Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton
2.0

Well.. this book.
I don't know where to start.

Overall it wasn't completely awful because I didn't DNF it. I guess it just wasn't for me.
SpoilerI am not at all a fan of rape fantasies / actual rape and the fact that he saves little girls from disgusting men / the government doesn't really give him more points in the book boyfriend department.
Even if I take into consideration that she does like the "Cat and Mouse" play that they do towards the end of the book (excluding the fact that it could also be severe stockholm syndrome), he did rape her with a gun.. I mean come on with a gun?


It was well written and I also liked her dynamics with her best friend. It was generally easy to follow what was going on and it was fun to explore something that is completely out of the zone of genres I usually read.

But now I will go back to my cute romance books with consent, found family &
Spoilerdefinitely no mmc who rape anyone with a gun
(still can't believe that happened)
