Just wow! When I finished this duet, I was so sad it was over. And, I was so stunned that I fell in love with a stalker. Definitely buckle up for a WILD freaking ride if you pick up this duet.

okay so. there’s a hell of a lot i could say about this book, and there r deffo mixed reviews on it. i personally loved it, it was dark at times for sure but i read so quickly that honestly i basically skip through it all. if you’re easily effected by books, this might not be the best choice. but, it is an amazing book. some reviews say it was romancing SA, which i think is true (although it wasn’t all of the time), but other than that the book, storyline and author are amazing. but yeah if you get upset easily, or were upset by the first book, you’re most probably going to be by this one. i wasn’t upset to the point where i was crying, but obviously those bits weren’t the most pleasant to read/imagine. however, i think this book is amazing, i hate books that bore me in the first 20 pages, and this book… certainly did not! anyway i’ve blabbered enough and basically it’s a great great great book but can be upsetting

I wish there was a trigger warning before i started the second book. It was really difficult to get through some parts of the book based on scenarios that were being inflicted. It is however a very well written book.

This book has whole heartedly changed me. 
I'm going to try write this review as in depth as I can without giving anything way, i'll get back to you when in done.
Spoilers?: yeah no you’re safe don’t worry. 

Off the back of Haunting Adeline obviously H.D Carlton left us with our butts on the edge of our seats, our jaws on the floor and our hearts in our mouth. 
Throughout haunting Adeline, I'm not sure about anyone else but I developed such an emotional connection to the characters Adeline and Zade, in the Hunting Adeline this connection and understanding is only deepened, thoroughly. 

Hunting Adeline gets very sad, traumatic, heartbreaking and all round just deep as f**k, very fast. 
Right from the first chapter seen from 'The Diamond' aka Adeline, we're thrown into the beginning of her soon to be raging PTSD. The events that Adeline both whiteness' and becomes a victim to truly pulls your heart out, H.D is very good at explaining these events and almost making you feel like you are truly experiencing it. 

I said this in my review for Haunting Adeline and i'll say it again... this book is not for the faint hearted! However now I truly mean it, again without giving too much away, If you or anyone you're close with have had experiences with g,rape, as brilliant as this book was, please don't read it if you have even the slightest suspicion that it could effect you, chances are it will. 

The book does get more lighthearted (if thats even possible when speaking about H.D Carlton's work).

Pulling this to a close, while this book was still incredible, it did make me cry at times, it did make me feel physically unwell at times but it as also completely changed the way I view a lot of things. 
I'd say this book is a real eye opener to the real world and the sort of things that can happen or do happen without our acknowledgement. 

I loved this book so so so much and I hope other people also see it in the way I did. 

If you've made it to the end of this review, thank you, and do send me a friend request as I love connecting with people that share the same interests.
