Allereerst dit boek is niet voor iedereen geschikt, kijk zeker even de triggerwarnings en als er iets tussen staat waar jij niet tegen kan sla dit boek dan lekker over! Genoeg boeken om van te genieten. 

Voor mij was dit boek echt een topper. Dit is duistere dark romance en ik heb hiervan genoten (in hoeverre je hier natuurlijk echt van genieten kan spreken). Het boek behandeld heftige dingen die ook tot in de detail worden uitgelegd. Dit vond ik sterk aan het boek. De romance hier was sterk aanwezig en in het begin miste in de connectie tussen Zade en Adeline. Het was natuurlijk wel logisch dat deze op een andere manier plaatsvinden dan in deel 1 als je kijkt naar de omstandigheden. Ik vond Zade weer heerlijk duister, maar toch ook romantisch. Dit boek is echt het perfect voorbeeld van een touch her and you die trope (wel een extreem voorbeeld). De schrijfstijl was erg prettig en ik vloog echt door het boek heen, ondanks de grote hoeveelheid pagina's. De spice was weer lekker veel aanwezig alleen kwam dit vrij laat in het boek. Dit vond ik erg goed als je kijkt naar de omstandigheden. Het was gek geweest als dat gelijk gebeurt was
als ze terugkwam uit dat huis. Ook vond ik het heel sterk dat Claire niet meteen te vinden was. Zo bleef de spanning erin.
Het kleine briefje op het einde van het boek van één van de personages vond ik erg aandoenlijk en precies goed om het verhaal af te ronden. Ik denk dat het anders voor mij niet af had gevoeld. Al met al heb ik enorm "genoten" van dit boek, maar ik zal hem zeker niet aan iedereen aanraden.

I really really loved it. At first it was kind of hard to get into when all the bad things happens but after that I couldn’t put it down

The first 45% of this book is not a dark romance, it's just dark. Addie finds herself in an absolutely terrifying situation that is very hard to read about. The only reason I was able to keep pushing through was because I knew eventually the author was going to get her and Zaid back together. The second half of the book brings back the spice that I came to expect after reading the first book. However, the depiction of the Romance takes an especially dark turn in this novel. Obviously, Addy and Zaid have never had a normal relationship, but the depictions of violence against each other in this book were perhaps a bit too dramatic. I am not a fan of reading about knife play, so most of the spicy scenes were not for me. Overall, I really enjoyed the ending and I'm glad that Addie and Zaid got there "happily" ever after.
