🔥 Spice Level: 5 / 5 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Extremely explicit. Sexual content is a major component of the book and includes BDSM/kink and scenes involving dubious consent and non-consent fantasies. This is firmly on the extreme end of dark romance rather than a conventional spicy romance.
⚠️ Content Note: Please check the author’s full trigger warnings before reading. This book contains extremely dark and potentially distressing material, including stalking, graphic violence, human trafficking, kidnapping, murder, guns, BDSM, dubious/non-consent sexual content, and other mature themes.
📖 Series Note: Book 1 of the Cat and Mouse Duet. It ends on a cliffhanger and continues directly in Hunting Adeline. The novella Satan’s Affair is connected to the series but isn’t required to begin Haunting Adeline.
