He becomes obsessed with her to the point where he breaks into her house, drinks her whiskey, and leaves behind roses. Zade, also known as Z, starts stalking Addie after seeing her picture displayed outside a bookstore while he’s in the middle of an investigation into a human trafficking ring. Something that Addie starts to experience herself following a book signing for her latest novel. This, however, sparks Addie’s curiosity about discovering what happened to her great-grandmother, Gigi, especially after she discovers Gigi’s journals that reveal she was being stalked. Something she was unaware of until later when her mother revealed that detail while trying to convince Addie to tear down the place. Haunting Adeline starts out with Addie (Adeline) moving into her grandmother’s house, which many believe to be haunted due to the fact that multiple individuals have died there, including her great-grandmother. Thoughts on the Cat and Mouse Duet (Spoilers) I find that I can no longer contain the beast.īlood will paint the ground as I tear apart this world to find her.Įspecially not those who have betrayed me. When what’s mine is stolen from me in the night, I no longer recognize the person I’ve become,Īnd I’m fighting to find my way back to the beast who hunts me in the night.īut they’ve only created an angel of death. I’m trapped in a world full of monsters dressed as men, and those who aren’t as they seem. There were moments I thought it was a bit too much especially when it came to the relationship between the main characters.

So, if any of that you don’t vibe with, don’t read this duet. And we get to be up close and personal with it. Neither of the main characters are individuals involved in the trafficking (as in doing those things to children and women), but they are involved in the sense that one hunts and takes down those rings. Without giving too many spoilers, there’s child trafficking, sex trafficking, sexual assault, rape, murder, stalking, torture, death of children, grooming, non-consensual BDSM, and BDSM (knife play, blood play, degradation, somnophilia). This duet is categorized under the occult suspense and horror genre. These are also not classified as romance, which I thought was surprising considering I learned of these books from individuals on TikTok that normally only suggest romance books. The names of the two books in the series are Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline. Carlton was not something I was fully prepared for. Or books that explore dark topics like murder, torture, etc.

I’ve read a fair amount of dark romance books in the past, so I’m not unfamiliar with darker tones. These help support the blog, so I can keep creating content. This post may contain affiliate or referral codes, for which I receive a small compensation and you get a discount in exchange.
