This book... is way overrated.
I'd like to say that BookTok was right, but I should've known never to trust it. I was really excited to read this after seeing everyone else seem to enjoy it, but Zade Meadows is a hypocritical dick.
This book is riddled with non-consensual scenes where the MMC tells the FMC that she wants him to screw her and that she wants him, after literally stalking her. He LITERALLY forces her into believing that she loves him, and when she tries to defy him at any time, he screws her again, no matter how often she says know.
This is also coming from a man who literally runs an anti-pedo & sex-trafficking organisation. But apparently, if it's a woman he wants and she's giving him a boner, invading her privacy is totally fine as long as he gets to screw her because he wants to and nothing else matters.
Oh- and this man has the CRINGIEST daddy kink I have seen in my entire life, as well as an obsession with wanting to get her pregnant. *shudder* Oh, and must I mention his massive cock that apparently makes everything super difficult and all "IDK if it'll fit UwU~"
Also- what the hell is the deal with the randomly mentally ill psychopathic child all of a sudden?! Like WHAT?!
Parts of the plot were intriguing, but not enough to justify glorified rape and Stockholm syndrome.
The description was boring, and after a while, especially during the smut, phrases because repeated. Frequently. I don't care how wet Adeline is. I already know. She's been that way for the past 500 pages. Shut up.
The last thing I'll mention is that Adeline just feels like a poor attempt at a strong, female main character. And Zade? He may have an occasionally steamy line, but "I'm going to make you mine" isn't as hot from a rapist as it is from and actual lover now, is it?

It was bad and I see what was trying to be achieved but it just wasn't achieved.
DNF, was like 50% through. I just can't be bothered to finish. Its just too much for me.

This book was exactly how everyone said it would be, yes non consensual (but the main character confuses the fuck out of me cus of course she is a rich author who doesn’t have to work) so it’s a weird fucked up read. The murder mystery part was nice, I would say clues for the murderer were there. And this type of cliffhanger ending, I hate.
