Not even the plot twist was done well, I had to push myself through this and felt like my brain was melting the entire time. 

Do not recommend. 

The .25 stars are only there because I liked that Zade didn’t have to have a reasoning for doing something good or becoming what he wanted to, but I’m still questioning my choice on giving those out. 

Also I can’t get behind the non-con.

The first part was one hell of a rollercoaster, most dark romance books don’t bother me or affect me in any way but this took a toll so read the trigger warnings carefully and prepare yourselves. The 2nd part tho…

Really enjoyed the ride. For all the gasping and hype about how shocking and controversial numerous scenes are supposed to be... I was left feeling a little deflated? People are really out here whining about this book, just go read YA then.

Honestly, this book was a disappointment. The hype of this book on booktok is clearly overrated. Will not be bothering with Hunting Adeline.
