This (second) time around I really enjoyed listening to the audiobook and hearing some of the changes that differ from the e-book, the physical copy and the audiobook. Very Interesting.

I am concerned...about myself really. There is so much so wrong with this book. I am horrified by a lot of it. And yet......I found a lot of it really dang hot. I want to throw up saying this. Why am I like this? Who hurt me? I don't have any answers. Zade is the biggest hypocrite to ever hypocrite. I could have been fully on board with him if there was even a shred of consent for the first 75% of the book. But alas, he is a giant walking red flag and I must sit in my shame and wonder what happened to me that I could not DNF this book because he had me in a chokehold. I might deserve to be committed because against my better judgement I will read the next one.

Masterpiece. I fell in love with this series instantly after reading satans affair and I can now say I’m obsessed after reading Haunting. The characters are perfect, the story is so good and twisted and it’s super spicy! I immediately started hunting! I need more!
