I LOVED THIS BOOK!!

THE CLIFFHANGER THO- wasn't expecting that and like excuse me?! I'm so excited to read hunting Adelineee!

This is genuinely the worst book I’ve ever read, and I’ve read MULTIPLE Colleen Hoover books.

I read Credence by Penelope Douglas earlier this year, and though that was a shocking read, I ate that book up like it was pork dumplings. I was looking for more books like Credence, and was thus recommended Haunting Adeline by H. D. Carlton.

I am never trusting BookTok ever again. I have given them second chances like a book trope and they disappoint me every time.

THIS IS NOT A ROMANCE BOOK AND SHOULD NEVER BE CONSIDERED ONE. It is a book about a man STALKING a woman and sexually assaulting her. The author essentially condoning Zade’s abuse towards Adeline by making her constantly second guess whether she consented to things, is just awful.

The actual writing is horrible and filled with the most bizarre metaphors and similes I’ve ever read.

The B plot about Adeline attempting to solve her great-grandmother’s murder WAS SO BORING, I had to skim it every time.

Very dark, sometimes disturbingly so.  Please check the trigger warnings.

Really enjoyed this book but it is very, very disturbing. Take note of the content warnings if you plan to read it.
