dark mysterious tense medium-paced

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!

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🫣
