Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton is a dark, twisted rollercoaster that’s equal parts creepy and addictive. Adeline Reilly, a gutsy author, moves into her late grandma’s gothic Parsons Manor in Seattle, hoping for a fresh start. But the place is haunted—not just by ghosts, but by her great-grandma Gigi’s unsolved murder and eerie journals that mirror Addie’s own life. Enter Zade Meadows, a dangerous, obsessive stalker who’s also a vigilante hacking human trafficking rings. He’s been watching Addie, leaving roses and creepy notes, and his “cat and mouse” game—think break-ins and intense, dub-con encounters—pushes her fear and desire to the edge. As Addie unravels Gigi’s killer with her friend Daya, Zade’s pursuit blurs into a warped romance that’s as hot as it is unsettling, ending on a brutal cliffhanger that’ll make you scream for Hunting Adeline. Fans love Zade’s unhinged devotion and Addie’s strength, but others slam the heavy triggers—rape, violence, and stalking are front and center—and call the 600-page plot bloated or the smut poorly executed. It’s a TikTok sensation, but it’s not for everyone.

Who Should Read It? This is for hardcore dark romance fans who love morally gray stalkers, enemies-to-lovers with extreme spice, or twisted thrillers with murder-mystery vibes. If you’re into Den of Vipers or Credence and can handle graphic triggers like non-con, trafficking, and gore, this might be your jam—check Carlton’s trigger warnings first, though, and maybe read the prequel Satan’s Affair for context. If you shy away from intense trauma or want a tighter story, skip it.
