But unfortunately as soon as Addie was saved it went downhill for me. I found that the recovery was rushed just to get to the sex, the sex was definitely not my cup of tea and Addie was just annoying more often than not especially when she started the whole revenge thing, I thought it was cool at first but it got old pretty quickly due to her team-ups feeling more like a scooby doo get together than an actual serious situation and when Sibby was involved I just couldn't read the book as seriously as it was set. The book also felt like it had dragged the ending out too much and there was still too many questions and not enough answers.
Despite all the books shortcomings I did still enjoy it, but only for part 1. Part 2 felt like a whole different category and I didn't enjoy most of it, I kind of felt how I did when I read the first book and I wasn't a fan of that either.

Adeline has been taken. Revenge against Zade, to be sold into the skin trade. Her price tag directly proportionate to Zades enemies hatred of him.
This book is the epitome of "touch her and I'll burn the world down." It's brutal and raw and makes me want to ask the author, "who hurt you?"
It's very tough to read. Graphic descriptions of violent r*pe pepper the pages. I knew this going into it. It was the reason I put off reading these books for so long. I thought I was prepared by reading Haunting Adeline, and now I know that was nothing. Sunshine and roses compared to the barbaric onslaught that is this twisted tale.
Trigger warnings can not adequately prepare one for the bombardment of degradation that follows these characters. Red rooms, barbaric rituals, mutilation, and r*pe spread through the pages like a sinful virus. I covered my mouth because I couldn't bring myself to cover my eyes. I needed to know the ones I was falling in love with would survive.
The Adeline chapters are so depraved and depressing that during them, I long to get away, to Zanes' side. Once there, I'm so worried about what is happening to Addy,all I'd want was to get back to her. It became a vicious battle that I couldn't tare myself away from.
“If you’re my death, then I’m your fucking lifeline.”
As much of a hard time as I had liking Zade in this first book I fell in love with him in this one. I now understand why people refer to him as a "book boyfriend." Not only is he the embodiment of tall dark and broody, but he also is a modern-day batman. Saving women a children from the evil clutches of the dark market, abuse, and death. He would go to the end of the world to save Addy as he shows again and again.
"As if conjured straight out of a Rob Zombie film, she steps out of her bedroom door,"
Sibby....the comedic relief. She is unhinged in all the best possible ways. A creepy murderous living doll. Every time she graced the pages, I found myself giggling right along with her.
