July 8, 2025A haunting, high-stakes sequel that delivers.
Adeline picks up exactly where Louise left me—wrecked, intrigued, and desperate for answers. Megan Eik doesn’t just continue the story—she deepens it. Louise may have changed her name, but the past has claws, and it doesn’t let go.
This book is quieter in some ways, but that tension simmers just beneath the surface. I loved watching Adeline try to live a “normal” life while knowing any moment could unravel it all. The character work is stunning—raw, flawed, and honest—and the themes of reinvention, paranoia, and survival are powerful.
By the end, I was completely unsteady—in the best way. If Louise broke me open, Adeline stitched me up with barbed wire.
Highly recommend for anyone who loves intelligent thrillers with grit, emotion, and a sense of slow-burning danger.

After reading Louise, I had to know what happened next—and Adeline did not disappoint. It’s slower in pace but tenser in every way. Adeline’s quiet life is always on the verge of collapse, and watching her try to hold it all together was heartbreaking and terrifying.
There’s something so compelling about a character trying to outrun her past, especially when it’s unclear if she deserves to. Megan Eik explores motherhood, identity, and redemption with nuance and edge.
By the last chapter, I didn’t know whether to cry or applaud. Highly recommend.
