@@Moon__piieis it really? Care to elaborate, please? I have it set aside to purchase later today, I don’t know if I actually should. Is it worth it?

[@kristamarie4766]

I feel so seen. I wanted to like this book so badly but it was actually horrible to me. I think I like the way everyone depicted this book way more vs the actual book.

[@maya_m.152]

I feel this sm. Idk how people, especially so many, can like it and even ROMANTICISE it. I was so baffled and traumatised I couldn't even finish it.

[@Warners_Love]

I thought Zade was gonna be so terrifying when I saw what everyone said about this book but honestly he doesn't seem that bad to me, i really like him and addie

[@essietyler1021]

me personally, i just searched on spotify: reading music and it’s just basically instrumental music. for me, it helps get more into the world of the book im reading and drown out background noise that could distract me. but yea the playlists in books would definitely distract me

[@ll2323]

I do instrumentals too. Dark Noir ambient music goes so well with some of the scenes.

[@ChanelChapters]

When I heard about the gun scene it cemented my decision to NOT read it

[@OlivaHalimah]

OMG, Haunting Adeline is an intensely spicy read, so make sure you’re comfortable with its themes, as it delves into sex trade and has some very dark, dominating elements, something I personally enjoy if that’s your taste. The storyline is captivating, and I’m eagerly anticipating the rest of the series because I need to know what happens next! Haunting Adeline is edging close to being my favorite book of the year. For 2024, though, keep an eye out for Sex God: Uriel and Den of Vipers, they’re my top three picks!

[@KaitlynnWilliams-qc2lp]

This is my favorite book ever. I have read this 5 times. Love it so much the 2 one is so good too

[@ujfalusilacika5225]

I know it’s been a while since the video was uploaded but if anybody feels similarly, like they want to read dark romance but with actual romance, I would recommend the Born in Blood series. Especially the books about Luca and Aria. The theme is dark but there is actual romance and falling in love. I hope I could help somebody🥰

[@nuzha101]

Please read the ex hex it’s such a cute halloweeny romance and it’s pretty short and cute! I would love to see a reading vlog about it!!

[@alliestephenson]

I really want to read that in the fall!

If you haven’t read Twisted Love yet please do so!

[@mashaalmalghani5556]

I Could NOT agree more on everything she said !

[@filipa3311]

i'm really not a fan of smut either and honestly feel like it NEVER adds anything; loved the video as alwaaays

[@qoreantea]

This was me when I read Ice Planet Barbarians. 😃😭 i DNFed it after I read the 2nd chapter

[@jamimiller5993]

I can’t listen to music and read at the same time either. I love your videos.

[@saras.8418]

Respect your opinion. Right now there seems to be a huge trend of smut books blowing up...and I read horror. So when my kindle recommended this read to me...I was intrigued but there was just too much.... too much creamed in with a odd pacing. I felt alot could have been cut out.

[@sanssmithy8246]

@9:03 I actually love a good steamy spice scene on paper but also need a lot of plot to substantiate it ….books with zero plot and all smut seem pointless to me, just watch porn if that’s what someone wants 😂 I’m also here for the spooky haunted vibes in this book but the second half really dragged …I still gave it 4 stars and will read hunting mainly because I feel I have to now 😂

[@EulaTyche]

Well frankly speaking, dark romance is not similar to romance. Romance is a literal attraction but we forget the dark part here. And you kinda need to read part 2 to get the whole romance part together.

[@Sophias_booktube]

there two books in that series but why doese both of them look the same? does that mean they can be read as standalones?

[@alliestephenson]

I don’t think so, I haven’t read the second but I am pretty sure it is a continuation of book 1. Not quite sure why they look the same!

[@arapkz5454]

I just finished the first book ,I need a looooong break before I hit the second one 😢

[@lukelaw2880]

i love your videos! you should do a video of reading freida mcfadden!

Girly that ain't even the worst 💀 ive read book that are MUCH worse in EVERY possible way 😭

[@booksanddrafts]

Omg i 100% agree w what ur saying about smut😩

[@grim_reaper5372]

Idk if you will like this book, but since we shared the exact same opinion on Haunting Adeline, I feel that you might.....so what I wanted to say is, I suggest you read Aristotle and Dante Discover the secrets of the universe.

[@alliestephenson]

I’ve heard about that one, definitely adding to my tbr !! ☺️☺️

[@chocolatetuesday]

This book read like an unpolished, unedited first draft.

[@letxcia.022]

no not really for me, its one of my favorite book out of all books ive ever read ( ive read over 100 books )

this was genuinely one of the worst books i have ever read, if not the worst.

[@WhiteStripeLou]

I’ve just started this book and I find Adeline to just not be a nice person like I don’t get it the way she sees herself and her swearing every two minutes and the constant talking of if she was a slasher film I find her force for edginess to be annoying she’s very self centred and just annoying to me 😅

[@karenrusinque3370]

🤍🤍

[@karlenasanchez]

I just wanna know why people read a book that they already know they would not like? Like did you all read the trigger warnings ? You were ok with it and started reading it and then just suddenly hate the book for a thing that you already knew it would happen? I think you all need help actually not the people honestly liking it

[@alliestephenson]

@@karlenasanchez babe….i didn’t know he was going to penetrate her with a gun when I started the book. I also would rather try different things and get out of my comfort zone than stay in my own little bubble and read the same thing all the time!

[@karlenasanchez]

Gotcha 😅 it’s just that, I really cannot understand why people keep doing this, reading a book that they already get warned about. But it’s ok, I actually liked your video and love the duet. It’s ok if you didn’t like it. At least you were honest about it and conscious enough to understand that you put yourself in that situation

[@jamimiller5993]

I don’t like spice either!!!

[@melissatalcott4911]

I can't read books with no spice
