It’s ok, the spice is good but that’s really it, plus the scenes are hard to imagine, like the way they are described.

Read the trigger warnings...
The plot and character building gets 4 stars. There's so many different twists and turns in this book. Some things were predictable. I was caught off guard on others. Zade only gets 3.5 stars because his character feels like two different people and he says a lot of corny things.

Love, love, loved this one! Absolutely adore Addy, we’re alike in many ways and I think we’d be besties irl. I thought this book gave you a great amount of everything you got to know the characters well, had some great humor put into it (at least it had me giggling at times), had plot, and some great smut. All in all I found it to be a great dark romance but as always please read the triggers and know what you’re getting into before hand.

Does contain non/dub con between the main characters, as well as a cult surrounding men doing very graphic things to children including; sacrifice and trafficking.

Well, well, well. This book has many toxic, triggering, and terrible characters, however - looking at how it was written, I couldn’t have asked for better. Is the MMC very problematic? Absolutely. But God, how HD writes it was so difficult to not get sucked into the story and want the two MCs to end up together. Now, to ruin myself with Hunting Adeline!
