adventurous dark emotional funny mysterious sad tense medium-paced

3.0

The overall plot of the story was pretty well thought out and written. I didn’t really love the ending as it seemed it was fresh rushed. I also didn’t understand why she (the author) has this conflicting view on Christianity. Maybe she is conflicted internally? Not sure. But would not recommend to anyone unless they are okay with a pretty dark romance.

PEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS cause this book will NOT be for everyone!

Hunting Adeline was I will admit my favourite book this year to date!
It was EXTREMELY dark and it could be triggering to many. I however enjoyed reading the MFC journey from the dark and violent start all the way through to recovery then onto her final revenge.
I was on the edge of my seat from the start until the end waiting and hoping with baited breath.
Not only did she have to suffer through the unthinkable she also had to fight through her demons to find her way back to herself but came out stronger and by far a fearless warrior for all she endured with the support from the ones she loves. I wish I could read this for the first time again.
