Reviews with content warning for Trafficking - Hunting Adeline

People may call me crazy for saying that I liked this book, but genuinely I did. Though the book is traumatic and had EXTREMELY triggering events I couldn’t put it down. Some of the parts were really hard to read but I needed to find out if Addie was okay and if Zade would find her. I think that what makes this book so good is the constant tension of “what is going to happen next.” Constantly wondering what will happen. You grow very closely to Addie in the beginning of the book and really see her growth. She becomes a survivor. She is a survivor. She’s constantly fighting. And you want to fight for her too. Though the traumatic events she endures have negatively changed her life she learns how to push through life because she is a fighter. Also you get to see the a side of her develop that is very similar to Zade, as well as watch their relationship grow too.

I enjoyed the first half of the book since it continues from the previous book. It was a little heavy but kept the story interesting. The second half felt…anticlimactic. It was good but fell a little flat. And the spice was too rough for me compared to the first book. But Zade was still daddy vibes!

Some things are better left unwritten. This book is one of those things.

Not as good as the first one, mainly because the plot twists all happen at the start of the book, leftover from the cliffhanger at the end of Haunting Adeline.

It's still well written though and there are some interesting plots introducing Adeline into Zade's world more but because so much happens at the start, the end felt almost anticlimactic.

I actually did get a little triggered by some of the content in this one because of my own PTSD but I did find the portrayal of it interesting in the book. I handle mine very differently to the main character so I can't be sure how accurately it portrays it, there were certainly familiar elements but a lot of differences.

It also introduced some additional stuff in the spicy scenes that I'm just not into. It doesn't phase me to read it and I certainly don't kink shame but it made those scenes less enjoyable for me personally.
