Ah Sibby…
She is completely unhinged and we have an explanation.

- halloween 
- masked men
- FMC serial killer 
- gore (lots of details)
- Zade introduced (Haunting Adaline)
- spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

The audiobook is great. Michelle Sparks did an amazing wook to impersonate Sibil.

Please check the TW because this one is HEAVY.

"Satan's Affair" by H.D. Carlton is a riveting continuation of the story explored in "Haunting Adeline" and "Hunting Adeline." Reading this novel in tandem with its counterparts provides a rich and comprehensive experience, offering a deeper understanding of the enigmatic character, Sibby. The narrative delves into the darkness within Sibby's character, compellingly unraveling her complexities. H.D. Carlton skillfully weaves together a tale that not only sustains the intrigue from the previous books but also adds new layers to the narrative. The interconnectedness of the novels enhances the reader's appreciation for the depth and evolution of Sibby's character, making "Satan's Affair" a must-read for those enthralled by the dark and mysterious elements introduced in the series.
