I haven't actually finished reading this yet, but it's one of those books where you have to stop just to appreciate it. I know this book is beyond dark and will make readers uncomfortable, trauma under your belt or not, but it's also the kind of uncomfortable that one should experience.

I thought H.D Carlton had peaked when she wrote 'Does it hurt?', but only in the sense where her writing had simply matured into a masterpiece. Then, I read 'Haunting Adeline' and of course, it was fantastic and hits just the right spots.

Imagine my surprise when she opted to take advantage of this opportunity to twist this dark romance into something important; raw and traumatizing, but also beautiful. Again, I know this book won't suit everyone's stomach, but if you're looking to feel something - I mean, REALLY feel something, you have to read this, and suffer the pain alongside Addie, as well as the love.
