By
Hi Readers!!!! Welcome to Quills and Pages. Today , it's review time for another amazing book:  The Illusions of Innocence . It's 2nd book of the Titans of Terranea series, written by the amazingly talented Natasha Pierce . BLURB If only her innocence could outshine the chaos and deception of our world. When this woman walked into my home, I had no clue what to expect. She was quiet; demure, even. Sweet-natured and compliant. Then he happened.

Even though I’m pissed at him, I still feel drawn to him, almost like he needs me as much as I need him Then tragedy struck. Her innocence held her back, but I can slowly see the real woman underneath as she battles to stand her ground. The one with dirty dreams and intense needs. The one to match my stamina and hunger.

A Critical Lens on 'Hunting Adeline' by H.D. Carlton: Exploring the Disturbing Themes | A Review

By Quills and Pages
I kept delaying writing the review because I had to remember it and didn't want to do that. This 2nd book of Cat and Mouse duet is the story of a human trafficking survivor. This book is a huge  TRIGGER WARNING . Kindly proceed with caution. I even got traumatized after reading it. So to explain the synopsis; Adeline (the main character) got kidnapped at the end of the first book and sold to some people who groomed her for some very rich and powerful clients.  Almost half of the book is based on Adeline surviving the worst situations possible for a woman. Adeline had one advantage someone was fervently searching for her, and eventually, Zade managed to rescue her after four agonizing months. The scene when Zade finds her and she just could not believe it. She crumbled to her knees thinking she was hallucinating. After Zade brings her home she struggles so hard to process her trauma. She learns to fight to take control of her life. She gets close to her mother. She hates h...
