Masterpiece. I fell in love with this series instantly after reading satans affair and I can now say I’m obsessed after reading Haunting. The characters are perfect, the story is so good and twisted and it’s super spicy! I immediately started hunting! I need more!

Ew.

No, no, no, no, no. Where's the eye bleach when you need it?

I can't believe I read the entire thing. I only did it to try and figure out what the heck Bookstagram likes about it. And even after enduring the entire flipping thing, I can't think of a single aspect.

Gross. 

Like actually gross. And I like some kinky stuff. But this? No.

I'm not a fan of literal r@pe over and over. No. That isn't dark fantasy.

What a joke.

Carlton needs to learn three things:
1. Physical arousal ≠ consent.
2. GUNS 👏🏼 ARE 👏🏼 NOT 👏🏼 BODY 👏🏼 SAFE 👏🏼
3. She should never write another 'romance'. Or pick up a pen again.
