It's been a few months since I actually read the book, but I do remember thinking to myself when I first read it that I was going to give it 4.75 stars. The problem now is that I don't remember what exactly was wrong with it. I believe it had to do with Sybil. I quite enjoyed her in the first book, but this one showed me that I can only handle her in small doses.
Other than that, however, I really can't think of anything else I didn't enjoy about this book. I liked it slightly less than the first one, but the difference was miniscule. I was completely on edge throughout the first half of the book. The things Adeline went through were so horrific that I had to set the book down a few times to calm myself.I absolutely loved seeing her get her revenge though. I'm not really a fan of smut (ironic, I know), but one scene that actually made me scream and giggle was when Zade made Adeline orgasm in front of her rapist right before she killed him. Iconic.
I probably shouldn't have waited so long to review this because this isn't as detailed as I usually like to be (I'm not even leaving content warnings like I usually do because I can't remember them all), but I do know that I was just left with the most intense sadness when I finished reading because I wanted more of Zade and Adeline. I am planning to read the duology again though because it's been on my mind for the past few weeks.

Ugh, I’m exhausted! In my opinion this story was better than the first. The first sets the stage and hunting takes this love story to the next level!! I loved it! HD Carlton has my 6⭐️ vote so far this year!
