I also loved the meeting between Zade and Sibby. I can't wait to start the connecting duet to this book and read more about Zade and to see more of Sibby even just for a little bit. Reading this book only makes me more excited to read haunting and hunting Adeline than I already was.
I honestly wasn't sure if I'd like this book or not but it was absolutely amazing. Yeah it was quite graphic and can be very difficult to read some parts of it but I absolutely loved it.
Definitely a 5 star read for sure and I'd highly recommend it to those who are able to stomach and withstand the graphic content. Definitely recommend checking the trigger/content warnings.

Anyways this was a good time, I only read it because it’s suggested you do before you read hunting Adeline, but I feel like you don’t? I don’t know I didn’t read it yet. I really enjoyed the ending of this. But this is dark so if you don’t like dark romance don’t read this(it’s not much of a romance though). I felt so bad for the main character and what she went through. I do wish we got to see more of her and her henchmen though.

I strongly debated adding a review of this book at first, it just seemed like a super gory, plotless, confusing mess. HOWEVER, that ending... mostly the epilogue itself is just, idk. I read this book because I wanted to read Haunting Adeline and was recommended to read this novella first (I'm assuming because we're introduced to Zade here). I won't lie, from page one, the trigger warnings fly in. I felt anxious, confused, and mildly nauseous at points, but finding out what you do in the epilogue... I just am in awe atp. The representation of surviving abuse, experiencing psychological duress, and a journey of potential healing, I've never seen something written so well. Please, if you choose to read, do your research, check the trigger warnings FIRST, then go in with an open mind and search out the underpinnings of what the plot is trying to portray. Yes, there's smut, and I mean A LOT of it (that's the part that made me a little nauseous because of its context), so if that's your thing, it's definitely here, but tread carefully and enjoy :)
