This is a book that's extreme hyped on social media, and I guess I expect more? It was kinda slow, but also kinda relaxing?
I liked the c-plot the most. I was deeply invested in knowing who killed Adeline's great-grandmother. The ghost-vibes was a nice touch.

I also liked Parson Manor. It was described perfectly!
I think Adeline was an okay FMC. I really don't see the hate for her. Zade was also okay, although unhinged lol.

Will be diving right into Hunting Adeline🫣

Took one for the team and I can’t say I hated it… 🫣 the cliffhanger was rude tho bc I originally did not plan on reading the second part

Wow. This was a journey, like so much had happened I wouldn't even know where to begin except by just saying, I love this book. I can 100% understand why people wouldn't and I think there reasons are incredibly valid.

Dark Romance is a genre that is NOT for everyone, it deals with a lot of dark themes and I urge anyone to check trigger warnings and if you know deep down it is not for you then please don't read it because it seriously won't be worth your time and I'd rather people read stuff they enjoy. And also most importantly your mental health seriously matters.

I loved the plot, I enjoyed the mystery surrounding Adeline and her family and all those action-packed scenes with Zade, I also enjoyed a lot of the dynamics that thread throughout the book. I couldn't believe the cliffhanger and can't wait to get onto the next book!

(Also if anyone has read the trigger warnings and still wants to go into this book, if you haven't already I recommend reading Satan's affair the prequel first which is about the character Sybil, It made it an even more enjoyable reading when reading haunting adeline)
