The plot of this book is thorough, complex, and intriguing. There were several side plots that built on one another. The book is heavy and filled with traumatic topics so it's important to read the trigger warnings and take your time. If you do read this book, you're likely going to find yourself questioning your morals when it comes to how Zade and Addie's relationship starts and all of the torture and murder. I can confidently say I was surprised when I was okay with most of it all. I truly was rooting for Zade and Addie despite how fucked up it is. I'm excited and interested to read book two and see where the story lands and how I feel about it as a whole. This first book impressed me with how well H.D. Carlton had us falling for a morally black character.
