OMG where do I even begin! From the first chapter I was instantly drawn in to the mystery of this book. I don’t normally go for this type of novel but I’m so glad I decided to give it a try. Zade by far is the creepiest but sexiest character I have read that it was hard to not fall in love with him. This book does get very graphic so that warning in the very beginning is no joke. I don’t like cliff hangers normally but thank you Jesus that the second part is available. There were moments that made me say “WTF” multiple times and had to stop reading to give my mind a break but then there were other times that I just couldn’t stop. I highly recommend!
