You think the first book is good, just wait until you read this one. This story is SOOOOO much more than just spice. The spice from the first book is what gets you attached to the characters so your heart can be ripped out in the second one. The way I stayed up reading this book until 2 in the morning isn't something I've done in ages. It has me absolutely hooked and I couldn't put it down.

When Zade finds Addie in that train car... I literally started SOBBING from the build up and release of emotions this whole book up until then caused.

Human trafficking is such a hard topic to cover and it think HD did a fantastic job. I wish I had a million more books with Zade and Addie. So sad there won't be more to read with them, but I have the rest of HDs books to sink my teeth into and I can't wait.

ambrosiablue's review against another edition

Got an early start on my 2024 New Year's Resolution to stop reading books I'm not enjoying. I read the first, bought the second because fuck cliffhangers, and now that

she's been saved by Zade and is getting ready to kick her traffickers' asses

I don't really need to know the end

I'm sure the bad guys all die horrible deaths and she gets her sex drive back.

I like smut as much as the next girl, but I feel slightly dirty for reading what's basically Q Anon fanfiction.

This book is so much darker than the first one. It made it hard to get through the first part of the book. I also think the book should have been shortened a little bit. The violence and dark subject matter turned me off a little.
