This book was dark and at times difficult to read. That being said I kept going as the story kept me engaged. This is NOT a romance novel!!!!!!

adventurous dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

5.0

I absolutely LOVED this book. It's was the perfect balance of suspense, darkness, and spice. Zade is absolutely crazy but was also kinda redeemable in a way. He truly cared about the women and children he was saving and took everything to heart. He felt personally responsible for them, which made him somewhat redeemable in my eyes. Zade fell so hard for Addie and was undeniably devoted to her. I loved how he waited for her to fall for him, even when he did it in a quite unconventional way (stalking and dubcon/noncon). I loved Ruby and how she would boss big, scary Zade around and he allowed it because she was caring for the survivors. I was gasping (from the suspense, what else?! 😆), blushing, and swooning all through this book. It is definitely going on my "to buy" list.
