I honestly didn’t think this book would live up to the hype of the first one, which I instantly fell in love with, and for the first maybe 1/3 of this book, I was fearing that it wouldn’t. 
But oh my god did it deliver. 

H D Carlton knows how to right a seriously addictive book. I devoured the first one, but this one I wanted to savour, because I knew that when I finished this book, I would reach the conclusion of Zade and Addie, and I had no idea where it was going to go. 

I don’t have many words for this book, everything I said about the characters, and the story telling, in my review of the first book ring true of this book as well. 

The end of this book made me cry which I definitely was not expecting, but I’m so happy with Z and Addies end, it was perfect.


The last thing I would say about this series, definitely DEFINITELY, take the warnings and content descriptions seriously. This book could be very triggering for some, more so than the first book, so really bear that in mind, but it is SO worth the read if you can.
