Another absolutely gutting edition from the Hades Hangmen series. I wasn’t sure how compelling of a character Flame would be, but his personality bloomed with the help of sweet, innocent Maddie. Both of them had been through incredibly horrendous trauma (that is written in graphic detail, fyi) but through their relationship they emerged from their experiences so much stronger. 

I’ll say this one was as dark (if not darker) than the previous two, but the romance just hit a bit harder. In a way, Flame and Maddie seemed to be written as fated mates, bound for one another.

really like this one! i love the relationship that was built between maddie and flame and i also really enjoyed watching them overcome their traumas and fears in an attempt to be better for each other 😭 i know it’s a dark romance and it approaches sensitive topics just like the other books, but even with that knowledge i still had to take a break from the book halfway through it because i thought it was really heavy, so just be sure to check the trigger warnings and make sure you know what you’re walking into!
