Oh man. This book is messed up. Definitely check your triggers because the subject matter in this book could be very hard to read for many people. That being said, holy wow what a whirl wind. This book was quite sad, terrifying, and disgusting. The depictions of human depravity are hard to read. It is also absolutely riveting, and gives you something to root for. Though this is a dark read, there is still a sense of hope throughout the novel that keeps the reader engaged. Darius and Grey have now cemented themselves in my heart forever. I cannot wait to find out what happens next! There is so much that happens here that the romance takes a back seat, but it’s still there. 

The audio was well done! The only times I struggled were when there were flash backs in the story, and it made it very hard to keep up with what was real and what was not. I wish that was handled a bit differently to make it more clear, but perhaps the confusion was intentional.
