Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton

DID NOT FINISH: 30%

---

I didn't like the writing style. I felt like there were many contraditions within the characters that felt super unrealistic. They had no character- no consistency as a person. I also felt like the writing pulled me away from the story in many areas. The amount of times the main character admitted she was making stupid choices and said something alone the lines of "I briefly wonder what the horror movie they'll make about this will be named" or "i wonder what they'll say in the true crime documentary they'll make about my death" but then kept doing the thing anyway was way too high in the first 30%. Overall I know a lot of people love this book but it wasn't for me.
