This story is most definitely not for everyone. Oddly enough, I liked this one better than the first in the series. The content was graphic, dark (like really dark), and absolutely captivating. I understand what that saying means about watching a train wreck, it was so so tragic and I couldn’t stop. The story picks up and doesn’t stop. There were some scenes I could do without. READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS!!! I am a total fan of Z. I didn’t particularly get him or care for him in the first book, but I get it now. I get it soooo good.

Trigger warnings are really evident in this book. Even though it's dark it's hard to not fall in love with the love story.

Though you will have closure

Just wow! When I finished this duet, I was so sad it was over. And, I was so stunned that I fell in love with a stalker. Definitely buckle up for a WILD freaking ride if you pick up this duet.

okay so. there’s a hell of a lot i could say about this book, and there r deffo mixed reviews on it. i personally loved it, it was dark at times for sure but i read so quickly that honestly i basically skip through it all. if you’re easily effected by books, this might not be the best choice. but, it is an amazing book. some reviews say it was romancing SA, which i think is true (although it wasn’t all of the time), but other than that the book, storyline and author are amazing. but yeah if you get upset easily, or were upset by the first book, you’re most probably going to be by this one. i wasn’t upset to the point where i was crying, but obviously those bits weren’t the most pleasant to read/imagine. however, i think this book is amazing, i hate books that bore me in the first 20 pages, and this book… certainly did not! anyway i’ve blabbered enough and basically it’s a great great great book but can be upsetting

It was really good! Far darker than the first one and definitely not for the faint of heart, but I enjoyed it. Not as much as the first but it was still good and I liked the conclusion. I’m excited to see more of them in sibel’s and Molly’s books, but their story feels complete.
