It always sounds like he saying poo-sea lmao Separately, I had an issue with the way the male voice actor said “pussy“. By the time she started falling in love with him, I already hated him, and saw no justification for the way he treated her.

He stalks her, rapes her, sexually assaults her, manipulates her and more. by the time Adeline started falling in love with Z, he had already done so much messed up stuff to her while thinking what he was doing, was justifiable, but at the same time, Z was disgusted by, and actively working to thwart pedophile, human traffickers, and rapists. The author tries to make you like the stalker even though everything he does is very similar if not the same to the exact people he’s supposed to be stopping. The book can be split up into three parts: 1, crazy stalker 2, learning more about crazy stalker, 3, falling in love with crazy stalker. Very “Twilight”-esque Plot with romanticized stalking It gets spooky and eerie at points which could give you some effed up dreams. This is not a book I'd recommend you read at night. I found her little journal entries to be riveting and the fact that Adaline had more going on than just her stalker made the character feel more rounded.

The murder of her great grandmother was such a cool addition to the plot. Some of the sexual content in this book was tough for me to read, I just don't think stalkers are sexy but Zade did grow on me as the book progressed but I still found the romance tough to swallow.

Not to mention the cliffhanger at the end which had me beside myself. I am rating this book 4 stars because the plot and story are very intriguing. I disagree with the sheer number of poor reviews on this book strictly due to the fact that the readers were unprepared for the disturbing and dark content. A lot of darker themes are tackled here and as a reader you need to be smart about knowing what you're walking into. This is a full on dark stalker romance with some murder mystery elements. And the trigger warnings need to be taken seriously. Okay so this book is definitely for mature adults. Haunting Adeline (The Cat and Mouse Duet, Book 1) by H.D.Seriously, check those TWs.
