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.

It was really interesting to find out sibbys story, if you wonder no it’s not necessary to read this book before haunting Adeline because it’s doesn’t really give you that much information that you don’t already get in the Duett
