It's dark, it's weird, it's intriguing. Did I mention WEIRD? Very... But it's good. You get captured by the story easily and just need to know how it goes. Both Addie and Zade are rather interesting characters... They're twisted and traumatized, disturbed... And somehow they work pretty well together in the end. The warning list goes on and on, be aware. I'm interested where the second book goes... And about Sibbie hopefully coming back on scene

Iam so conflicted about I feel about Zade. 
I've read and own this book time to see what the audio is like. 
Of course it's Teddy Hamilton this man is everywhere. 
Given a house in this economy I would definitely keep it. 
People who read and like dark romance 'something wrong with me'.
Zade is a hypocrite not wanting to traumatise the trafficked girls he saves but will traumatise Adeline by stalking her.
Men will do that kill a mood. 
I hate men who call woman birds we're not fucking pigeons peck there damn eyes out. 
It takes ages for Adeline to even properly see/talk/ meet Zade. I thought it happened much sooner.
They finally interact properly. Both with a knife in there hand.
The infamous gun scene.
Zade is a odd character you like him for his work killing predators, taking down pedo rings but hate him for stalking and assaulting Adeline. 
The belt scene.
The frist kiss initiated by Adeline. 
I don't remember Zade thinking 'fuck me with a pogo stick'. 
The house of mirrors. 
Adeline was in the house of mirrors for 2 hours and Adeline friend didn't call the police I would of.
I know anyone can be trafficked but Adeline is a well known author it would be risky to kidnapped and traffic her would it not?
I don't remember GG stalker/ lover Ronaldo dying of a broken heart.
Zade house is probably like Fort Knox so why not ask Adeline to stay there? she would be well protected.

I enjoyed this book alot and yes it was dark and heavy. It is certainly not for everyone were there parks I did not like hell yes but I feel like you get that with every book. I don’t know if it is the weighting style or the characters but I really enjoyed it and would love to read another book by this author.
