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.

Ugh. This book. I did not enjoy the first book so I didn't expect to enjoy this one either but holy shit did this one really double down on its terrible terribleness. My reasons why will be the content warnings, I just don't think these things need to be explicitly described to be impactful. I'm giving 2 stars instead of 0 because at least you do get to see the FMC heal from her trauma (sorta?) and get revenge. Predictable? Yes. Satisfying? Also yes. If you decide to read this duet do so knowing that it is dark dark dark and also dumb dumb dumb.

I really liked this series and books. The smut part of it is wild and definitely took me by surprise more than once. The sexual scenes are a little hard to follow sometimes and hard to visualize in your head what they’re even doing because it gets so complicated and confusing. I love the characters, the storyline in this book was intense and thrilling and I was dedicated to her getting saved and getting revenge.
