My review of this bound beast!!
Hunting Adeline is dark, twisted, and completely addictive—I couldn’t put it down. H.D. Carlton has a way of pulling you into the shadows of her characters’ worlds and making you fall for them, even when you think you shouldn’t.
This second installment in the Cat and Mouse Duet dives deeper into Zade and Adeline’s story, and it’s even more intense, emotional, and haunting than Haunting Adeline. The way Carlton writes tension—both romantic and psychological—is absolutely gripping. Every chapter had my heart pounding, not just because of the plot twists, but because of how raw and real the emotions felt.
Adeline’s strength and resilience are unmatched. Watching her fight her demons and still find love in such a broken place was powerful. And Zade? Still dangerous, still obsessive, but somehow even more magnetic in this book. Their dynamic is toxic, tender, terrifying—and totally unforgettable.
If you love dark romance with heavy triggers, complex characters, and writing that doesn’t hold back, Hunting Adeline will wreck you in the best possible way. Just be prepared—this book doesn’t shy away from the darkness. But in that darkness, it finds something strangely beautiful.
