Pay attention to the trigger warnings. Your mental health matters. This is a dark book with a lot of trigger warnings and some hypocrisy. As a horror book and horror movie fan, I enjoyed this book and liked the spice.

I really really loved it. At first it was kind of hard to get into when all the bad things happens but after that I couldn’t put it down

People may call me crazy for saying that I liked this book, but genuinely I did. Though the book is  traumatic and had EXTREMELY triggering events I couldn’t put it down. Some of the parts were really hard to read but I needed to find out if Addie was okay and if Zade would find her. I think that what makes this book so good is the constant tension of “what is going to happen next.” Constantly wondering what will happen. You grow very closely to Addie in the beginning of the book and really see her growth. She becomes a survivor. She is a survivor. She’s constantly fighting. And you want to fight for her too. Though the traumatic events she endures have negatively changed her life she learns how to push through life because she is a fighter. Also you get to see the a side of her develop that is very similar to Zade, as well as watch their relationship grow too.

My favorite book!!! The only thing that could possibly make this better is if there was a bit more on Zade and Adeline after everything. I need more!!! I really hope we see more of them in Sibbys books or maybe get another book!! New favorite author and new favorite book!

Some things are better left unwritten. This book is one of those things.
