I think it is safe to say that I need to feel this book in my bloodstream.

I do not know why it took me so long to finally read it. But what I know is that it will take me a while to get over it, if ever.

I love the fact that the author has so masterfully incorporated the infuriating reality of the ritualistic sacrifices of children - (do your research if you can stomach it)- within Zade and Adeline's dark and almost sick romance. The paranormal element of the haunting of Parsons Manor, as well as the cold case of Adeline's great-grandmother's murder makes the story even more chilling to go through, with enough suspense to keep you on your toes until the very end.

Highly recommended, as long as you check the trigger warnings.

The cliffhanger was unforgivable.

(Also, Zade is daddy. Fight me.)

This was traumatising to say the least. I was aware the sequel would be heavier, but goodness, I had to stop reading multiple times because I felt I needed to take a break.

Up until around 70% of the book there was good action and good plot progress. After that I feel like it dragged a little too long at points (eg: a couple of smut scenes were unnecessary imo).

Needless to say that it's not only heavier but sicker as well. I didn't mind it that much though.

I didn't hate it but I didn't live it either. I think I would be fine just having read only the first installment, without this one.

Honorable mention to Sibby who I love and made me laugh

It was great for smut but I really wish it had been Claire instead of the mom who sent the envelope to Addie. Claire tugged at my heartstrings and I felt so much more connected to her character than that of the mom.

Wow! So starting this book I was made aware of many things and that it wasn’t for the feint of heart. I was still shocked and in a very good way! I loved the interactions between Addie and Zade, as well as Addie and Daya.

The story while dark and twisted is a love story and I can’t wait to see the conclusion. Many questions asked, some answered yet even more questions popped up. This book is a roller coaster of emotions and will absolutely have you questioning your morals.
