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.

I’m going to be honest and say I didn’t like this book as much as the first in the duet. I found there was a lot of unnecessary remarks and the author mentioned farting honestly about 10 times but it always felt totally out of place. This is also obviously much darker so there is that to consider if you struggled with the first one. Personally I coped okay but I could see that being an issue. Additionally, I kind of felt the last third of the book dragged a bit. I wasn’t super keen to pick it up even though I was waiting for answers I just kind of wasn’t desperate to find them. It wasn’t terrible and parts of it I still loved such as the tension between Addie and Zade and honestly just Zade in general. He shows some other sides to himself in this one and it was nice to see him become more rounded.
