I started this book because wanted to read the cat and mouse duet however This book had me hooked and gripped from the page I wasn’t sure at first I thought it would be too gory for me but I loved it but it isn’t for the faint hearted. The smut is up there with the best smut I have read a 5 star read from me. 
Can’t wait to read the next books.

I feel like Haunting/Hunting Adeline were better written than this spinoff. Maybe if I had read Satan’s Affair in between the two books I would feel differently, but then it would have given away much of Hunting Adeline. It was good, but just not as WOW as the other 2.

Absolutely crazy town from start to finish. I mostly read it because I was craving some Why Choose? action. The spice scenes were great, but a bit too far in between. Also, personally the gore was a bit too much for me, thus I rated it a bit lower. 

Why Choose, Gore, 4 🔥
