i probably would have enjoyed this a lot more if i read it before the duet but i already knew the plot twist the whole time so it felt quite repetitive and slow paced despite the length. it was written well though and gave a lot more insight into sibby's past. this is definitely pretty gory and i think it warrants checking the TWs before reading this but it's not necessary to read to enjoy the cat and mouse duet imo. this worked for me because sibby was a girl and the "cleansings" were usually done on men (and not on any woman on page unless i'm mistaken) but if that was switched i would probably find this a lot more uncomfortable.

I didn't know of this one till after I read Haunting Adeline but I think it works well after too. Check TW. Great background read to flesh out this world further while giving insight to the FMC of this book that is a secondary character in the main books.

Sibby and get henchmen were amazing. The twist at the end was just awesome. I had already known somewhat what it was even before reading the book, but I was still shocked reading about it and kind of disappointed because with how hot the scenes were between Sibel and her men I really didn't want the twist to be real.

I also loved the meeting between Zade and Sibby. I can't wait to start the connecting duet to this book and read more about Zade and to see more of Sibby even just for a little bit. Reading this book only makes me more excited to read haunting and hunting Adeline than I already was.

I honestly wasn't sure if I'd like this book or not but it was absolutely amazing. Yeah it was quite graphic and can be very difficult to read some parts of it but I absolutely loved it.

Definitely a 5 star read for sure and I'd highly recommend it to those who are able to stomach and withstand the graphic content. Definitely recommend checking the trigger/content warnings.
