who he is

zade meadows was never supposed to be a guy you fall for. he was supposed to be the thing in the dark.

and then h.d. carlton made you fall for him anyway. which says a lot about this book and possibly something about you.

zade doesn’t pursue. he doesn’t ask permission. he decided adeline was his and then he just… waited. watched. showed up. the kind of obsession that should have you running and somehow has you turning pages at 2am instead.

the fun keeps going...

save the books that introduced him, save the quotes that made you pause, and keep building your personal archive of fictional men with excellent emotional damage.
