Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton
DID NOT FINISH: 83%

Horrible writing, had severe headaches from rolling my eyes so hard over and over again. Unlikeable characters.
I was well aware of the CN and have read many dark books and fics before. This feels like fanfiction by an author who lacks (adult) experience in the real world and is trying to go for shock value but it’s always over the top. If this is what has gone through the editing process I shudder to think what the text looked like before.
Z is a stalker, murderer and rapist
…but his dick is so good and made Addie have the best orgasms she ever had in her entire life so she yearns to be raped again. Ugh.
And yes, he’s a stalker and a murderer
…but he only kills the really bad guys, so it’s ok. Ugh.
It goes on and on like this.
There are ways to write extremely spicy books. There are ways to write dub-con and non-con and treat it with the amount of care the topic deserves. This isn’t it.
