I would have liked this a lot more had it taken longer for the main plot to come to conclusion I feel like the last two hundred pages were mostly filler stuff and I didn’t like the plot holes it left unnecessarily

This book took me on a ROLLER COASTER of emotions. The first half of the book was very difficult to get through at times so please be aware of the trigger warnings. With that said, the second half of the book was so beautifully written. I fell in love with Zade more in this book than the first one. H.D. Carlton knows what to give her readers.

I've come to the conclusion that H.D. Carlton is a phenomenal author with a wicked imagination! Her stories are so unique and have such depth, I plan to devour everything she writes! The entire universe feels so well-thought out with no stone left unturned (or plot holes to worry over), and characters you can absolutely obsess over. However, I definitely feel like I can't recommend anything she writes to regular friends/family due to the trigger warnings. If she says she's going to put you through trauma/pain, she means it! 👏🏻 

I might need therapy after reading her books, but I can't get enough! 

Definitely check the trigger warnings as Part 1 in this book deals with very dark subject matter.
