Man, this book had some extremely heavy moments. The entire first half of the book was weighted with terror and sorrow. But despite the series being smut, the second book is layered with surprising depth.

Addie’s

journey through

abuse, grief and guilt

was just as messy as anyone would expect it to be. It was raw and nonlinear in the way that those experiences would be in real life.

 definitely reads more like a horror story than a romance. the only slightly interesting part was about Adelines grandmother, and even that fell flat. don’t waste your time if you’re looking for a quality story with good writing, but if you’re looking to point and laugh maybe this is right for you.
