It is performed in dual style, but both narrations did such an amazing job in bringing characters to life. I love the duo of Zane and juniper this story compliments the 1st book with leon and Rae very well and there is a perfect balance of spicy deliciousness, raw emotions and deep dark revenge. Juniper's PTSD is beautifully well-written and I related to her so many times, so I loved this over-arching theme of healing on our own time, not being forced through it, and not being made to feel guilty for the ways in which we cope in the meantime.

Natomiast gdy trafia na demona, któremu wkłada nóż między żebra, nie spodziewa się, że ten się tym podnieci. Więcej demonów, krwi, moralnie wątpliwych decyzji, istot czających się w lesie - świat się pięknie rozrósł po to, byśmy doświadczyli jeszcze mocniejszej gęsiej skórki, niepokoju i obawy o życie naszych bohaterów. Some clarification first, we briefly meet Zane and Juniper in 𝐇𝐒𝐓𝐓 just enough to tease us about this book and frankly 𝐈 𝐀𝐃𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐃 Zane a lot.The second half was about her getting revenge and seeing her plan play out while she also got over some of her fears. We did get a little more of them with this book and what Everly strives for (and I can't wait to see what they do next).

I thought that Leon and Rae were amazing but now that I met these two… they definitely outdid them by a MILE! Now don't get me wrong the smut and sexy times were 𝐆𝐎𝐋𝐃 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐃𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐋𝐘 𝐃𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐘 despite my dislike of Juniper.The fact that she literally has a freaking demon wrapped around her finger was just so fucking epic and iconic! Let’s be real tho, the most shocking part about this book isn’t the gun or knifeplay, it’s how Juniper goes jogging three days after being half ripped to shreds. I will continue with the next one in the trilogy (hopefully in a better mood), because those books have a great potential and I kinda of dig their kinky. Not sure what it says about me that I was so delighted by that particular scene, but it was cathartic and I cheered a little. Am I going to try my best to do this book justice anyways, despite my terrible memory, because these characters and this series deserves the best?

I'm in a funky mood, with lots of healthy issues going on in my life right now and I just couldn't concentrate on their story. I still adore this author and everything they are writing to make people feel more empowered and showing lots of different ways to reclaim things. Harley took it a bit further in this book, introducing a touch more of the taboo, but again, not in a way that is a turn off. Her romances never let me down and I seriously fall harder and harder for her romance heroes each and every time I finish one of her books. I feel almost dirty giving this book the 3 Star rating because I know that it's entirely me and my expectations that's the problem and not the book.Content Note This book contains sexual scenes, kink/fetish content, horror elements, drug use, scenes of trauma, anxiety, and PTSD, and depictions of 'hard' kink/edgeplay.
