The Diamond

Death walks alongside me,
But the reaper is no match for me.
I'm trapped in a world full of monsters dressed as men, and those who aren't as they seem.
They won't keep me forever.
I no longer recognize the person I've become,
And I'm fighting to find my way back to the beast who hunts me in the night.
They call me a diamond,
But they've only created an angel of death.

The Hunter

I was born a predator,
With ruthlessness ingrained in my bones.
When what's mine is stolen from me in the night,
Like a diamond hidden within a fortress,
I find that I can no longer contain the beast.
Blood will paint the ground as I tear apart this world to find her.
And bring her back to where she belongs.
No one will escape my wrath,
Especially not those who have betrayed me.

Hunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton is the second book in the Cat and Mouse duet and it is so much more darker and disturbing than the first book.  This dark romance novel is thrillingly dark and skillfully weaves together elements of suspense, love, and psychological depth. Carlton’s writing is both complicated and interesting, pulling readers into a story that is both interesting and makes them think.

Addie endures the absolute worst circumstances that would break anyone but she endures and Zade risks it all to find her.  Be forewarned that this is not the typical romance and covers topics that are so dark and border on traumatizing but I enjoyed reading the ending to Zade and Addie’s story.

What makes this book unique is Carlton’s skill at balancing the darker parts of the story with real human connection and mental growth. The story is carefully paced so that readers are always interested. Each turn of the plot builds up the tension and emotional connection. It skillfully explores the ideas of obsession and forgiveness, steering clear of tired tropes and instead giving us a new way to think about how complicated love and desire are.

Finally, Hunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton is a unique book that readers of both dark romances and psychological tales will enjoy. With Carlton’s skilled writing and an original and interesting story, this book is one that you will remember. This journey is both scary and exciting, and it solidifies H.D. Carlton’s reputation as a major author in this field.
