Haunting Adeline
by H.D. Carlton
DID NOT FINISH: 82%
You would think I'd dnf this because of the hypocritical stance Zade has towards women. Women shouldn't be leered at/touched/trafficked because of the way they dress, but he can do whatever he feels like with HIS woman (who isn't even his btw)?? No, somehow I made it past that, although that is a big enough reason to dnf. The reason I ended up dnf-ing it was because the writing was so indescribably bad, when I read the sentence "my tears burned my retinas" I couldn't take it anymore. I can read a lot of things, I have read a lot of things, but bad writing and non-consensual intimacy, I have learned, is simply not for me.
Graphic: Rape, Blood, Stalking
Moderate: Death, Murder, Gaslighting
This book is a romantization of rape and stalking. Nothing more, nothing less.
