funny informative lighthearted reflective fast-paced

4.0

I have two cats and one dog. Will my cats eat my eyeballs after I die? Apparently the answer is "yes" 🥲 But only after a couple of days when they're angry the food bowl hasn't been filled.
Will my dog eat me after I die? Also yes lmao. But, apparently, it's not because their food bowl is empty. It's because they're trying to wake you up and the dog is anxious and tense because sometimes had happend to her human 🥺 Poor doggo 💔

This is a fun and light read and I recommend it if you're a curious person.

This book had so much potential and I had such high hopes for it. I was, unfortunately, deeply disappointed. 

There is no character building and the characters has no depth. Nothing gets explained. 
There is no romance (author has said this book's not a dark romance (although the author says it's a dark romance/dark fiction in the foreword), but dark fiction - and that is ok. But there is still NO romance even at the end 😂). There is no love (between mum/daughter) or any other character.



**Some spoilers below**
Absolutely nothing get explained. Why did Leni loose all her friends? Why did Piper turn her back at her? Leni is suppose to be an (almost) Olympic gymnastic. Where are her team? Doesn't the team have insurance when something happens to their members? This is sat in USA, so probably not? Idk, I find it weird.
Why didn't Leni's grandmother check up on her after the call abruptly ended?

Half the book is also pure SA. That's usually not a problem, but it falls flat and mostly for shock value.

Very boring and Incredible disappointing.
I've had Lorenzo on my tbr a looong time and said to myself I really had to be in the mood for such a sad read. Lol. That was a mistake.
It has like one sad sentence in the whole book. I can't even remember the names of the characters 4 days after finishing the book.

This may be the darkest book I've ever read. It may beat "Life Of Anna". I absolutely loved it!

It is interestingly written; it's written in first POV for the FMC and third POV for the MMC. I find it refreshing!

I really, really feel for Olivia, I mean Kitten. I can't wait to dive right into book #2.

Read the TW if you have any.

Boring and it dragged on and on. There is smut on every other page, it's actually too much imo.

If you have ANY triggers you need to read the TW, because I am BAFFLED reading some of the reviews of this book. Some don't understand that TW have to be read if you have any. This book was said to be DARK from the beginning, and somehow people don't get it and dnf and give a bad review. DON'T PICK UP A PITCH BLACK DARK ROMANCE WITH HEAVY TRIGGER WARNINGS IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE IT. It's okay to dnf a book. It's also okay to dnf a book and give it a bad review. But to give a bad review because it was "too dark" is wild. Just dnf and move on with your life.

And the kink shaming in many of the reviews is disgusting. People like different thing. There is nothing wrong about what Adeline liked.

Anyways.

If you're going to write about the Illuminati Lite you should probably team up with Dan Brown. This book was a liiiittle too far out there for me, and I'm not taking about the first part of the book. I am talking about "The Society". 
The Mindf*ck-series does revenge-scenes much better than Hunting Adeline, but it was still satisfying-ish. 

Is this a must read? No. I am glad I read them? Sure. But it's a book-series that is extremely over-hyped.
