Haunting Adeline

The Manipulator

I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me.

I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh.

But my words don't affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave.

He's always there, watching and waiting.

And I can never look away.

Not when I want him to come closer.


The Shadow

I didn't mean to fall in love.

But now that I have, I can't stay away.

I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves.

The way she undresses...

I'll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine.

And once she is, I'll never let her go.

Not even when she begs me to.


While not required, it is highly suggested to read the novella, Satan's Affair, first.


Author's Note: This book ends on a cliffhanger. For CWs, please check the author's website.

Now I see the hype, and I’m so mad at myself for not starting this sooner.

Yes, the book deals with very heavy topics but H.D. Carlton does such an amazing job writing this story

Darkestes dark romance. Wenn ihr auf stalker-romance steht, ist das was für euch. Aber Band 2 ist hardcore und nix für schwache Nerven 😳

Plot is TRAUMATIC. Well written but plot has a LOT of triggers and is a read intense and hard read.

The parts that involved children (Zade’s occupation), were really hard for me to get through, but the rest of the book was just 🤌🏻 Zade Meadows is DADDY!!

The male character’s narcissistic ways was a no for me. I’ll pass on the overly traumatic love story.
