DID NOT FINISH: 85%

I realised i didn't care what happened, so stopped reading. I really liked the setting and the world has lots of potential.

Heck yes, I loved this book. I went from smirking, to laughing  to sobbing and back within the fun, emotional read. 
I didn't expect all the feels going in, but the way the book explored grief, guilt and abuse tickled my heart in a certain way.
When she sat at the grave and started talking I sobbed. Side note, thinking about this scene as I write this has made the tears start again and I finished the book a couple of days ago.
Also , when she opened the drawer and everything from him popped out, I had to pause because I couldn't see through the tears and big feelings. 
Spoiler ahead as well:
The fact that she didn't just join him to be at his side!!! No, she is now as powerful as him, has the same purpose as him just brought me so much joy. 

Also am I the only one that played out the scenario of her boss finding out afterwards?
Like how she would spend so much time thinking it was tragic because she seemed to just start living again and now she is gone. 

Anyway another absolute winner by a new favourite author.

This series is so much fun. I loved this book just as much as the first. The sexy times were so good.
The emotional vulnerability from both of them almost made me cry it was so damn sweet.

Holy shit, I fucking loved this. The dynamic between the characters and the growth over the series of books is just phenomenal. I love that Quinn is really coming into her own power. She is a total badass. 
Side note: I'm putting money on her little friend being part of the cult. 
And the smut is smutting. Far out this book is hot!

Please check trigger warnings. It contains R#PE, its not CNC. There's a big difference.

I'm not sure what it was I didn't love, theoretically it has all of my favourite things to read in an erotica but it just didn't land.

Also noting, this isn't a dark romance, maybe erotica.
