Maybe just not for me, but in my opinion this was way beyond messed up and the male main interest's "punishment" is borderline, if not absolutely, SA

👀Tropes: Dark Romance (really dark) with stalking, sex with interesting objects, slow(ish) burn set in a dual POV

☠️CW: Just... Copy/Paste from author website - This book ends on a cliffhanger. It is a dark romance that contains graphic violence, dub/non con and stalking between main characters, explicit sexual situations, kinks such as degradation, gun play, and somnophilia, and deals with subject matters such as child trafficking, child deaths, and human sacrifice.

📚Read Method: Physical book, Kindle eBook, Audible

📕Review: Daily. I think about this series daily. First read March of 2023, I don't think there has been a day since that I haven't thought about Zade and Addie. My second read is of Michelle and Teddy reading it to me, and it's even better than I ever thought. The panty dropping spicy scenes has me observing every word, questioning my sanity through every sentence. Repeating over and over, 'Zade is fictional, Zade is fictional'. In real life? No I don't want a stalker that doesn't listen to my wishes of not being touched. In books? You can scare me with any weapon you want and my legs will weep for you. I have explored new things in my personal life because of Zade and Addie, and it opened up a new genre of books for me, which I have enjoyed more and more. 

Now, I love Haunting Adeline, but I think the real growth, the biggest emotions, and the highest high comes from the FUCKING CLIFFHANGER that leads into the second book [book:Hunting Adeline|59050133]. I will never ever forgive [author:H.D. Carlton|18239774] for this heartbreak turned pridefulness and delight at Zade and Addie's relationship and story. (Trying to stay spoiler free)

💖Quotes:
"I'm going to make her fall in love with every single fucked up part of me. I want this girl to see me at my most depraved. I want her to experience the true darkness residing in my soul. When you make someone fall in love with the darkest parts of you, there's nothing you can do that will scare them away. They will be yours forever because they already love all the fucked up bits and pieces of you."
