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.
