But oh my god did it deliver.
H D Carlton knows how to right a seriously addictive book. I devoured the first one, but this one I wanted to savour, because I knew that when I finished this book, I would reach the conclusion of Zade and Addie, and I had no idea where it was going to go.
I don’t have many words for this book, everything I said about the characters, and the story telling, in my review of the first book ring true of this book as well.
The last thing I would say about this series, definitely DEFINITELY, take the warnings and content descriptions seriously. This book could be very triggering for some, more so than the first book, so really bear that in mind, but it is SO worth the read if you can.

What I cannot understand is that Zade works to eliminate rapists and pedophiles from this world, but he himself is a stalker, rapist, and murderer. We are give no logical reason as to why he became this way. He came from a good home and when he learned about human trafficking he wanted to "do something about it". I feel like this was lazy writing and we needed more of a motive and backstory as to why he does what he does and why he is the way he is.
I feel like the whole storyline surrounding her great-grandmother was pointless and could have been cut out completely. It didn't add anything to the story.
I think the writer was really focused on writing for "shock value" and not enough on creating a strong story.
