As much as I loved this book, you must READ THE WARNINGS FIRST. I had read books before this that were considered dark romances, but none of it was enough to train for this. This is next level, in all the best ways possible. Zade is the definition of morally gray; he is the worst kind of the best person possible. I usually do not like the heroines of the stories, but Adaline is an influential, conflicted person, and it creates a great dynamic between the two main characters. The story's content around Zade's job is challenging to get through and, at times, made me, as a reader, conflicted on whether I supported Zade. It is a very interesting 'two wrongs don't make a right, or do they?' situation. Books within this genre are usually relatively flat with any subplot, but I thought it was an exciting choice to add a murder mystery and haunted house to the entire story. It made me think this was an actual book rather than a Wattpad fanfiction. Don't get me wrong, I love a good One Direction mafia romance fanfiction, but there are times, like this one, when I wanted more and received it.
