The location of where Zade discovers Adeline’s in the second book can vary depending on the platform in which the book is published. In most cases, he finds her in the old pack territories in chapters 5-7. It was an amazing scene and the constant pursuing as well as the pack politics that try to keep everything from falling apart in “His Deadly Mate: Book 2 of The 'His' Series” were great as well.

Is he really finding her or is she allowing herself to be found? From what I can gather in Chapter 17 it seems like a mutual discovery rather than a rescue. The fact that she is at a clean water source and there is little to no effort to hide her is strange to me. I think she was waiting for him to find her, almost like she was testing him to see if he would figure it out.

Not really. You can read that anywhere. But if you are going to read it, take your time. There is a lot of good setup in there. This guy’s desperation in Chapter 15 is really sad, and then the false hope in Chapter 16 makes 17 that much better. It’s a journey, not a destination.

Note to listeners: Approximately 7 hours and 15 minutes into the Book 2 audio file. The narrator does a great job of finishing a sentence on a gritty/determined note, and then sliding straight into breathless panic in the space of just those few words. It makes the transition all the more powerful.

The second book in The Redter series continues the amazing story of Zade and Adeline. They find each other in Chapter 15, after Zade encounters many obstacles along the way. This chapter is extremely intense and follows the two main characters as they finally come face to face again. It shows a lot of progress in their relationship and highlights the challenges they have to face together. I loved this chapter, because I could see Zade’s determination to reach Adeline. The way their story is developing is perfect for people who love a redemption story, and Zade’s way of expressing his feelings for Adeline is extremely profound. His fears make the situation even more intense and show how difficult it must be for him to be in love with Adeline, despite her situation being as dire as it is. The chapter is also very hopeful, and at the same time it creates a lot of anxiety for the reader, because you really start to worry about the two main characters. Their growth as characters is really visible and it makes for a great turning point in the story. Overall, the chapter was really great and it gave me a lot of moments to think about the two main characters and their struggles. It’s a chapter that really resonates with me, because I know it’s not easy to fight for someone you love. But it’s also very exciting to read about someone who goes beyond his own limits to be with the person he loves. The book as a whole is a really great mix of romance, action, adventure and even some humor, and if you’re a fan of any of those genres, then this book is definitely for you. The way the author has constructed this chapter is amazing, because it really makes you feel like you’re right there with Zade and Adeline, while they’re fighting for their love. So trust me when I say that you won’t want to miss this chapter!

Yet the scar Jade left in the world hums with strange energy — something ancient, waiting.

Heather stands fiercely at her side, Melody searches for answers in the ruins of prophecy, and Collin tightens the defenses of every border.

what chapter is the gun scene in haunting adeline

7 Answers2025-08-02

A look at my copy, Chapter 13, ‘The Locked Drawer’ is the title of this scene. The title of this chapter is a beautiful example of misdirection. We expect a puzzle to be solved, a secret to be revealed. And we do find a secret. But not the kind of old historical secret we expected to find. No, the secret of the present danger is found to be living in the house with her. The "locked drawer" is the concealed intent of the antagonist. This has now been unlocked and is being pointed at the protagonist. The metaphorical wordplay in the chapter title is a quiet clue to the deeper meaning of this particular scene. It’s not just a ‘scary’ moment but also a revelation of the true, human, monster in the story.

What are the spicy chapters in Haunting Adeline?

7 Answers2026-04-17

This book needs a content warning, and I am referring to the ‘spicy’ chapters. Any list of the said chapters will be preceded by a disclaimer. The scenes depicted in those chapters contain elements of force, manipulation and blurring of lines between consent and no consent. This book will challenge you to a great extent and you will need to be able to make a distinction between reality and fantasy while also understanding that the author is only exploring a taboo and not advocating for a real life relationship of this nature. The spicy chapters are at the core of this ethical dilemma and therefore cannot be discussed without acknowledging the on-going debate surrounding the said topics.

Does Haunting Adeline Book 1 have different page versions?

