It was mostly cringey even for a dark fantasy. It feels like someone watched too much bad stalker porn and transcribed it into a novel.

I’m not sure if any of this is a spoiler but better safe then sorry. 

I liked when Zade was killing the terrible men but I hated him assaulting Adeline. It’s just is gross. I can get over the stalker part eventually but the assault I can’t get over. You can have sex like that but with consent. Horny is not an invitation. Sexual assault is not sexy. 

Being a hypocrite isn’t hot either. How can you fight against trafficking then proceed to assault your “love” and call her “little girl” in the process. I’m not one to kink shame, but you’d think after seeing pedophiles have little girls locked up for their pleasure, that’d be a major turn off, right?


 Adeline is low key insufferable. And so was Zade when he wasn’t killing people. 

The creepy vibes were great though. I also liked the setting.

WTF did I just try and read??? A stalker rapes a woman over and over … and I guess in the end she will like it? I’m not going to finish. I thought it would be a dark romance or twisted love plot. But it’s badly written.
