Beware of the triggers. Both books are extremely dark, but this one is worse. 

This is the second book to this duet story (see Haunting Adeline) and it was rough. I cried a few times during this story. It’s extremely graphic and twisted.  

Picture how people will gather or rubber neck to look at a car accident to see the damage (curiosity killed the cat) but for this book, the accident would involve multiple totaled cars that are on fire and the people who were in the cars are trapped and cannot escape.  

Although this book was severely disturbing, I did enjoy the story.  The love story between the two MC is dark and twisted but passionate.  It’s a world riddled with danger and despair, and a monster like Zade to hunt down anyone who harmed his little mouse.

The nightmares, memories, and depression from Adeline's time kidnapped were worse to me than reading how she survived it.

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.
