I started this book because wanted to read the cat and mouse duet however This book had me hooked and gripped from the page I wasn’t sure at first I thought it would be too gory for me but I loved it but it isn’t for the faint hearted. The smut is up there with the best smut I have read a 5 star read from me. 
Can’t wait to read the next books.

I DNFd Haunting Adeline but decided to give this author another chance. While this one still has its issues I was actually able to stomach this one without wanting to throw my Kindle across the room. Carlton does lean into the stigma of hallucinatory disorders being "the voices are telling me to kill you" and not entirely touching on less stereotypical cases of these disorders. But this was still a major step up morally than Haunting Adeline so it's in the middle for me on rating.

Don't usually rate novella 
It will be higher if not for the graphic sexual scenes

Wow! Just…yeah wow!

Okay this story was brought to my attention when I posted in a reading group I had started Haunting Adeline and I immediately ran to find this. 

At first I was unsure of the connection between this and Cat and Mouse duet till Satan’s Affair arrived in Seattle. This book while very dark and definitely the head trip at the end was amazing! I felt for Sibby and loved how morally grey she is. The short interaction with Zade was perfect. 

Highly recommend this if you’re reading or have read Haunting Adeline!
