I surprisingly enjoyed this book and I am not sorry about it. 

What was most ironic though was that Zade’s life purpose was to eradicate human trafficking and the skin trade and killing pedophiles yet he stalked and forced himself on a woman. Like?? 

The whole “saving the women and children” part honestly just felt like something to give Zade a redeeming quality while he did a lot of morally fucked up shit. However that dark aspect of the book did touch on important topics to do with corruption in power and the skin trade. Along with this, it was good to have multiple plot points at the same time that weren’t just their relationship such as Gigi’s diaries and the mystery of her death.

I love me a dark romance book but this one just doesn’t hit the spot. It’s said to be a book with CNC, which in some instances that’s right. In other it’s just outright rape. It makes me sad that the book (probably unintentionally) glorifies the rape scenes. I’ve seen ALOT of young people praising this book. 

I enjoyed a few parts of the book but I do think there’s a few plotholes and alot of contradictory with the MMC. I encourage the author to keep going and evolving their writing style. I might be back in the future to give them another chance. I see alot of potential, but in my opinion, they’re not quite there yet.
