Dark as in there is triggering themes and scenes in regards to human trafficking and stalking. But overall a great book. Well written and I couldn't get enough of it even when it had me going wtf

Okay so this book scared the shit out of me and i can't get past the disgusting sex scenes and the idea of Zade being so sick in the head HOWEVER the other storyline surrounding Zade's career and everything he does was actually so good and it's probably the reason i'm gonna read the next book.

This (second) time around I really enjoyed listening to the audiobook and hearing some of the changes that differ from the e-book, the physical copy and the audiobook. Very Interesting.

If you have any triggers what-so-ever, you should check them before you read this book.

I am concerned...about myself really. There is so much so wrong with this book. I am horrified by a lot of it. And yet......I found a lot of it really dang hot. I want to throw up saying this. Why am I like this? Who hurt me? I don't have any answers. Zade is the biggest hypocrite to ever hypocrite. I could have been fully on board with him if there was even a shred of consent for the first 75% of the book. But alas, he is a giant walking red flag and I must sit in my shame and wonder what happened to me that I could not DNF this book because he had me in a chokehold. I might deserve to be committed because against my better judgement I will read the next one.
