This was a difficult read in the sense that some parts were very triggering for me. I had to take a break more than once. I can say that the character and plot development was great and I really enjoyed the relationships between all the characters.

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.
