Please, please check trigger warning. It’s a hard read (hard bc it’s devastating and intense) at certain points, but well worth it!

Ok I have many thoughts about this book so let me just begin. (Semi spoilers ahead) 

1. I’m actually shocked that a book that has prevalent mental health themes would blatantly call a clearly schizophrenic woman crazy and insane. Outside of that, Zade’s methods to help Addie cope w her trauma are just… not good and ok

2. It’s so corny how many times Zade calls himself a god. The biblical references got too old too fast, and honestly really creepy 

3. The scene where Zade tries to force Adeline into staying with him by threatening her with pregnancy when she very obviously does not want kids is one of the more disturbing ways he sexually assaults Addie throughout the series. Him saying that he would be the one to take out her IUD made me want to die 

4. This book is so fucking dark that I don’t even understand how H D Carlton came up with it all while staying sane. The content is actually HORRIFIC

5. The continuous justification of Zade’s actions towards Addie in the first book is so disappointing, yet I think that this book did a better job explaining why Adeline felt attracted to him 

Overall, this is a 2.75 stars from me

Stay away from this book. It is toxic. I justify my reason for finishing it because I NEEDED closure from this toxic trauma-ridden nightmare of a book. Heed these trigger warnings better than I did. Don’t do it.

Again, I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Really sick, descriptive and has you turning the pages like crazy. Couldn’t put it down. Broken down into 2 parts, first part is hard to read sometimes due to the situations in the book, but second part is a little bit lighter. DEFINITELY read the trigger warning page at the front of the book before starting it to see if it’s something you can spend your time reading.
