This is a very dark book. I wouldn’t read unless you’re in a good headspace. It’s also very spicy so be prepared for a mix of that throughout.

Masterpiece. I fell in love with this series instantly after reading satans affair and I can now say I’m obsessed after reading Haunting. The characters are perfect, the story is so good and twisted and it’s super spicy! I immediately started hunting! I need more!
