Hailey Lefebvre’s Reviews > Haunting Adeline > Status Update

Great, so now there’s a secret society that’s actually running the government. How on God’s green earth is this the B plot?

Not loving how Addie’s hands and sex are described as “little” and “tiny” almost every time they’re mentioned, as well as her body overall. There was also a very strange moment where Zade called her “my little girl,” and THAT is a red flag and a fucking half. No, thank you.

Well, at least they’re calling it sexual assault now. Fucking yikes.

Jesus Christ.

“His head turns, his eyes widening as he catches a glimpse of my face with a single red rose in my mouth, the stem caught between my teeth.”
Gross! 😀

Not even fifty pages in and I’ve already made at least two disgusted faces. On the bright side, I enjoy the conversational tone the book has. I’m used traditional, formal diction, so this is a nice change of pace.

LET ME PREFACE THIS BY SAYING that I have absolutely no desire to read this book; The only reason I am is because of morbid curiosity. It can’t really be that bad, right?
