The atrocities Flame and Maddie faced as children and adults is horrifying. Reading about it all was really uncomfortable. I was happy they found solace in each other, but as with the last book, I wish there had been some mental health help for them. 

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.  

CW: child physical and sexual abuse, violence, murder, blood, cult/new religious order, kidnapping

okay so i was really surprised by how good this book was. i had read book 4 when i just about gave up reading book 2 and thought this one would be the same, but booktok gave me the push i needed and i dont regret it! 

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 💀

really like this one! i love the relationship that was built between maddie and flame and i also really enjoyed watching them overcome their traumas and fears in an attempt to be better for each other 😭 i know it’s a dark romance and it approaches sensitive topics just like the other books, but even with that knowledge i still had to take a break from the book halfway through it because i thought it was really heavy, so just be sure to check the trigger warnings and make sure you know what you’re walking into!
