This book killed me from the inside. I can’t even deny it. The exploration of trafficking and non-consensual relationships and rape and child abuse destroyed my soul. The book wasn’t scared to describe things that are common occurrence these days.


To say I sobbed at parts is an understatement. I couldn’t give this book a five star because even though it was an incredible book, the realism and outcomes of some of the instances will be beyond belief. As happy as I am with the outcome, it still wasn’t believable.

I will continue to read books by this offer because they are incredibly written and I absolutely love Sibby. Her character and the way she is written into the story not being a main character is incredible and leads into Satan‘s affair.

If there’s one thing I’m absolutely feral for, it’s a redemption arc. 

This was even more heavy and dark than the first, especially within the first 50%. I was thoroughly immersed and on the edge of my seat watching the finale unfold. I’m glad I took a chance on seeing what this duet is all about for myself. Do I think this duet is a must read for everyone? Absolutely not. Check the trigger warnings and be wary, because this is a pitch black disturbing realm that will have you questioning many morals. 

Horror suspense erotica, that’s about how I can sum this duet up. Zade and Addie are reminiscent of The Joker & Harley Quinn in this second installment especially. Psychotic, deranged, sick, and twisted. The cat and mouse duet will be sticking with me for a long time. 

4.5 ⭐️ // 4.5 🌶️

The first book was fun. This book felt rushed and the author really needed to do some basic research into recovery from sexual violence and PTSD.

I absolutely loved this book. It made me laugh, cry, hate and love. The second one is definitely way more darker then the first one which makes it more realistic. Nothing is just black or white, there's a variety of grey resembled in MMC, Zade, and other characters. 
I'm really grateful to the author for writing about this themes, even though it is hard to read sometimes. We all know that is a lot of bad things happening in the world, yet we pretend that it's not there to be able to sleep in peace and without fear. H.D. Carlton did a great work at combining unpleasant experiences and situations with psychologically messed up relationship. She got me as obsessed with the plot and the characters as Zade is obsessed with Addie...

patiencedarf's review against another edition

I didn't think i would ever DNF a book but this is my exception. i read books to have fun and become lost in the words. this just made me feel horrible. i read a brief summary of the book but it doesn't compare to reading it for yourself. i do not recommend and after reading some especially harrowing scenes i needed to cry and hug my boyfriend. as someone who gets extremely invested into series and attaches themselves to the characters' world, i found myself in a dark place where i mistakenly thought i would find an enjoyable book.

Mörkare men ändå bättre än första boken. Asså hennes tid i huset och speciellt vad Xavier gjorde va helt sjuka grejer. Rekommenderar inte om man är känslig. The culling och vad som hände efter va sjukt men ändå en väldigt ”bra” del i boken. Zade va bra med henne efter och det är sjukt att detta händer i verkligen. Skulle läst den snabbare om skolan inte kom ivägen
