Haunting Adeline

By H.D. Carlton

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.

Still processing this book days later. I have a lot of feelings. Firstly, the plot was hugely contradictory. A man who saves women from sex trafficking who also is actively stalking & raping a woman? Make it make sense. Also, the disclaimer in the beginning says that the book has nothing to do with QAnon, however the entire story is based off of one of their conspiracies. The author also introduced a ghost subplot but then… never did anything with it. The best part of this book was the side story of the murder mystery the main character was trying to solve with her friend. Overall though, I was hooked on the story and I’ll definitely read book 2. But I wasn’t very impressed.
