The first book was fun. This book felt rushed and the author really needed to do some basic research into recovery from sexual violence and PTSD.

I am not one to get triggered easily but I did have to skip some of pages in part 1 of this book. It is very descriptive so do read the trigger warnings. Overall I thought the book was brilliant one of my favorite series. The romance between Zade and Adeline is to die for.

It took me a while to get through just because of life but once I picked the book up again, I didn’t want to stop. Very dark, sexy, morally confusing a bit. Great book!

This was a difficult read in the sense that some parts were very triggering for me. I had to take a break more than once. I can say that the character and plot development was great and I really enjoyed the relationships between all the characters.
