Lilah broke my heart over and over again, because her mind truly protected her from the trauma by being 100% indoctrinated. The fact that she found happiness at the end and was able to see The Order for what it truly is… 

And Ky, our resident whore. Ain’t nobody have the patience like this man. He was gonna fight for Lilah, even when she could not.

2/5 on the spicy scale. A few sweet scenes we get, where Lilah finally experiences sex.

This book was very heavy on the horrors that Lilah went through.

WOW!!!! this book was A LOT. it was so dark and raw and heartbreaking. I loved Ky and lilah so much I couldn't put the book down. bad idea. this book is incredibly upsetting and graphic. I loved it way more than the first one, but it's wayyyyyyyyy darker. seriously... do not read it if you can't handle reading non-consent.

i really enjoy dark romance but i’m just not sure how i feel about this series HOWEVER for some reason i just keep reading??????? i have already read the first three and already have the next two downloaded.......but i did like this one a lot more than the first one! i felt like the relationship between Ky and Lilah was nicely developed and i really liked reading their moments together, i did think this one could potentially be a little more triggering than the first one so be careful when reading it because it touches many sensitive topics and the scenes are very explicit!
