Speechless!

It took me awhile to listen to this series, because I wasn’t sure if I would like it. Now I’m floundering wondering what can top that in my next read. This series is crazy dark, and highlights a topic most of us are completely ignorant of, but happens in the world. It will give you an up close and personal view of sex trafficking. I know this book is fiction, but it’s not really, because this stuff does happen and it’s just monstrous how many evil people there are in the world. However, at the heart of everything, this is a true crazy, dark romance. It’s not perfect or even sane, but it’s love in the most primal way and I’m so sad it’s over. Now, the narration oh boy the narration by these two amazing people make this story come to life. Teddy Hamilton is one of my favorite narrators, not just by his sexy voice, but he is a true artist and captures Zade so perfectly and Michelle Sparks did such an amazing job with Addie, I haven’t listened to a lot of stuff with her, but she blew me away with her acting skills and made me truly believe in what Addie went through. It’s an amazing series and I highly recommend it. Watch the triggers though because there are many and if you’ve gone through anything that has given you triggers, I’m sorry for what you went through.

Zero warning tags

That’s my only issue with this book.
I give it 3 stars for that reason. 75% of the book this is happening and the other 25% is of her healing, finding her new normal again with her lover. That part was great.
The graphic details of being raped I personally think the book could have gone without. But that’s my opinion.

I love dark romance. But there should have been a warning label here at the bio on audible that lets readers know that there will be multiple and graphic details of the female character getting raped and sodomized. It was so written in detail I literally felt sick to my stomach and just skipped it all together.

There are 3 rape scenes here for anyone who wants to know. And the 2nd one she is being sodomized when it happens. It’s very detailed so please readers be warned. There are zero trigger warnings.

If I read this book again I will just be skipping to the part she is with the male lead lol.

First book was great.

⚠️ CHECK YOUR TRIGGER WARNINGS ⚠️ I can not stres

⚠️ CHECK YOUR TRIGGER WARNINGS ⚠️
I can not stress this enough! This is an extremely Dark Romance!

I am at a loss for words. This is the 2nd book in the Cat and Mouse Duet. Zade and Addie are my favorite couple!

As you should know after book one Adeline(The Diamond) has been kidnapped by the people Zade has made a career shutting down.

I have never had a issue with triggers before. But this book pushed those boundaries with the realistic and incredibly traumatic abuse Addie goes through from the human traffickers that have kidnapped her..... The hunt 😳 and so much more.

But you know Addie,she is strong! And Zade would never give up till he found her and everyone involvedis dead!

So so so spacey!

Goooood! The continuing of this series is a ???? I have never read from this author, but this performance of these narrators was on point! Definitely not for the faint of heart. Read the triggers for this. This may not be for everyone, but definitely deserves the 5 stars!

Holy smokes

This was so well done. I loved and hated Zade, enjoyed seeing Addie change as she went through the stages of healing. Well done!

A perfect blend of sexy and suspense

Worth the credit, but not if you can’t handle sex scenes in your books… kept my attention for sure !

Perfect follow up

I read so many reviews that this book was way too graphic, torture porn, traumatizing, etc. I almost didn’t read it because that’s not my vibe. While there are definitely graphic scenes that will be triggering for some people, it was nowhere near what I expected.

I went through a Karin Slaughter phase and good lord, those books are nightmare fuel but this was pretty delicately graphic, enough to explain the horror but not dwell on it.

As far as Adeline’s recovery and new “kinks” - they’re all explained in the book and move the story towards a conclusion. Finding a way to deal with trauma is the natural first step to recovery. I loved it. Will totally listen to it again someday!
