Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton
5.0
So fair warning, this is intense. This book is VERY dark and it is very important that you read the trigger warnings associated with this book. That being said, wow, what a roller coaster ride.
This is the type of book you read when you want to suspend reality and truly explore darker fantasies. We meet our main female character who lives alone in a big house left to her by a deceased family member. She's this smart book author, beautiful and kind of a spit fire. We meet our main male character, dark, broody and handsome, pretty early on and he stalks our MFC....like it's his job and his life depends on it. All the red flags are flying as she interacts with our man Zade, but as any good MFC does, she ignores them all. She's hot and cold for him and he's only hot for her. They have MANY moments of dubious consent, sub/dom action, explicit intimate scenes. However, the chemistry between the two characters is out of this world and I have to give it to the author because there are some books I've read that the chemistry just feels forced. That is NOT the case with these characters. I'm surprised the book didn't burst into flames at some point from the spark between the characters or my own body temperature reading this book. Our characters try to find their rhythm through trial and error, threats, chase(yes there are chase scenes and they are *chefs kiss*), and random body parts delivered at doors (seriously, told you to buckle up!). This does leave on a cliffhanger just FYI. This book is just sinfully delicious.
If you enjoy darker fantasies this is the book for you. This is NOT a feel good romance book, this is gritty, harsh and beautiful all at the same time. And I must say once again, seriously.....read the trigger warnings.
