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.

This is the second book to the cat and ouse duet and it leaves off with Addie being sex trafficed and Zade is using his resources to hunt down and kill whoever was involved. Throughout the story it tells Addie’s POV while being in the whorehouse before she auctioned off to her buyer. The book is a lot more detailed and vivid on what she goes through and very heartbreaking. I love Zade’s character because he’s determined to do whatever it takes to protect Addie and get her back. He’s willing to burn down the world for her and he’ll do just that to find her…

****SPOILER**** My favorite part of the book is when Zade finds Addie in the train after she starts to murder people and Enzo helps her escape. Also when Zade finds Sibby and brings her into the mix.
