Tough read. I thought the first book was dark but man getting through the first half of this one for me was hard. So much of it dragged for me which is probably great for someone who likes suspense. To me it began to feel like a survivor’s guide at some point. I loved that their relationship was more stable or consistent in this book though. I couldn’t leave off on a cliff hanger!

Following up my prior review for book 1; again, this is *NOT* it.

I will say that the plot at least was better in book 2 than 1, with the focus staying mostly on Addie’s situation and an anticipated reunion between Her and Zade. 

Butttt, even keeping in mind the trigger warnings, the depictions felt excessive. I said the same for the first book but it was increased with the sequel. Like the author wanted to write a “dark” and “gritty” novel, and just decided that s*xual as*ualt, unnecessary depictions of violence and m*tilations was the way to go? Hard no from me.

I did finish the set so it gets 2 stars, and there were some redeeming qualities in the actual writing style. However, the number of 5 star reviews and internet ravings is VERY misleading about the quality of the book. 8/10 don’t recommend. 2/10 recommend for sm*t only(even then it’s dark and gritty).

Warning to fellow readers: this shit here? DARK. Darker than the first book in this duo. This honestly made it harder to get through, but once you get to roughly 40% it starts getting easier. Loved ZADE and ADDIE! *chefs kiss*. Such a good read, but definitely can be pretty triggering, so take breaks if you need to!

Whew. Check Trigger Warnings. So...I don't even know what to say. At 50% and about 75% I genuinely didn't know what else could happen. Woe is me. And the characters because we all got clotheslined. I managed to get through the really intense beginning all the way to the end. I'm glad I did and at the same time I'll be content to never re-read these books. Not saying that as a bad thing, just a "I've experienced it and can check it off the list" way. Ultimately, I enjoyed the overall storyline.

i don’t even know what to say… this was dark, twisted and incredibly kinky. zade and addie's whole journey was just something so harrowing and yet so beautiful to watch
