Haunting Adeline

I'm not the target audience for this and I still liked it. I'm not bothered by most of the content of the book.

Loved the setting, wish I had that damn house.

Enjoyed most of the characters. One seemed out of place but that's a very small section of the book. Everyone mentions THAT scene and yeah, it's intense. Personally I enjoyed the last one better.

My hot take, the mmc is a bit too heroic in quality. He feels like an action hero stuck in a romance book.

Read Satan's Affair first.

Personally I think I'll like gigi's story best.

Tony baby, what the hell did you get me in to lol.

This book was absolutely amazing and very sexy.

The book is really good, but the characters are better than the writing. The book is incredibly hyped on TikTok and parts of the story absolutely deserve that love and attention, but the hype does set the bar pretty high and I think that there are definitely parts - specifically from his POV - that come off a bit... Wattpad. That being said, I did go and read the prequel Satan's Affair and the sequel Hunting Adeline. I also purchased the standalone Does It Hurt? and will be watching the author carefully for Sibby's story. Because while the writing can and does sometimes fall flat, the characters are INCREDIBLE and absolutely worthy of coming back for more.

4.5⭐️

I usually HATE romance books but this one? I couldn’t stop reading! It’s so unique and written with so much detail (at times a little unnecessary). I loved that there was multiple aspects to this story and we got the perspective of both main characters. If you choose this for your next read make sure you buy the sequel with it because you will want to read it immediately after. My only flaw is that I did predict the ending almost to a T. I don’t know that most people would’ve been able to do that however I feel that most romance books, movies, TV shoes, etc. are predictable. Don’t let my predictability stop you from picking this one up and giving it a try!

I just couldn’t get into it.

I'll be honest... I came for Adeline and Zade, but I stayed for GiGi. I heard about this book through BookTok, and all you hear is how spicy this book is. To which I can agree, the spice level is decent, but that didn't keep me interested, GiGi did. I love a good murder mystery, and Gigi's seemed right up my alley.

We have Adeline, who recently developed a stalker, one who makes his presence known often. He leaves rose petals all over her house to let her know he's been there. He watches her at night and doesn't even hide the fact that he is. If she has male company, he interrupts and then goes off and deals with the guy, but if you like that kind of thing, it's hot.

My main interest in the book came from the journals from the 40s that Adeline found. I love things like that. What I would give to have a journal from my grandparents or one of my ancestors, to take a peek into their lives for a moment. Let me tell you Gigi had a story to tell. She had a stalker with whom she eventually fell in love.

The journals span over the last two years of Gigi's life. The beginning stages she was full of trepidation, and yet intrigued by the mystery man who watched her outside her home. Eventually, the Renaldo grew bold. He would enter the house just to touch her whenever she was home alone. Unlike Adeline, Gigi never called the police or filed any reports. She eventually fell in love and started this two year affair. It all went down hill from there.

Adeline became obsessed with journals after discovering that she herself had a stalker. Once she found out that Gigi was murdered, she wanted to solve the mystery of who did and blame the stalker. Adeline was mixed feelings about her stalker, and she didn't want to believe her great-grandmother had actually fallen in love with someone who used to stalk her every move.

Personally, I never thought Renaldo, Gigi's stalker, did it. My money was on the husband, John, or his best friend, Frank.

I have seen so many mixed reviews. Yes, he forces himself on her. Yes, stalking is illegal, as well as breaking and entering. Yes, nothing about this book would be acceptable in the real world - but guess what, this is fiction. It's not real and meant to be for entertainment purposes. No one will judge you or assume you want this to happen in real life. It's a book. Let's get that deep into it.

On that note, the book ends in a cliff-hanger. I hate those.

Didn't like the topic or the writing style. Not for me

this books was everything. I still can't find any book like this

Okay maybe I'm desensitized but i realized how dark this series is recently but i don giv a fuk
