Addie and Zade both got so annoying and over the top towards the end…. I never want to read dialogue like that again. Also the handling of the human trafficking/ abuse arc felt very strange and slightly pornographic for such a heavy subject matter, especially Addies response of escaping sexual abuse and going back to practicing rough and borderline non consensual sex with her nutjob boyfriend. (Epilogue scene- she has a nightmare about her r*pist…and then Zade r*pes her ?! Wtf) 
First book was fun but this just got ridiculous, so OTT it wasn’t even sexy anymore, just distasteful
Some fun action scenes
