AGAIN, CHECK THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.

It was great to see Sibby. She's such a great character; reading about her is always hilarious.

As for the book, though, it felt like H.D. Carlton just wanted to have spice on every other page, and it became excessive at one point. The writing was also extremely jarring, one second, they're fighting bad guys in the woods, and the next, they're doing something spicy while the bad guys watch. So strange.

Also, who the fuck even is Addie's dad? The man came out of nowhere, wanted to stir up some shit, be an asshole, and then just... disappeared. We never talked about him again?
The letter from Rio at the end made me so happy... Maybe I should go find Rio fanfic about how he's been spending his life in Arizona.


This book was long. So so so so long. When I think back about the events of this book, my mind instantly feels like the first half was an entirely different book. 
Idk, I just didn't think the books were that good.

This thing was really pushing the limits of what I want to consume as entertainment, I found myself cringing from some of the graphic sexual violence and some of the excruciatingly detailed murder scenes. It’s not for the faint of heart. There’s also a lot of choking and knife/blood play in the sex scenes, so if you don’t want to read that don’t read this book.

Even more trigger warnings in this one, please be careful. Very explicit and even I struggled to get through some scenes.

This is absolutely not for everyone but if you’re into taboo, dark romance, and murder kinks, this will satisfy an itch you didn’t know need scratching. The writing was elevated compared to the first book, but still fan fiction-esque giving ao3 roots vibes. This story is wild from beginning to end and the characters, though horrible disgusting human beings, really pull at your heart strings.
