Some things are better left unwritten. This book is one of those things.

4.5

If there’s one thing I’m absolutely feral for, it’s a redemption arc. 

This was even more heavy and dark than the first, especially within the first 50%. I was thoroughly immersed and on the edge of my seat watching the finale unfold. I’m glad I took a chance on seeing what this duet is all about for myself. Do I think this duet is a must read for everyone? Absolutely not. Check the trigger warnings and be wary, because this is a pitch black disturbing realm that will have you questioning many morals. 

Horror suspense erotica, that’s about how I can sum this duet up. Zade and Addie are reminiscent of The Joker & Harley Quinn in this second installment especially. Psychotic, deranged, sick, and twisted. The cat and mouse duet will be sticking with me for a long time. 

4.5 ⭐️ // 4.5 🌶️

I absolutely loved this book. It made me laugh, cry, hate and love. The second one is definitely way more darker then the first one which makes it more realistic. Nothing is just black or white, there's a variety of grey resembled in MMC, Zade, and other characters. 
I'm really grateful to the author for writing about this themes, even though it is hard to read sometimes. We all know that is a lot of bad things happening in the world, yet we pretend that it's not there to be able to sleep in peace and without fear. H.D. Carlton did a great work at combining unpleasant experiences and situations with psychologically messed up relationship. She got me as obsessed with the plot and the characters as Zade is obsessed with Addie...
