Where do I even begin. I really loved this book and the fact that it was hard to put down because I was so engaged in the story. Adeline might be one of my new favorite characters because she is just so real and snarky even when she knows she shouldn't be. The book definitely has some dark moments and topics which are tough with the focus on trafficking. However, it really amps up the anti-hero vibe for Zade. Ironically, I didn't think I would be intrigued by the political corruption conspiracy theory element, but it really sucked me in. I also loved that while we had that dynamic we also have Addie basically working to solve a personal cold case. I think these two story lines really added to the engrossing nature of the story. 

The romance of course was great. I mean it was dark... the hands... was an interesting way to start things out. I mean not to mention Addie is having this moral dilemma for most of the book about being attracted to her stalker. It provides for some amazing back and forth... and some really intense and spicy scenes... I really enjoyed the dynamic between these two, despite the fact that you know he stalked her. It really does border the line on non/dub consent a bit so I think that's one of those things that you have to be aware of going in. Although I feel like for the most part it's more dub con. The way this book gave me such an intense cliffhanger was uncool and now I'm going to have to disappear to consume book two. I hate that I waited so long to read these.
