Amazing dark romance. Just enough romance to be enjoyable without being overly sappy and all consuming. The book has things going on outside the romance factor that really add to the plot and draw you in. Great read. It is dark and I would take the warning seriously!

It’s ok, the spice is good but that’s really it, plus the scenes are hard to imagine, like the way they are described.

Read the trigger warnings...
The plot and character building gets 4 stars. There's so many different twists and turns in this book. Some things were predictable. I was caught off guard on others. Zade only gets 3.5 stars because his character feels like two different people and he says a lot of corny things.

Well, well, well. This book has many toxic, triggering, and terrible characters, however - looking at how it was written, I couldn’t have asked for better. Is the MMC very problematic? Absolutely. But God, how HD writes it was so difficult to not get sucked into the story and want the two MCs to end up together. Now, to ruin myself with Hunting Adeline!
