This book doesn’t shy away from exposing the horrible trauma of the skin trade- take the reader discretion note seriously!!! 

It was an amazing and emotionally complicated book— definitely ramped up from book 1 but tastefully. Also I’m in love with Zade- he’s so well written!

 “Mom come get me I’m scared” 

This book is an abomination, the first half was just barely tolerable. The second half was the worst thing I have ever laid my eyes upon. The .5 is for the very very few likable characters that didn’t get nearly enough time. I could literally talk about everything wrong with not only book two of this duet but book one as well for hours cuz wtf…

I read this and Haunting Adeline because i kept hearing how good it was. I was warned this book was DARK especially in the beginning. I read anyway, and now I'm wondering how messed up I am because I wasn't nearly as traumatized as I expected to be 😬 don't get me wrong, it's indeed very dark. I think I need a shrink tho 🙃
