I liked Zoe - she is a survivor and I loved that her recovery isn’t just easy. Axel was sort of hit and miss with me - at times I liked him and others I really wanted to smack him. It irritates me when he was just like, “yeah, I was a jerk to her in the past, but I realized I like her now, so she should get over it.” He never really apologizes for what he did. The story is pretty focused on the action, recovery, and some steam. I do wish we had seen some on how their relationship would work once everything settled down or a scene they told her family, I would classify the ending as HFN vs HEA. That being said, I was hooked. The scenes of the torture she endures is pretty graphic. When it comes to the steam, I would call is kink light. I did enjoy the writing and will probably read the next books to find out what happens to Moira.
