Haunting Adeline (Cat and Mouse Duet Book 1) by H. D. Carlton Summary
H.D. Carlton is a widely recognized author renowned for her dark romance novels and the creation of the thriller "Haunting Adeline." She is known for crafting morally ambiguous characters that either provoke strong emotions or captivate readers.
"Haunting Adeline" is one of her most celebrated works, originally self-published in 2021. The book blends elements of psychological suspense, murder mystery, and dark romance alongside conventional romance, adding depth and intensity to its romantic aspects.
It serves as the inaugural installment in The Cat and Mouse Duet series, with the second book, "Hunting Adeline" (2022), and a prequel titled "Satan's Affair" (2021) also part of the series.
Initially, "Haunting Adeline" faced suspension on Amazon due to the inclusion of trigger warnings at the beginning of the book. However, it has since garnered significant popularity on social media platforms, especially on TikTok's BookTok.
Carlton's portrayals of sexual assault and explicit scenes of violence and sensuality have sparked criticism, but overall, "Haunting Adeline," "Satan's Affair," and "Hunting Adeline" remain highly popular works.
In "Haunting Adeline," the story revolves around Adeline Reilly, a young writer who relocates to her family's house in Washington state following her grandmother's passing. She becomes the target of Zade Meadows, the leader of an underground organization dedicated to combating human trafficking.
While Adeline initially tries to keep her distance from Zade, she unravels the mysteries surrounding her new home, Parsons Manor, and her great-grandmother Gigi's death, with the help of her friend Daya. The novel explores various themes, including the distinction between consent and arousal, which Adeline and Zade grapple with in the context of sexual assault cases.
It also delves into the moral complexities of character judgment, particularly concerning Zade's moral ambiguity, and the concept of performance as a tool for deception, involving both Zade and the criminals he pursues.
This guide is based on the second edition of H.D. Carlton's Kindle e-book, released in August 2021.
