I absolutely loved this book. I feel like the author took what I like in a book and a boyfriend and put it in this book. Haunting Adeline follows Addie, an author, who moves into her grandmother's house that she has inherited. While remodeling and cleaning her house, she finds her grandmother's journal and discovers a mystery. But in the background, she doesn't realize she has a stalker.

I was so excited and curious about this book because I see it everywhere! It did not disappoint.
I will say that it is a slow burn at first and this almost put me off because I was not expecting it.
It is the perfect combination of creepy and sexy. It took me 45% of the book to buy into the idea. I was conflicted, as Addie is, of Zade. I did not understand how you can marry someone who is so evil and does good deeds at the same time, but I ended up really liking his character.

The story gets extremely dull in the seco ...more

I read this book because it was on booktok on TikTok and I was just very intrigued because every single review I saw if it was good this book is so captivating and it’s definitely one that you can’t put down. Definitely recommend people to read it.

Holy shit balls was this book addicting. When I say I was biting my lip off reading this and literally screaming at Zade and Addie I mean it 100%. Like I hated Zade then loved him. Addie is my bitch. Also love the little crime solving plot with Daya and Addie; it’s giving Bailey Sarian. That cliff hanger though. I’m done.
