This was not as "bad" a book as I thought it was going to be based on most of the reviews I had seen. There is in fact a plot, yes there was a lot of smut, but there was a story behind it and a mystery that kept me at the edge of my seat. Looking forward to the next one based on the massive cliffhanger and the rave reviews of book two. As long as you are ok with the trigger warnings, this is actually a good book.

Approaching Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton, I braced myself for disappointment, fully aware of its controversial themes and expecting it not to be my cup of tea. However, much to my surprise, I found myself thoroughly captivated by the story and its characters. Despite my reservations, the book managed to win me over with its compelling narrative and intricate character dynamics.

One element I could have done without was the gun sex scene near the beginning. It felt unnecessarily provocative and bordered on excessive for my tastes, marking the only moment in the book that I found jarring. Yet, this was a minor blip in an otherwise enthralling experience.

The characters in Haunting Adeline are crafted with a depth and authenticity that truly stand out. The dynamic that forms between the main characters is both effortless and powerful, driven by a well-constructed dialogue and palpable chemistry. It’s this strong character interaction that forms the backbone of the story, making their evolving relationships both believable and deeply engaging.

Overall, Haunting Adeline surprised me in the best possible way. It’s a testament to H.D. Carlton’s skill as a storyteller that she could take a theme I was ready to dislike and turn it into a narrative that I not only enjoyed but loved. For those willing to venture beyond a bit of initial discomfort, this book offers a richly woven tale that is both provocative and rewarding.

Very dark but couldn't put it down. The cliffhanger had me rushing for the next book
