Song: You Put a Spell on Me -Austin Giorgio
Oh my fucking god.
What the fuck did I read?
And why did I enjoy it?
Okay, so I think we all know that this is a dark and twisted book with many, many, many trigger warnings. Did we get that? Cool
Now, I gave it 5 stars because I enjoyed it emersly. Do you know the phase of catastrophe tourism? When you slow down so you can see what happened in a car crash, or watch a movie that you know is gonna be awful but that is why it's so fun. That's this book to me.
The writing wasn't the best, and it was kinda sloppy in some places, and the story had some faults too, but it was too interesting and shocking for those things to affect my rating.
I am not writing spoilers, but I will you the smut..the smut is heavenly. Be aware there is non-con, but it's wrapped up in a way where it is forced, but by the end (or more like the middle) we actually enjoy it. It's like BDSM just without the safe word, which is kind of offputting, but the inner monologue helps a lot.
And I swear, the scene that I had my jaw on the floor, that I was the most shocked about... was the fucking <spoilers> gun scene. Maybe I haven't read enough dark romances but when I realised that he will fuck her with his gun... </spoilers> my jaw was on the floor.
I am really interested in the next instalment.
I am also scared, what kind of person I am for loving this book this much?
Well..we will e after I traumatise myself with the second book.
xoxo

I absolutely love Zade and Adeline. They are phenomenal together. I love the little cat and mouse game they play together. And I love how Adeline loves being scared and how Zade plays into that fear.
Now don't get me wrong there's some absolutely disgusting things in this book that made me absolutely angry. And it's very graphic about it too. But it makes me love Zade more because he's out there fighting against the bad guys doing these absolutely horrid things to women and children. And he's not doing it to avenge a horrible past or anything as he's always had a good childhood and parents, he's doing it out of the goodness of his heart even if many would find his tactics and methods wrong. His way actually gets things done.
And the side story with the mystery of Adeline's great grandmothers(Genevieve/Gigi) murder. Absolutely phenomenal as well. I guessed the killer pretty early on even though it's not in your face out there. The guy just gave me bad vibes from the moment he was introduced even though he's only seen in diary entries. Although the reasons behind him killing Gigi was what shocked me. I never guessed the motive behind the murder so I still found some surprise in the reveal of the murderer and who helped cover up the murder shocked me as well.
It's safe to say this was definitely a very hot and often scary read. And I loved seeing the meeting of Sibel (Sibby) and Zade from Zade's pov this time as well.

Do check for Trigger warnings at the start of the book which is very briefly mentioned by the author.
