I don't care if she eventually starts to like him. but at the same time he's a good guy that saves girls from sex trafficking (am I supposed to care?), and also he's hot and she starts finding him kinda desirable on the part where I left off, but I'm going to stop you right there. Like she's legitimately begging him not to touch her and is crying. He breaks into her house a bunch and sacres her//leaves her creepy gifts, then he forces her to have sex with him more than once. Basically this guy is a stalker and he's obsessed with this girl. I'm really not into the whole forced strait up sexual assault trope and was not expecting it. Regardless of the raving reviews this book has I couldn't finish it. i’m no literary analyst but as a reader i can say at least the vibes were there. and the whole murder mystery wasn’t interesting in the slightest.

nonetheless, it didn’t take away from my actual enjoyment of the story. like the writing was like how gen Z talk and communicate. like tf do you mean by “a pregnant pause” ?!?! are you having a baby or some shit? golly. the writing was atrocious and kinda cringe. Now into the actual context and structure of this whole book. 😅😅😅did i question my sanity while reading this book? abso-fucking-lutely !!!

sometimes we just turn left, then ignore all the red flags, then rinse and repeat. like i’m so dead serious right now when i say there’s something about them that scratches an itch in the deep crevices of my brain.Īnd hear me out. reading this book wasn’t enough, i need to eat it, and inject it into my veins.Įvery minute i was reading about Zade and Adeline doing exactly what they did in this book, i felt like i passed away. i was up all night sweaty and reading until the crack ass of dawn. This was honestly such a fun, jaw dropping, shirt ripping, bedsheet gripping, panties dropping, and knee trembling book. Adeline is better than me because i know if a man that looked like Zade approached me, i’d fold instantly. i thought i was desensitized to smut at this point but i was shocked, to say the least, at the words my eyes were reading. it’s very graphic and i absolutely do not condone any of the actions set in this book.Īnywayyys, I literally smacked my forehead and dragged my hand down my face so many times while reading this book. if you wanna get into dark romance, don’t let this book be your gateway into the genre. Now before i get into it i gotta say that even though this book is marketed at 18+, i personally consider it 21+ it can be very triggering for some so tread lightly.
