Hands down the most difficult book I have ever had to get through. The triggers are not a joke, and the detail was extremely disturbing, if not fully nauseating. It was raw. I was already attached to the characters since the first book, which is honestly what kept me reading until the end. One side of me was disgusted throughout the entire book, and another side of me was devastated, yet eager for Adeline to get to a better place, if that was ever even possible. It was humbling. Overall, I enjoyed it? But boy was it hard to read.

Despite how extremely dark this book is, it holds a place in my heart. The resilience Addie has and the portrayal of PTSD brought up emotions from my own past I wasn’t quite aware I was ready to face head on yet. A very healing read for me, which is probably not what I or anyone else would expect. Either way, I loved this book, and it’s getting a reread at some point so I can annotate the heck out of it.
I also would’ve rated 5 stars but I felt the conclusion was rushed.

dark tense fast-paced

This book is horrific, I had actual nightmares about it. The main character has been human trafficked as a sex slave and it is painful to read.
