This is absolutely not for everyone but if you’re into taboo, dark romance, and murder kinks, this will satisfy an itch you didn’t know need scratching. The writing was elevated compared to the first book, but still fan fiction-esque giving ao3 roots vibes. This story is wild from beginning to end and the characters, though horrible disgusting human beings, really pull at your heart strings.

H. D. Carlton has done it again. This book had me in such a choke hold and I just could not put it down. This is hands down the darkest, yet spiciest book I have ever read, emphasis on dark. I highly recommend reading reviews and really taking into consideration the warnings the author provide for this book because it is VERY dark and covers extremely sensitive topics. Don’t just read this book because you saw it on TicTok, it is not for everyone and that’s okay. <Spoilers Ahead>Read this book because you love the cat and mouse and how Addies love grows for Z, yet Z’s unrelenting, obsessed love has been there from the very beginning. Read this book because you have an open mind and are okay reading hard things that make you reflect on this dark world. Read this book because it will make you feel things you haven’t felt in a long time. Weakness, hopefulness, pride, anguish, heart break, lust, love, excitement, toe curling joy, anger, resentment. Read this book for a happy ending that you never thought possible when you first started reading this series. And please read Satan’s Affair! I read it before the reading the first book but to be honest you can read it before the second book as well. I love Sibby and Satan’s Affair offers a deeper look into her life which was interesting to say the least! Overall amazing writing and such a captivating story! There were some parts I wish were different (such as the ending of Claire, Rocco, Xavier, and Francesca, I thought their deaths would be more drawn out and filled with torture) but I love that this book kept you on your toes, fills the story line with an amazing plot, gives you characters you form a trauma bond with, and includes so, so much spice. 🌶️🥰

Whew. Check Trigger Warnings. So...I don't even know what to say. At 50% and about 75% I genuinely didn't know what else could happen. Woe is me. And the characters because we all got clotheslined. I managed to get through the really intense beginning all the way to the end. I'm glad I did and at the same time I'll be content to never re-read these books. Not saying that as a bad thing, just a "I've experienced it and can check it off the list" way. Ultimately, I enjoyed the overall storyline.

Had me in the first half ngl

After the 60% mark it just gets unhinged, story stops existing and it’s just pure sex - which is fine, but bro I was enjoying the story so much 

Spice is spicier than a ghost chilli, story was great until it wasn’t, pretty decent easy to binge book
