Adeline's Hunt: A Cat and Mouse Duet

Tabby (Tantalizing Reviews): Massive Trigger Warnings in Hunting Adeline. Please read all the triggers before reading this book, even if you read Hunting Adeline, because they are huge.

I'll be completely honest, the first half of this book was difficult to get through. I read it in one day, but had to put it down for a few hours at a time because the storyline is very disturbing and dark. Hunting Adeline, is a story of the dark underbelly of the skin trade, where victims are held captive, tortured and so much more. Like I said, read the TRIGGER WARNINGS!

This book is suspenseful and very gruesome so if you don't like blood, guts, torture and overall gore then this book might not before you. If you are brave enough to continue, Welcome to the dark side. Hunting Adeline will have you glued to the pages, flipping just to find out what's going to happen next.

When I was finished with the book it took me quite a few days to be able to put into words of how to explain what I just read. I spoke to a few friends who hadn't read the series yet and just from how I explained my feelings for the series, they too started reading it. Turns out they are just demented as I am. LOL!

CarrieCarrie: “God, is this what being alive feels like? It can’t be death. I’d be at peace if it were. And I may have fallen for a stalker, but I’ll be damned if I didn’t land a spot within heaven’s gates.”
-Adeline

“When I make you cry out for God, does that count as praying?”
-Zade

“The world could fall to pieces around us, crumble to ashes as the cigarette did between our lips, and I wouldn’t notice.”
-Zade

“Heaven isn’t a place you go to when you die, it’s inside the person that’s worth dying for.”
-Zade

That was rough. The things that were in this one will haunt me for a while. No nightmares, but images will flicker in my mind here and there for a bit. That said, this was such a good story. Dark, sinister, and the marvelous.

So, Addie for me is better in this book. With the events and chaos, her fickle thoughts and behaviors fit better. Maybe that is why she was who she was in the first book. It was setting her up for this one.

Zade is so one of those people that scream “do as I say, not as I do.” It works for him. Would he be one that you want to take to Disney for a weekend? Oh lordy, no! Want to...

Elly: Very good books, also for the hot scenes but most for the great story. I am sad, it ends now.

A MASTERPIECE. You know that feeling when a book shatters your heart into pieces and then puts it back together after last page? That is me and Hunting Adeline. I have utmost respect and admiration for H.D. Carlton for putting out book like this. If we talk about how dark it is, imagine Haunting Adeline on steroids. It was even better than HA in my opinion but it's not gonna be book for everyone. Author clearly states in TW it's significantly darker than HA so please take that very seriously.

Nikita Navalkar: I put this before most next in series book reviews, but please expect some spoilers for the first book because you have no business being if you haven’t read that one

More on this later.

Did I say Haunting Adeline was dark? I’m sorry forget everything I said because Haunting was almost a romcom compared with Hunting. Okay lies, don’t forget everything I said. Sure Haunting was dark, but Hunting was black onyx to Haunting’s dark grey. (There’s gotta be a better way to abbreviate these books). Hunting Adeline is the kind of dark that makes you question everything about humanity, it makes your black little soul shrivel into itself until only a Zade can bring you back. Consequently my obsession was that much worse. Yes it was harrowing, but it’s also the kind of romance that evokes every feeling in you, that convinces you that soulmates do exist. Or at least makes you hope they do.

I’m telling you now, the triggers in this book are nasty; if you were triggered in book 1, this one is...

Shirley: Pesado e pouco, em vários momentos parei e pensei se queria continuar, e sim continuei por Adeline e por zade, de todas os livros que li entre kindlle e físicos, esse aqui com certeza e oq mas me chocou🥺.
Para avaliar uma obra como está temos que ir pelos méritos e o livro e perfeito, tem toda um trabalho sério tudo relativamente estudado e com qualidade.
Preferia ter parado no primeiro, mas porquê? Porquê Francesca e rocco não saem da minha mente.
Indico a obra mas saiba ela e muito boa mas também muito pesada, tem horas que dá vontade de chorar principalmente na primeira parte, queria dizer que com a morte de Francesca, rocco e Alex eu me senti mas leve, mas não, a morte deles só me mostrou que o que eles fizeram com addie deixaram marcas profundas e o quanto os abusos sofridos por ela a modificaram a addie leve e cheia de vida do primeiro livro se foi, só ficaram os cacos daquela addie, ela resolveu seguir em frente mesmo com tudo sendo uma bagunça e Zade sempre esteve ao seu lado na parte 2.
Em vários momentos na parte 1 me perguntei porque zade não encontrou logo, porquê ele indiretamente acabou permitido que ela fosse levada, eu queria...
