And Julianna? the Pitiful Martyr, fuck this shit she was wallowing on too much self pity and she became a goddamn doormat
And don't make me start on the unfounded story and terrible story building, I simply id not care about a single side character, what ? a killer who? an enemy who? Stupid....more

I Fucking LOVED this book *melt*
Lyla and the shadowman (AKA Darinn Blackthorn) 's relationship dynamic where GOD tier, against all odd they made it work, she worked on her self and he was there every step of the way in his own twisted way. This tugged at every numb heartstring I had, it even twisted my stomach on the gruesome event that happened in the beginning.
Even the writing was fabulous I did not complain even once, I devoured the whole book in a night and a day's work. couldn't put it down...more

I am a reader who hypes up a STEAMY book, but this one was just overly bad.
What happened with the pace and potential of the first one? How did it step soo low to my expectation? which, mind you, weren't that high!!
60% of this book was just Crass, disgusting sex scenes, weird unwarranted blood play, glorifying toxic traits of possessiveness/jealousy and then they immediately proceeds exhibitionism, like "ooohh there's my significant other, have your fill and look/fantasizes about them in every way.."
Blaaah fuck this shit, this trope has been overly used lately, if feels like the trend of the year that authors uses to classify their books as dark twisted steamy fantasy romance.
It's not romantic. Please stop.
And to make matters worse there's ZERO progress whatsoever in the storyline, just pointless drama trumped up of awfully made up scenarios by the FMC. We get that you're emotionally traumatized. But apparently you seemed to have accepted your fate come the 14% mark why are you dragging the hell out of this inevitable relationship. Just move on to MORE IMPORTANT MATTERS.
*sigh* I'm disappointed by these unsuccessful reads this years.

He marries her by force, then dump her in a dungeon hole for days on end without food or water. And once she gets out the first this she does is have "passionate sex" -emphasize on my sarcastic quotation mark- and forget about her near death experience...?
I know she gives him grief for his action - cause lets not forget that he chained her and treated her like a dog in the first book- but what boggles me is that he never apologized for his actions
YET Hannah ends up falling in love with him for doing the bare minimum.
Yeah nah, not for me.
Plus let's not forget the whole weird family tree that this book has going on, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters... it's part of the mythic aspect of the story but I can't -for the life of me - give a shit. I'm just over this.
I think my journey with this book end here folks. i's not fare for me to continue on with the series with my low opinions of it.....more

You'd think with their parents relationship being semi prefect that the kids might be less damaged, or maybe not prone to abuse as their parents were subjected to. BUT NOOO everybody's eFed up.
Seriously -Knight just got off the rail, and became pretty much a cheating abusive drugued up asshole. -Luna is unhinged in her own subtle way. thang god she drew some balls. but not enough for me to fully appreciate her character. Penn and Daria, I was Not interested in those two and I don't care enough to read their books. -Vaughn is plain weird -Poppy was a doormat -Josh/Ryan/the girlfriend from boon all were one dimensional

Well then, that's exactly what's 3 STARS . I liked it
You know when you read about Fae stories ? meaning they are Cruel. Sadistic. Violent. Murderous?
Well then, that's exactly what's been written. An Awful MC with some serious TWs attached to him. If you've ever experienced a bad relationship where you've been abused and gaslighted.
Then PLEASE refrain from picking up this book, it's not for you.
BUUUUT if you've come for that particularly premise and like Very Dark Fantasy Romance then be my guest. You're gonna be awfully delighted with this author's work and personally I applaud her for what she created because for once you should never trust a Fae nor like them they're simply awful and trickster who delight in our main female character's pain...more

We're dealing with a dark (some horror themed) stalker romance book, so bear with me here Okay? plus there's some serious Trigger Warnings that should be taken into consideration especially going on to the second book.
THE HUNTER
"I’ve committed homicide. Cold-blooded murder. On many men who have worn different faces of the devil. And I’ve done it for various reasons. Whether they raped a child, killed an innocent, or destroyed someone’s life that didn’t deserve it. But I’ve never killed someone out of jealousy. First time for everything, I guess."
___ 18.3%
I find Zade's character very interesting, the guy dedicated his life to stopping human trafficking's and is always reaping about respecting women yet when it comes to our sweet MC he's a deranged stalker that's jealous over the smallest things. Such an oxymore character
he plays mind games on Adeline, stalkes her. spies on her changing her clothes, doing intimates things.
And it boggles my mind how he takes liberty with her life..
plus the scene with the gun ... was that even sanitary?
[image]
But what irks me most with this book is Adeline herself, she literally provokes her abuser at every turn and expect a different outcome of what she usually get , which is *drum roll* him assaulting her !
THE MANIPULATOR
"“Don’t make me ask twice,� he growls, his face dropping to a severe expression. He tilts his jaw down, glaring down at me. The danger in his face scares me, and my juices dampen my thighs in response. “I don’t want you to ask me,� I say slowly. Confusion flits across his eyes for a brief second, and I show him exactly what I mean at that moment. I turn and start to run. But he’s too fast. His hand snaps out and wraps around my hair, yanking me backwards. A sharp gasp escapes as I go weightless. He manages to twist my body so I land painfully on my knees. Just like we both wanted. “You like it when I force you?� he snarls, yanking my head back until I’m looking up at him. His [PEEP] brushes against my cheek, warning me of what’s coming. “You like being a bad little girl, don’t you? You like to defy me because you love it when I scare you. You’re a silly little girl playing with fire,� he taunts, a cruel snarl on his face. Tears prick my eyes from the force of him holding my hair. "
and some chapters later we have this !
THE MANIPULATOR
"My body is full of rage, humiliation, and shame—I know this. But it’s like my brain can’t process those emotions, so it’s just choosing to feel nothing at all. Is this what trauma does? Knowing you’ve been violated but your body chooses to go numb instead?"
[image]
Moreover , the constant reminder of her so called "Terror" gets pretty old halfway through the book. they literally go at it like monkeys every so chapter . And clearly Z worship the ground she walks on. Sooo

We all know the guy ain't gonna hurt you *excessive eyeroll*, or probably he's not gonna cause permanant damage. no need to be scared for your life
Anyways, this was quite the ride but it got boring halfway through. And I'm not one who enjoys theatrics and glorified non-consensual intercourse. there needs to be at least an okay before the fun stuff start otherwise it kills the vibe
