Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton

dark

1.5

This rating is only because it wasn’t too slow. I thought the writing was extremely poor, but I also learned a valuable lesson, I am not hardcore. Some things are simply not meant for me and that kind of gun play is not one of them. But also show, don’t tell

I wanted to really love this book but there’s so many things that irked me. And made it so much less enjoyable. Adeline was witty and funny but also there’s so many mentions of her drinking and getting drunk.
Zade is hot and would say the best sexy lines and then follow it up with the biggest ICKS I’ve ever read. He says he’s her new god like that’s so weird.
But this made me want to stop reading altogether: “Are you saying you’re my daddy?” “That’s right, baby. And you’re my good little girl”. Coming from a guy who saves children from sex trafficking, calling your stalking victim “my good little girl” is so wrong and disturbing.

Who was going to tell me this book had literal crack in it? This book absolutely consumed me.

Let’s get one thing straight. Stalking and breaking and entering are red flags

Honestly I was not sure I was going to like this book when people were raving about it. But I honestly ended up loving the book. The pacing was great and I loved how the two plot points interconnected by the end. I ended the book loving Zade and not caring about his murdering tendencies.
