A review by orangeaiya
Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.5

Dark dark dark read. Would suggest anyone reading pay attention to each trigger warning in the opening pages because they are explicitly mentioned and detailed in the book. There were some parts where I rooted for Z and some where I wanted him to hurt. All in all, my full attention was captured by this book. (Largely an unhealthy relationship but the plot was interesting)
