Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton was one of if not the hardest books I’ve ever read. This book is about Adeline a girl who is moving into her grandmother's old mansion, when she finds out about her great-grandmother and her death she becomes intrigued because not only did her great-grandmother have a stalker, but now Adeline has one too. She becomes intrigued by who her stalker is and what he wants. But there is something more sinister behind him, and she is both scared and thrilled to discover it.
I read this book because of BookTok. I was completely distraught reading this book. With BookTok you never know what you’re going to get. BookTok has given many authors the chance to have work that has been looked upon come to light. One of the biggest books is Haunting Adeline. I had high hopes for this book when I shouldn’t have. The writing while beautiful with such dark topics, didn’t fit the plot of the book. The plot is about falling in love with your stalker made me get sick, to the point that when I finished the book, I felt a sense of dread that the cliffhanger made me want to read the sequel, even with the book being so dark, I don’t want to read anymore. I don’t recommend this book to anyone, but honestly, if you like dark and twisted, this book is probably for you. I give this book three out of five stars just for the sole fact of how the author handled the writing of such dark topics.
