read trigger warnings at the start of this book !!

the author was not lying when she said this book is significantly darker than the first. honestly, i had to skip chapters 10-22 (hence my rating of the book) because of that fact. i also had to save myself and look up spoilers for my own sanity. my personal opinion, it gets so much better after chapter 23.

Just wow! When I finished this duet, I was so sad it was over. And, I was so stunned that I fell in love with a stalker. Definitely buckle up for a WILD freaking ride if you pick up this duet.

okay so. there’s a hell of a lot i could say about this book, and there r deffo mixed reviews on it. i personally loved it, it was dark at times for sure but i read so quickly that honestly i basically skip through it all. if you’re easily effected by books, this might not be the best choice. but, it is an amazing book. some reviews say it was romancing SA, which i think is true (although it wasn’t all of the time), but other than that the book, storyline and author are amazing. but yeah if you get upset easily, or were upset by the first book, you’re most probably going to be by this one. i wasn’t upset to the point where i was crying, but obviously those bits weren’t the most pleasant to read/imagine. however, i think this book is amazing, i hate books that bore me in the first 20 pages, and this book… certainly did not! anyway i’ve blabbered enough and basically it’s a great great great book but can be upsetting

I listened to this as an audiobook and Teddy Hamilton’s voice as Zade is absolutely unmatched. Dark, sexy and sinister. This book is very dark, but also emotionally captivating. You want to like the morally grey characters, and even end up rooting for them. But it makes you reflect on the topics at hand. That being said, some scenes were hard to wrap my head around, but the spice was spicy!!

It was really good! Far darker than the first one and definitely not for the faint of heart, but I enjoyed it. Not as much as the first but it was still good and I liked the conclusion. I’m excited to see more of them in sibel’s and Molly’s books, but their story feels complete.
