I was happy Cain finally clued into what was really going on in the cult, its teachings, and the falsities being preached. BUT I wish the cult had gone bye bye in the last book. I know it's a big lead up to future books, but my heart and head can only handle reading so much about it. Which is why, this will probably be my last book in the series. At least for a while.

maddie and flame were soooo different from the other couples that it was easy to get into their story. it had so much pain from them both, and it was hard to read what flame went through... i remember i had to stop reading some scenes cause they were very detailed in what happened in his past.
still, it was a good read, especially now that i can connect what happened with cain that he got to where he was on book 4 😂 so good to finally understand that part 💀

I think I cried more at the tiniest of things because they were monumental steps for both of them.
I think the author did an amazing job and depicting both of their traumas and their journey to healing.
The drawing at the end crushed my soul, I felt Maddie’s longing.
1/5 on the spice scale. I’m only rating what happened between the two main characters. I don’t consider anything that happened before as spicy because that shit was rape and not in any way shape or form, sex. But the scenes between Maddie and Flame, so fucking sweet and beautiful.
