I’m not sure if any of this is a spoiler but better safe then sorry. 

I liked when Zade was killing the terrible men but I hated him assaulting Adeline. It’s just is gross. I can get over the stalker part eventually but the assault I can’t get over. You can have sex like that but with consent. Horny is not an invitation. Sexual assault is not sexy. 

Being a hypocrite isn’t hot either. How can you fight against trafficking then proceed to assault your “love” and call her “little girl” in the process. I’m not one to kink shame, but you’d think after seeing pedophiles have little girls locked up for their pleasure, that’d be a major turn off, right?


 Adeline is low key insufferable. And so was Zade when he wasn’t killing people. 

The creepy vibes were great though. I also liked the setting.

I hate Sam. Tate had no self respect. They fell in love in the blink of an eye. They have no chemistry. That’s all you need to know.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 9%.
I’m sorry I couldn’t do it. The way she thinks makes her brother sound like he’s 5 in her eyes. If you catch me thinking “Poor baby never got to finish his nap. I need to find him a safe bed for tonight.” About my grown ass brother. Kill me.
