A review by linara4522
Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton

1.0

this did not make me laugh.
I repeat.
This. Did. Not. Make. Me. Laugh.
WTF did i even read? It's straight up a Wattpad book published without any supervision or forethought. People who find the relationship in this book sane and (dare i say) romantic, should be immediately admitted to a mental institute. The things Zade would do to Addeline were fucked up.
Addie developed Stockholm Syndrome. Zade got the obedient girl he wanted, by stalking, breaking and entering, gaslighting, forcing himself on her (aka raping her), and breaking her mentally.
I wish I hadn't taken this book up at all. I'm now afraid of what people are romanticising. This isn't dark romance, this is romanticised abuse.
