4.5

Don’t read this book if you think it’s just like Haunting Adeline. Part I was so sad and terrible for certain characters and really invoked a lot of thought about how awful people can be. The sad part is that what this character went through is actually reality for so many people. I read through because I wanted to see this character make it through this trauma. There were also a lot of… uh “romantic” choices that I definitely would not try for myself, but I just reminded myself that this is a fictional book and I can enjoy reading it even if I don’t agree with the choices that are made. But this book was highly addicting! DEFINITELY read through all of the content/trigger warnings before reading.

This book was actually WAY darker than the original! The writing massively improved in my opinion in the second book and it's more plot heavy than the original. It's a super tense book, I found myself holding my breath during some moments.
