this book made me want to gauge my eyes out, cut mu brain into a million pieces, and made me wish i never learned to read so i wouldn't have bad to read this book.
aside from the fact that this book is full of romanticized rape, manipulation, abuse, stalking and much much more, it's also just terribly written
none of the characters really had any personality (or one that was developed), the "plot" wasn't really a plot it was just a sad attempt at making a story that could've been something but was wasted by the rape scenes every other chapter
normally i'd feel bad saying that a book had absolutely no redeeming qualities but this book was so awful that all i can say is that i hope no one else has to ever read this book

very conflicted with my rating for this book. did i stay up until 3am to finish it? yes. did the mystery element have me turning the pages like crazy? yes. for that reason it should be a 3-4star rating BUT I cannot stand the countless times God was painted in a false light and Satan was glorified. Also Zade hates rapists and pedophiles but he rapes her but it’s okay because she ended up liking it? and he called her little girl while doing it? no. the spice was the majority of the book and had my jaw on the floor but despite me flying through this book i can’t rate it more than one star for those reasons. also the ending had my stomach twisting with the elevated form of child sacrifice and pedophilia and the dark part of the dark romance became a little too much for me. did i have a unique and fast reading experience? yes. could i ever in my right mind recommend this book to anyone? no. even though it was thrilling and the spice scenes were… on another level… at the end of the book i felt like i never should have picked it up in the first place. yet i’m curious to read the second but i don’t think i will anytime soon. or maybe ever. everyone in this book needs major therapy
