patiencedarf's review against another edition

I didn't think i would ever DNF a book but this is my exception. i read books to have fun and become lost in the words. this just made me feel horrible. i read a brief summary of the book but it doesn't compare to reading it for yourself. i do not recommend and after reading some especially harrowing scenes i needed to cry and hug my boyfriend. as someone who gets extremely invested into series and attaches themselves to the characters' world, i found myself in a dark place where i mistakenly thought i would find an enjoyable book.

5.0

Mörkare men ändå bättre än första boken. Asså hennes tid i huset och speciellt vad Xavier gjorde va helt sjuka grejer. Rekommenderar inte om man är känslig. The culling och vad som hände efter va sjukt men ändå en väldigt ”bra” del i boken. Zade va bra med henne efter och det är sjukt att detta händer i verkligen. Skulle läst den snabbare om skolan inte kom ivägen

I am not one to get triggered easily but I did have to skip some of pages in part 1 of this book. It is very descriptive so do read the trigger warnings. Overall I thought the book was brilliant one of my favorite series. The romance between Zade and Adeline is to die for.
