The book is dark, so dark that I don’t think the trigger warnings prepare you for what’s to come. 
Part I was really hard to get through but it made the vengeance in part II all the more satisfying. Teddy as Zade was literal perfection! I have never seen a character come alive like that. Michelle Sparks knocked it out of the park with her performance throughout the book. 
Also, can we talk about some of the deranged characters in this book? I mean, there is unhinged and absolutely MENTAL and then there is Sibby! To Sibby and her henchmen - this book wouldn’t have been every bit as good without you!
Overall, loved the conclusion to their story. Highly recommend if you’re into dark DARK romance (please read the trigger warnings)

I really liked this series and books. The smut part of it is wild and definitely took me by surprise more than once. The sexual scenes are a little hard to follow sometimes and hard to visualize in your head what they’re even doing because it gets so complicated and confusing. I love the characters, the storyline in this book was intense and thrilling and I was dedicated to her getting saved and getting revenge.

2⭐️4🌶️(different type of spice than book 1, not in a positive way)
I read an article a few years ago about the show the handmaid’s tale being torture porn. I felt similarly about this book, specifically part 1. I almost DNFed 20% in bc of this and I have never DNFed anything before. Honestly, I’m not sure even sure how these books got published, the torture part of the book is that graphic. I think it probably could’ve been on wattpad and I would’ve been less shocked reading it on there. If you’re looking for a romance, this is not the series for you. Almost every single spicy scene in book 2

uses blood/knife play, which was a little heavy for me. I was disappointed there was almost no sweet reunion between the main characters.

This book deals HEAVILY on the trauma Addie faces during and after

she has been abducted into a sex trafficking ring.

I liked zade’s character development in this book, and we see him as much more than a stalker who has no choice but to give into his darkest desires. Multiple times he says he’ll burn down the world if it means he can save Addie. I don’t like it’s just thrown out there how jay’s character is bi, I wish we could’ve seen him get together with Michael or something! I probably could’ve skipped the whole series, but definitely could’ve skipped this book and just have read the cliff notes or given them a HEA in my headcanon at the end of book 1. I won’t be rereading due to intense dark themes and graphic details. There’s dark romance, and then there’s this series. Please don’t let your teenagers read this🫶
