First, let me start by saying that this is a *dark* romance. If you do not want a bit of blood and tears mixed in with your smut then this will not be the right book for you. You have been warned. 

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.

Idk it was just kinda giving me the ick (the girl would say no I don't want this and the guy who was supposedly super against sexual assault would just kinda force her and be like 'you want this you just don't know it'.) Some people absolutely love this book I am not one of those people. I might pick it back up and finish it later but probably not.

challenging dark mysterious tense

0.5

um no ❤️

bro if you take out the smut from the book what's the plot? Addie is trying to figure out the stuff going on in relation to her deceased family members, and Zade is trying to stop human traffickers. That would be the whole plot. I didn't want to finish this book so honestly i skimmed it but i mean come on... Zade in the beginning is so creepy?? he's a stalker and RAPED Addie (I see this as SA) but he murders pedophiles and human traffickers for a living?? Bruh you're just as bad as them be for real.

0.5 cause honestly i decently liked the great grandmother storyline i wish it was longer and better explained
