This book crossed lines that I am not comfortable with. However, I devoured and constantly found myself wanting to be reading it. I was gonna not read the second one because I can’t support a relationship built

on rape. But that cliffhanger ugh

.

I am confused. I hate all the characters. The murder mystery was a fun thing in the background. I don’t know. I gave myself a full nights sleep before writing this review and still don’t know how I feel.

Okay so this book scared the shit out of me and i can't get past the disgusting sex scenes and the idea of Zade being so sick in the head HOWEVER the other storyline surrounding Zade's career and everything he does was actually so good and it's probably the reason i'm gonna read the next book.

This (second) time around I really enjoyed listening to the audiobook and hearing some of the changes that differ from the e-book, the physical copy and the audiobook. Very Interesting.

I am concerned...about myself really. There is so much so wrong with this book. I am horrified by a lot of it. And yet......I found a lot of it really dang hot. I want to throw up saying this. Why am I like this? Who hurt me? I don't have any answers. Zade is the biggest hypocrite to ever hypocrite. I could have been fully on board with him if there was even a shred of consent for the first 75% of the book. But alas, he is a giant walking red flag and I must sit in my shame and wonder what happened to me that I could not DNF this book because he had me in a chokehold. I might deserve to be committed because against my better judgement I will read the next one.

The plot is so ridiculous and unbelievable. A stalker that’s also a hacker and an untouchable maniacal assassin?! And the girl he stalks can’t help but fall in love with him?! Yet I found myself laughing out loud and blushing often, making sure to check my surroundings while I read it. This book gives just enough to keep you hooked and explores some dark fantasies behind a backdrop of sinisterly evil things… PLUS a murder mystery? Too many content warnings to count. Yep, I’ll be reading the sequel.
