Very VERY spicy. I read the cat and mouse duet before this but I’m finally happy to see into Sibbys life and past. Cant wait to read what happens to her after the end of hunting Adeline

This book was pretty good! to be honest, I didn't know what this book was going to fully be about when I started it and I was... shocked, to say the least. This book was decently gory, but the graphic descriptions of death during these sexual scenes made me very uncomfortable at times. I will admit, the ending twist was incredibly interesting, it made me want to reread it to spot clues that could have pointed us to what happened in the end. But altogether, it was a fun read, a great intro to a hopefully amazing series, but because of the uncomfortable scenes, I probably won't read it again soon.

This was a lot to be honest, I mainly just read it to get context before getting to Satans Affair in Haunting Adeline.

I skimmed the spice scenes, it was really not my jam and I just didn’t care.

Sibel is very interesting, her story is sad but I also HATE when people with schizophrenia or DID are made out to be serial killers because it is such a harmful stereotype.

challenging dark sad fast-paced

1.0

I've read a fair bit of dark romance but this is a different level entirely. It felt more like the point was how many potentially triggering things can one fit in 150 pages with a plot of a Criminal Minds episode. This is a gorey book to say the least. 

The fucking a corpse while covered in it's blood was a lot to handle.
