⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

👀Tropes: Dark Romance (really dark) with revenge, sex with interesting objects, and much much more.

☠️CW: Straight from author's website - Warning: This is a dark romance that contains rape, graphic violence and sexual assault, explicit sexual situations, strong language, human trafficking, PTSD, and kinks such as degradation, knife play, blood play, and somnophilia.

📚Read Method: Physical book, Kindle eBook, Audible

📕Review: Beginning of book notes... "everything hurts". Every time I read this, I just hurt, even though I know the ending. HD Carlton has a way of writing heartbreak that I will never understand. She throws in these little nibbles of happiness/humor when all things are going to shit. Like chapter 13
Mama T and Z sitting eating chocolate chip cookies when he meets the Basilisk Brothers. It's a small win when this book can make me smile when it's so sad.

Beware of Chapter
18. It will literally break you. and Chapter 22 will tape you back together.


💖Quotes:
"You keep threatening me to marry you, shouldn't I know your last name?"

"My birthday is September 7th" "Doesn't surprise me you're a virgo, next"

"Meadows, baby. Our last name is Meadows. "Yours. Don't get ahead of yourself, your going to have to beg"

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.

Omg I LOVED the book. It was dark and disturbing but YK what the world is dark and disturbing. I feel like this book is a reflection of this world. And I thank the author for being real
