Wow! So starting this book I was made aware of many things and that it wasn’t for the feint of heart. I was still shocked and in a very good way! I loved the interactions between Addie and Zade, as well as Addie and Daya.

The story while dark and twisted is a love story and I can’t wait to see the conclusion. Many questions asked, some answered yet even more questions popped up. This book is a roller coaster of emotions and will absolutely have you questioning your morals.

This is a book that's extreme hyped on social media, and I guess I expect more? It was kinda slow, but also kinda relaxing? 
I liked the c-plot the most. I was deeply invested in knowing who killed Adeline's great-grandmother. The ghost-vibes was a nice touch.

I also liked Parson Manor. It was described perfectly! 
I think Adeline was an okay FMC. I really don't see the hate for her. Zade was also okay, although unhinged lol.

Will be diving right into Hunting Adeline🫣
