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.
This was me during the whole book...
I was going to refer to the post for Haunting Adeline and realized I didn't have one. But can you blame me? I didn't have the correct words for what I read in the first book... I'm in the same situation with the second one. But I need more posts in here so...
If you are a fan of Dark Romance, Haunting and Hunting Adeline takes this genre to another level of Dark. I hate the title of the characters in every chapter. Was so hard to just put the original names? cause I didn't find it interesting or funny if the author was thinking in that.
In Hauntin Adeline, Adie is known as the manipulator, just cause she is an author and manipulates people's feelings when they read her books.
Zade is known as the shadow
but he should be called the stalker. Or why not just call them Cat and Mouse like the name of this duology 😭 and that goes for worse in the second book. Now, in Hunting Adeline, Addie is known as The Diamond and Zade The Hunter.
Do you get it?
I will not go into exact details about scenes in the books cause I end up traumatized, and not in a good way like almost every person that read this book. But I need to take this out of my system...
Zade is pictured as a superhero for the type of work he had, and when he says Addie for the very first time, he gets obsessed with her. He wants her to fall in love with him but in his mind, he thinks Addie needs to fall in love first with the darkest version of him.... so he does to Addie the same shit that the villains in his world do to the women he saves.
WHAT IN THE WORLD?
It just doesn't make sense at all. Not if you are not Delulu...
Anyways, the stalking shit escalates in every chapter, and not just that but, Addie's stupidity too. I can't stand her. Was painful, I thought I was gonna die from a heart attack from all the angry feelings I was having.
The worst part of all is that my ADHD didn't let me end this torture here... I had to listen to the audiobook cause I don't like to leave things unfinished. And it was worse than reading it. I listened to it the morning the girls were at school hours and when they got home I had to put my headphones on.
Hunting Adeline was way more painful than the first book, but not because of the story or the characters, at least not all. But cause the subject is a reality. A reality that sometimes doesn't let me sleep.
The thought of losing one of my babies and imagining all the horrible things that can happen to them is something that hunts me most of the time because of my anxiety, but other than that, the story didn't do any for me or got better.
Not to mention that if you look in Pinterest for fanart of Zade, all of them are pics of this sexy hot kinda guy that could be a God.... my brain won't let me imagine Zade like that
Why? I'm not sure why. But this is where my mind goes every time someone says his name. but as I have mentioned, there's something for everyone, that's what makes this world interesting.
So if you think you can handle The Cat and Mouse Duo, I invite you to dive into Addie and Zade World.
Write you soon, see ya!
