Editors. Just. Get some, editors. There were so many terribly written sentences, horrible similes and metaphors, and cringe-worthy moments of dialogue that I had to highlight all of them just to make myself feel as though I wasn’t as crazy as fucking Sibby. Since I powered through book one, I felt duty-bound to read this one and finish the duology but god it was a Herculean effort. The plot of the story is still intriguing, although Adeline’s captivity goes on for a bit longer than I feel is truly necessary. I do love the characters, especially Jay and Sibby. Also, there are a few very sexy one-liners during the sex scenes but even those were made less intriguing and spice-filled because of the multitude of errors throughout.

Holy heavens. Oh my Zade Meadows. This book is so dark, and heartbreaking, but also perfect at the same time. Definitely a slow burn (if you could call it that).. the reunion does not happen on page two.. just a warning. But so worth the pain. The ending *chefs kiss*

There is some serious Knife play, which I think definitely needs a warning.

It took me a while to get through just because of life but once I picked the book up again, I didn’t want to stop. Very dark, sexy, morally confusing a bit. Great book!
