Very dark… addictive plot. I know it’s only supposed to be a novella but ends very abruptly just when it’s getting good! 

Onto Haunting Adeline we go!

alyssaaahopkinsss's review

I like reading books that are spicier and include dark characters, but this one was too much for me. I have never put down a book due to it being too dark but this one was just too weird to keep reading. The main character was not likeable for me in any way and while I once again have seen some really explicit content that has pushed the envelope this was a new level for me. I’m not saying you won’t like this book as this may be the kind of thriller, psychotic read that you are in to but for me it was just a no. It really depends what you are in to and your comfort zones. You get a pretty good idea going on what you are getting yourself into after just chapter 1 so try it if you think you would come to enjoy it.

This also has a harem as the main plot point and just overall has some pretty weird scenarios

Very VERY spicy. I read the cat and mouse duet before this but I’m finally happy to see into Sibbys life and past. Cant wait to read what happens to her after the end of hunting Adeline
