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.

This book took me on a ROLLER COASTER of emotions. The first half of the book was very difficult to get through at times so please be aware of the trigger warnings. With that said, the second half of the book was so beautifully written. I fell in love with Zade more in this book than the first one. H.D. Carlton knows what to give her readers.
