I'm really grateful to the author for writing about this themes, even though it is hard to read sometimes. We all know that is a lot of bad things happening in the world, yet we pretend that it's not there to be able to sleep in peace and without fear. H.D. Carlton did a great work at combining unpleasant experiences and situations with psychologically messed up relationship. She got me as obsessed with the plot and the characters as Zade is obsessed with Addie...

“Meadows, baby. Our last name is Meadows.”
This book was amazing and that's something I did not expect to say when the topic involves this book but it is and I can't even deny it. I started reading it hesitantly because I knew that the first part is Addie's story after she was kidnapped. When the author's note mentioned that this book is darker than the first one, I thought, okay, I can handle it. I was so wrong. This book is dark DARK dark. I need to have the best stomach going in this book because I needed it. So many wrong shits has been happening. Adeline's POV showed us the perspective of people who were being trafficked into sex slavery. That first scene where she was taken against her will, I was just cringing and praying it will never happen to me. I don't think I'd live after what she's gone through. Then there's Zade's POV where you see him struggle with losing his mouse. He was willing to do everything just to get her back. He knew what was currently happening to her and he can't do anything. It took half the book just for them to get back together but damn, that first half of the book is pretty traumatizing. I can't believe such people exist. I'm in a very comfortable bubble that do not know what's happening on the other side of the world.
Thank you, H.D. Carlton, for showing us a preview of it. I'm sure a lot worse is happening somewhere.

I also would’ve rated 5 stars but I felt the conclusion was rushed.
