Very intense read but Adeline’s character really pulled me in. I love how sassy and brave she is. Zade grows on you. Probably the best morally grey men I’ve read so far.

Bro is a walking contradiction. I had so many problems with this book but I can’t decide if they’re justified considering I read the TWs at the beginning and chose to continue on anyways. I honestly don’t even know why I finished this book because at times I was so triggered that I had an anxiety attack.
