Haunting Adeline (Cat and Mouse Duet Book 1)

Product Information

A lot of darker themes are tackled here and as a reader you need to be smart about knowing what you're walking into. I probably would have been able to continue and give this a decent rating if it wasn’t for the TW// lack of consent, supposedly cnc mess.

HD’s writing will easily whisk you off to dark storms, haunted mansions, scary woods and places where shadows linger for a little too long. I don’t want to talk to much about it, because I’m incapable of telling stories without spoiling things, but I can tell you it was interesting and I was invested!

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.The sense of danger that permeates their relationship is heightened by the forbidden passion charged into Adeline's intimate moments with her stalker. It's just awful and genuinely takes away from the atmosphere the author should be trying to create in these types of books. But one of the hard limits is trying to excuse the behavior, and that's what this book does at every turn. The later sex scenes are a little better because she’s more “attracted” to him and apparently gets off on the fear like okay whatever woman.

There’s a parallel story where our dark knight is also a hero chasing pedophiles, witch, u know, is a good thing! I wanted to warm other potential readers of what to really expect, so they can make a educated decision to spend a credit on this book. The fmc's inner monologue also didn't help because she never said that she wanted it but that she wouldn't admit it and blah blah.Don’t even get me started on Adeline because she legit was just like “let me tease this guy who is stalking me and could probably kill me”.
