remind myself to take breaks during the triggering parts, your mental health is important. I did skip through a lot of the first part of the book to avoid the upsetting bits.

Absolutely heartbreaking. I'm not well mentally after this book. I close my eyes and I see it and I want to cry
