EDIT: I am reducing my rating because it gave people the wrong impression. I do not support Zade’s character. He is a hypocrite and a rapist. I did enjoy this duet for the writing and the story. This part especially traumatised me but I couldn’t stop reading it.

Potential spoilers ahead!

Now this one was dark dark��
I didn’t expect this even after reading the author’s note.
I know that all the awful cruel scenes were to depict the ugly reality of human trafficking. And it’s not for the faintest of the heart. But I have to say even for me it was sometimes sickening to read some of those scenes. I just couldn’t imagine it would be that bad.
At first i was dumbfucked how the all mighty Zade took almost 3 months to find his woman.
But i realise that unfortunately that is the best case scenario irl. Most victims in skin trade don’t get rescued at all.. What Addie went through was hard to even imagine and reading it so explicitly made me hurt for those who had to deal with it for real.

The book has 2 parts and the whole first part the main characters are separated and a lot of time passes by.
So if you are expecting a cute reunion, you’ll be disappointed.

Adeline has changed, obviously. I cried for her. She suffers from ptsd almost the entire book and her healing takes the most focus in the second half of the book and for a long time period too. Which I liked. It would’ve been weird and unrealistic to see her being all happy after like a month and willing to bang her bf.
And just like she said “only a monster can create another monster�� so she becomes one to get her revenge. As she should.

Zaddy�� Why is he so much more fuckable suddenly??!! Did it really have to take him getting heartbroken and going on a killing spree to finally come to his senses?
Idk man I prefer him in this book more than the first one. BUT I still dislike him as love interest in general.
Also he is a virgo? I call bullshit on that, he is such a perfect psycho stalking scorpio.
But anyway, the way he was so patient and understanding with Addie even when she wanted to kill him was almost his redemption arc. Not only did he help her heal but he made sure her abusers paid for everything. He talks too much when he fucks tho. Like sir? Shut up and do your job.

Still it was not enough. I don’t think anything will ever be enough to justify the horror Addie went through. It all happened because of Zade. Don’t dare denying it.
He angered the wrong person and that douche sold adeline’s address. So whoever says she would’ve suffered more without Zade is delusional imo.

The ending was cute in it’s own way. Anal and proposal aww the romance is truly not dead.

After this shit I can read any book. I won’t even bother checking trigger warnings anymore. I’m desensitised for life✌��
