Zade had the whole ‘I am very bad ass' thing that made me cringe, the way he talked himself up was unattractive to me. I also detested the way he became obsessed with Addie, he saw a photo of her out front of her book signing and immediately stopped in his tracks and declared her as something special and not like anyone else. Really? I couldn't help but roll my eyes. I also found the double standards he set for himself laughable, he goes after paedophiles and men that hurt women, he finds them despicable and has no qualms getting rid of them but it's perfectly fine for him to torment Addie?

Addie was also an annoying character, she had absolutely no self preservation skills, and was definitely not as concerned about her psycho stalker as she should have been.

I feel like a lot of the character flaws could be chalked up to bad writing, the dialogue was so overly dramatic and formal at times, it was a little ridiculous.

I must admit that I did enjoy them together somewhat, regardless of their flaws, but I lost interest with Zade and Addie and was finding the book difficult to finish. Truthfully I found myself more invested in Gigi's story.
