I thought this book was ok i had major anxiety for really the whole book this was the most anxiety I’ve gotten from any book ever i came so close to dnf this i have this thing where i only like for the main characters to have sex together and be together so when she got kidnapped and they actually raped her i got extremely disappointed i was debating wether i wanted to rate this book a three stars or four stars but i settled for four i guess because the ending I definitely enjoyed haunting adeline over this one by a longgggg shot i did find myself enjoying some parts of this book i also did enjoy meeting sibby again ifykyk i also did like the writing of the book the author told allot of details in situations but not to much to the point where your annoyed but yeah overall i rated this book four stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tough read. I thought the first book was dark but man getting through the first half of this one for me was hard. So much of it dragged for me which is probably great for someone who likes suspense. To me it began to feel like a survivor’s guide at some point. I loved that their relationship was more stable or consistent in this book though. I couldn’t leave off on a cliff hanger!

Following up my prior review for book 1; again, this is *NOT* it.

I will say that the plot at least was better in book 2 than 1, with the focus staying mostly on Addie’s situation and an anticipated reunion between Her and Zade. 

Butttt, even keeping in mind the trigger warnings, the depictions felt excessive. I said the same for the first book but it was increased with the sequel. Like the author wanted to write a “dark” and “gritty” novel, and just decided that s*xual as*ualt, unnecessary depictions of violence and m*tilations was the way to go? Hard no from me.

I did finish the set so it gets 2 stars, and there were some redeeming qualities in the actual writing style. However, the number of 5 star reviews and internet ravings is VERY misleading about the quality of the book. 8/10 don’t recommend. 2/10 recommend for sm*t only(even then it’s dark and gritty).

Warning to fellow readers: this shit here? DARK. Darker than the first book in this duo. This honestly made it harder to get through, but once you get to roughly 40% it starts getting easier. Loved ZADE and ADDIE! *chefs kiss*. Such a good read, but definitely can be pretty triggering, so take breaks if you need to!
