Let’s be clear: this book isn’t fun. It’s not “taboo.” It’s just another story that turns a woman’s trauma into a kink for readers who don’t know the difference between danger and desire.
First of all, Zade is just a bullshit and hypocritical character. He saves adeline only to be the person ruining her??? And then people claim that "she loved it" which is complete bullshit! Their relationship is purely built on sexual abuse!!
This book treats Adeline’s trauma like foreplay, like something that makes the spicy scenes deeper and more emotional. But being forced into certain actions isn’t love. It’s conditioning into being a weaker victim. And this story has no interest in showing healing, or agency, or real consequence.
Zade is framed as her savior and as a vigilante, even though he’s the one who actively tears her apart. Her grief over her grandmother’s death is exploited as vulnerability. Her fear is used as foreplay. Her silence is interpreted as consent.
There is nothing daring about using sexual violence as a plot device. There is nothing raw about calling rape “consensual.” There is nothing beautiful about trauma being eroticized and brushed off as “edgy love.”
If this book actually wanted to explore pain, loss, or trauma? It would’ve shown Adeline healing. Choosing. Resisting. Instead, she’s dragged through hell and handed to the same man who put her there!!
If your definition of love includes rape, stalking, coercion, or silencing a woman’s fear, you should be shot in the foot.
