BOOK REVIEW : I am so heartbroken over how this book turned out. The first book of this series was a dark romance. This book, the second, was just dark. Listen, I understand that women being sexually assaulted in books can be necessary for story lines, but this book did none of that. There are VERY descriptive rape scenes from the main character, and they just seemed so unnecessary. The first book was all about this girl falling in love with her stalker who works to takedown sex trafficking, while trying to solve her great grandmother’s murder. Totally amazing story with great spice and an even better plot. The second book lacked a lot of this and if I were to ever reread, I would skip part 1 entirely and begin where Zade reunited with Addie. 

“She holds on to me like she’s falling, but I have no interest in catching her. I will always fall with her, chasing after her even in death.”

Overall, I think the author is very talented; she's a great writer and I truly adored the first book, but this one just wasn’t it.
