Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton
1.0
challenging dark emotional tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Basically a glorification of stalking, sexual assault and rape. Furthermore the main character is annoyingly stupid (like who tf stays alone in a creepy house far from civilization if you're getting stalked?) and the stalker is a hypocrite (I mean, he's the leader of an organisation that's saving girls from sex trafficing but at the same time he's tormenting and raping another girl, just because he's obsessed with her?)...
Generally, I can deal with stalking, sexual assaut etc. in a book, however, romanticizing that? Absolutely not!
