The writing was great, pace and plot was cohesive and engaging. Smut and story dark but not overwhelming. TW recommended for sure.

i enjoyed this book much more than “satan’s affair” and it was crazy to see how at one point the stories intertwined with each other. honestly i’m so glad i ended up enjoying this book because i saw a lot of people either loving this or hating on it lol.

the characters were really fleshed out, especially Daya, Adeline and Zade. the bad guys… not so much, they all sounded the same to me tbh.

i loooved the relationship between Daya and Adeline, honestly best friend goals.

when it came to Adeline, for the most part she was great, but sometimes she did come across a bit annoying with her stubbornness and naivety.

and well, of course, Zade was daddy lol. i wouldn’t enjoy the idea of myself being stalked but if it was Zade, i think i’d just run and purposefully collapse only for him to catch me lol. there was just something about him, man. the possessiveness i think.

anyway, moving on, the writing style was great, but at times it did feel a bit repetitive. more specifically Zade’s thoughts to himself. he just kept thinking the same thing over and over throughout the book and i wanted to scream at him I GET IT, the situation is horrendous but come on, just finish them lol.

i also don’t normally like a man’s pov in dark romance books but Zade really made it work for me. 🫠

now, about the plot, i didn’t really care for Gigi’s mystery, but i did thoroughly enjoy Zade’s work (idk if it’s a spoiler so i won’t say what it is). it was really interesting seeing that particular side of him.

and the spice itself was spicyingggg lmaoo, i fanned myself quite often whilst reading this! i’ve come to realise that possessive/stalker men in dark romance books are my thing for sure. can’t wait to hop on to the 2nd book!

This book ends in a cliff hanger and forces you to read book 2. Book 2 is VERY difficult to read and involves a lot of on page SA/Rape/Abuse. I would not have wanted to read this book if I knew what I was getting into with book 2
