THIS IS NOT FOR CHILDREN

This book is extremely graphic. If you are easily bothered by any of the triggers attached to this book, do not read.  You’ve been warned.

There are three different stories going on in this book and it’s left with a big cliffhanger. This is told by two different POV. The female character Adaline and the male character Zade. 

This starts with Adaline, an author who moves into her grandmothers house after her death as she left the house to her. She comes across some information regarding her great grandmother who was murdered when her grandmother was just a teenager and this was her great grandparents home.

The POV with Zade is one part his job as a hacker genius who runs a huge underground company that identifies scumbags that traffic women and children. He finds them and tries to save as many as he can and “takes care of” the disgusting people who trap them.

Then both POV of Adaline and Zade regarding his obsession with her and how she deals with it.  This “relationship” is graphic and disturbing for anyone who does not enjoy dark romance.
