This is my top read this year and it beats anything I read last year as well.
This book is dark, twisted and sometimes sick. It is absolutely wonderful. I had to stop myself from reading this in 2 days because the second book is still in the post.
I'm obsessed (😏) with Calton's writing style and storytelling ability. I didn't think it was possible for me to fall in love with a stalker that does.. unspeakable things. But here I am, ready to be hurt again.
I will never understand the need for 1 starring a book that is not for me. If the TWs make you uncomfortable, it's so strange to then read it and rate it as a bad book. Some of the content was disturbing and sick, but I knew what I was getting into. Pay attention to the content warning and proceed with caution.
That said, I am so excited to read Hunting Adeline even though I KNOW crap is about to go down and I'll cry. I'm so emotionally invested in this twisted love story.
*Just because I enjoy this book and like Zade despite the content, in no way means I would accept this behaviour in real life. Cough. Let people enjoy fictional stories.*

HEAVY ON THE TRIGGERS. Listen I’m not one to really be affected by the triggers, like I don’t really care, but this… oh it had me wanting to throw up ngl. Also it came in the bag packaging not a box right after it rained outside so I was a little worried but she made it.

I put off reading this for months because of how dark it was meant to be after reading numerous reviews. To anyone who is going to read this for the first time, yes, it is dark, so do NOT ignore the trigger warnings, but go into it blind. I wish I had. Do not read any other reviews.
This book has everything going for it. It has an unsolved murder, suspense, it’s a thriller and of course it has your dark romance.
Addie has inherited her family home, Parsons Manor, from her grandmother. Addy finds her great grandmother’s diaries. These reveal she had a stalker that she met and fell in love with, but also reveal she became very frightened for her life. Is it her husband or her lover who she is threatened by.
Zade sees Addie at one of her book signings and becomes Immediately, extremely addicted to her.
Zade is smart and we find there is so much more to him than meets the eye. He is a hacker and vigilante trying to bring down as many child/sex trafficking rings as he can. He may be a stalker but you can’t help fall in love with his character right from the very beginning.
QUOTES
“My little unsuspecting mouse, living each life without knowledge of what’s to come. Not knowing that I’m yearning for you, watching in the distance until I make myself known. For centuries, both of us wearing different faces, inhabiting different bodies. But the same souls, colliding over and over, until this planet decides to crumble and our souls have nowhere else to go.”
“My mother. Her favourite flowers were roses. She always had them all over the house with the thorns clipped so I wouldn’t hurt myself. One year, I told her that I would be sad when she died because all the roses would die with her. So, she gave me a plastic rose and said that as long as I have that rose, she would never truly be gone. I guess I wanted to see roses all over your house, too. Maybe because you feel like home”.
I can safely say this is one of my top 10 reads this year. I love books, but its rare I find one where I immediately want to read it again, never mind start book 2.

Adeline has moved into her great-grandmother Gigi’s home and home to her late grandmother Serafina. The family home is haunted by the unsolved murder of Adeline’s great-Grandmother Gigi, when renovating the family home Adeline comes to find Gigi’s hidden diary. The diary reveals that Gigi had a stalker whom she fell in love with. The answers to her murder maybe hidden in the pages of her diary. Adeline is desperate to find out what happened to Gigi all them years ago, and shockingly similar is that Adeline is plagued with her own stalker hiding in the shadows.
Another character is Zade the ring leader of a vigilante group who are on a mission to bring down pedophile and human sex trafficking rings. Zade is no stranger to danger, risks his life to save children and young women from evil and help return them to safety. On his mission to rid the world of evil he stumbles across a bookshop hosting a meet and greet book signing, when Zade’s eyes fall on Adeline, he’s thrown by her beauty instantly and is determined to make her his own.
This book has a lot of different elements to it and although it is very dark on times it was gripping from start to finish, and unlike anything I’ve read before.
It’s a murder mystery, dark romance, haunted house and has a dark tone all in one. I loved this book, the writing style and Adeline and Zade were for me both very likeable characters. The story in my opinion was set out really well. I’d recommend reading Satans affair before reading this as there’s a great crossover.
Also something to keep in mind if you are a person who does not like cliffhangers, I would hold off from reading this book until the second book is available.
I just hope the wait for the second book isn’t to long!
