‘Heaven isn’t a place you go to when you die, It’s inside the person that’s worth dying for’ - H D Carlton ♥️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars 

CHECK TWS: Extremely dark compared to book 1, heavy focus on trafficking, not for everyone.

I adore the cat & mouse duet. It scratches something in my brain. H D Carlton is a master of bringing darkness to life but simultaneously makes me feel like someone is holding my hand… 🐈‍⬛ 

I was super wary going into this since I’d heard it was completely different to book 1 & involved some of my own triggers.  But I found it weirdly healing? I like that she didn’t shy away from horrific themes, really testing how long one can remain hopeful. 🩸 

I wouldn’t necessarily class this book as a romance,  the focus on healing is FAR more prevalent. Highlighting how healing looks different on everyone but how important it is to share that pain was beautifully captured. 🥀

I’m not eloquent enough with words to explain why these books mean so much to me…sooooo
Run, little mouse 🐭
