Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton

crazyhatocean's review against another edition

It was mostly cringey even for a dark fantasy. It feels like someone watched too much bad stalker porn and transcribed it into a novel.

I’m not sure if any of this is a spoiler but better safe then sorry.

I liked when Zade was killing the terrible men but I hated him assaulting Adeline. It’s just is gross. I can get over the stalker part eventually but the assault I can’t get over. You can have sex like that but with consent. Horny is not an invitation. Sexual assault is not sexy.

Being a hypocrite isn’t hot either. How can you fight against trafficking then proceed to assault your “love” and call her “little girl” in the process. I’m not one to kink shame, but you’d think after seeing pedophiles have little girls locked up for their pleasure, that’d be a major turn off, right?

Adeline is low key insufferable. And so was Zade when he wasn’t killing people.

The creepy vibes were great though. I also liked the setting.

WTF did I just try and read??? A stalker rapes a woman over and over … and I guess in the end she will like it? I’m not going to finish. I thought it would be a dark romance or twisted love plot. But it’s badly written.

I read this book with the same fascination as ‘You’ because dude is a psychopath. If you’re looking for triggering, dirty, raunchy well written smut then this is the book for you. It’s certainly good stuff. Just don’t take it too seriously. Honestly at the end of the day, the plot is minuscule and the stockholm syndrome is the main point not a bad read- just not something to idolize.

This is a very dark book. Please read the trigger warnings before you even think about reading this book.

From seeing how much this book has a divide on Booktok, I thought I would read it and see how I feel. With the fact I have read the Mind F series, I didn’t feel like it was as dark as Zade was kind of the same as the FMC in that book, in regards to what she does.

But it doesn’t deter from how creepy zade is with his stalking of Addie, how he treats her physically etc. but this book did have plot and wasn’t all about the dark romance part of it.

I did enjoy it and the spice was very spicy and very out there.
