Our take on the Haunting Adeline: Book 1 of 2: Cat and Mouse Duet (Paperback)

Haunting Adeline is the first book of H. D. Carlton's Cat and Mouse Duet, a dark suspense romance told in alternating voices: Adeline, a writer who can sway emotions, and Zade, the stalker who watches her. It became a BookTok sensation and a New York Times and USA Today bestseller. Readers drawn to dark, obsessive stalker romance with a cliffhanger ending are its core audience; those wanting a light or standalone read should look elsewhere. The author recommends reading the novella Satan's Affair first, though it is not required.
