this book belongs becauseโ€ฆ

the book that sold me on stalker romances.

verdict

look, i understand why this book became such a phenomenon. it's weird. it's dark. it's the kind of book that has you texting your friends "what am i actually reading right now?" every few chapters. personally, i enjoyed this one far more than book two. hunting adeline was almost a little too much for me at times, but haunting adeline hit that sweet spot of creepy, obsessive, and addictive that kept me turning pages long past when i should've gone to bed.

vibe

ah yes. haunting adeline.
the book responsible for introducing approximately half of booktok to stalker romance.
this book is dark, obsessive, creepy, and completely unhinged in ways that somehow became mainstream. she lives alone in a gothic house. he's watching her. constantly. and while most people would call the police, this is dark romance, so things go in a very different direction.

reader fit

read this if

you're dark romance curious and want to understand what everyone was losing their minds over. if you like obsessive men, stalking, morally black love interests, and books that make you question your own standards, this is probably already on your tbr.

skip this if

stalker romance isn't your thing. this isn't one of those books where the hero is secretly a cinnamon roll wearing black. he's obsessive from page one, and the story never pretends otherwise.

content warnings

please check trigger warnings before reading. stalking, violence, graphic sexual content, murder, gun play, and numerous dark themes are present throughout the story.

standalone + hea

book one of a duet. it ends on a cliffhanger so you'll need hunting adeline to finish the story.
