Let me just start with a trigger warning: if you can’t go for NCN, dubious consent, or talk about child trafficking and terrible terrible situations involving children. Do NOT pick this one up. It’s deranged, it’s twisted, it’s pitch black, not morally grey.
With that being said, from start to finish this had me completely enraptured. Did I question my morals, kinks, and sanity? Absolutely. Do I want a boyfriend like Zade Meadows in real life? Hell no. But did I get a big thrill out of reading this roller coaster of a novel? YES. I’m absolutely going to continue. I loved the vigilante robin hood type role Zade plays. Adeline & Daya’s friendship was another highlight for me. That fun house of mirrors scene????? HOLY HANNAH MONTANA. For pure entertainment and vibes, this bad rider is getting 5 stars from me.

All of that being said, I think the author did an exceptional job of creating a morally gray character. Zade is not someone you want to like, but in the end you do start rooting for him because his cause is so just. Addie is the perfect heroin for this type of romance novel. She enjoys being scared and I think is a little bit twisted. Honestly, the novel wouldn't work if she wasn't just a little bit insane. The banter between the two leads is top tier and the spice is definitely high.
I think that this book is a great way for people to explore a darker side of romance without actually putting themselves in danger. I think it's okay to enjoy reading about things that we wouldn't be okay with in real life. I am eagerly anticipating the second book in the duology.
