I dunno what to say, though I did have to throw my book several times across the room and question if I should drop or keep reading.
So this does follow two different points of view The Manipulator and The Shadow, throughout the story I significantly found "The Shadow" chapters of the story more interesting and alluring, which is fine but I do think that both of them should have found balance and that Adeline's writer personality or manipulator side should have been expanded slightly because her grandmother's storyline that we were following felt anti-climatic. If she were to showcase her skills at manipulating, telling elaborate lies, or even being a knowledge wit would make her SUCH a better character. Then again maybe that's the point, I am not sure, but Adeline felt soulless and so did Z a little bit. Z also says some of the most absurd things in the human language, so badly that his dialect made me wanna twist myself into a pretzel and throw up.
If you are really down bad, I think it's worth a read.
If you are not, I think it will be a hit or miss

So good!
This was a bit darker then I normally go for. I knew what I was getting into though so I was almost prepared for it. Amazing writing though. I am so glad I decided to go ahead and read this book! I am dying!!!!!!! to ready the next one! The cliffhanger is unreal!

This book….definitely can only recommend it for a select group of people.
I mean, I’d REALLY have to understand their reading (and *OTHER*) preferences before I’d recommend it.

Don't read it , the trigger warning is real. I'm not fan sexualizing SA. Stalking and murder . Glorify human trafficking (children ). The only good part about the story was. Adeline great grand mother her story was great .
