That ending was wild I can’t believe that that was an amazing twist that i did not see coming at all i loved meeting Zade before reading haunting/hunting adeline i am glad i read this one before i read haunting/hunting i had a friend tell me to read Satan’s affair first because it had a twist at the ending that if you read haunting/hunting adeline first it would've spoiled it for you so I'm glad i read Satan’s affair first that ending i am still in denial with though thats crazy i can’t wait to read the rest of the cat and mouse duet and i rated this book five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ so damn good😁🥰🥰🙃🙃😁😁

****TW****

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 :)