1 Answers2026-07-28

I’m trying to find a physical copy of Haunting Adeline to add to my bookshelf and the page count seems to vary greatly between “versions”. Most copies of the original self-published paperback from 2021 seem to be around 384 pages. However, the book has since been picked up by a wider distribution deal and re-printed under new ISBNs. The formatting, margins and font size have all been tweaked slightly in some of the “new” prints which has resulted in some copies having as few as 380 pages or as many as 388 pages. The core story remains the same in all of these “versions”. It’s worth noting, however, that there is a special edition hardcover of Haunting Adeline that was released in 2023, which includes the author’s handwritten notes, additional scenes, and artwork. This edition is significantly longer than the paperback and truly is a different version of the book. I found a copy of this hardcover at a local bookstore, and it had a slightly different weight to the cover than my friend’s copy, although it had the same number of pages (his was a paperback). The page numbers between common print runs of Adeline and Zade are generally the same. I went to a local store and found the copy to be the same number of pages as my friend’s copy (even though the book covers felt slightly different in weight) – details for publication, etc. included on back of book and also on front of store packaging and, of course, ISBN. (I understand that ISBN and the exact page number may or may not be of importance to you.)

what page is the gun scene in haunting adeline

6 Answers2026-07-26

By the way, the gun in this scene is not as scary as the rest of the psychological manipulation afterwards to further isolate and control Adeline after the fact. Yes, the book actually gets even darker after this scene, but in a completely different and even more disturbing way. So, while you may be biting your nails for this scene at page 289, you can actually breathe a sigh of relief after it’s over. But, be forewarned, the threat of violence becomes a recurring undercurrent for the rest of the book, even when there is no physical gun present. In short, this scene opens up a whole new door of horror and that is why I mentioned this page number.

how does haunting adeline end

8 Answers2025-08-01

The music box gets wrapped up so nicely in this book. The very thing that filled us with so much terror at the hands of the stalker is now grasped by Adeline and turned into her own possession. And interestingly, she never gets rid of it. She chooses to keep it as a memory to work out with, as part of her story. And it’s not about erasing the memory of the stalker for her. It’s about owning it as part of her story. The little, quiet gesture is more powerful than any dramatic quote in the book. These subtle character moments amidst all the conclusion of the plot are what make the book’s ending work for me.

Where can I read 'Haunting Adeline' for free?

9 Answers2026-07-27

The amount of hype this book received had me expecting it to be a masterpiece. I read it through KU. The writing was good enough for me, the plot was interesting enough for me to keep reading like I would watch a really crappy TV show for, but it wasn’t life changing or anything. I think a lot of the drive to read this for free comes from a place of FOMO and people having really high expectations because of the genre (Gothic romance, etc.). If people read this thinking it’s going to be the second coming of Gothic romance they may be let down. However, if people read it with the understanding that it’s just a really dark, dramatic, pulpy page turner, then I think most people would enjoy it. And maybe that can help people gauge how much they want to read it and whether or not they’re willing to pay for it or wait for it. It’s just a really fun read, but not a literary masterpiece or anything.

what chapter does loid find out about yor

8 Answers2025-03-25

It’s also kind of reductionist to pin this to one chapter. The whole arc of good storytelling is progression. So, read Chapter 55 and then just keep reading through to Chapter 70. You’ll see the very gradual build up to this event, then the event itself, then the immediate after effects of the event on Lu. It’s a really great example of showing as opposed to telling. The whole thing is just a master class in storytelling. Reading the whole thing and feeling the rise in tension as it builds is the real answer to your question.

Who is the author of 'Haunting Adeline'?

8 Answers2025-05-29

H.D. Carlton. This woman’s name makes me think of so many things but mostly of the feelings she evokes in her readers. For so many, her name means “this book made me feel things I wasn’t prepared to feel” and that’s a pretty powerful legacy. Whether those feelings were good or bad is sort of beside the point. She made people feel things deeply. In an age of endless nearly indistinguishable-from-each-other content, it’s pretty cool to write a book that leaves an indelible mark. Some marks are scarlike, others thrilling. Carlton’s authorship of deeply affecting work is her defining characteristic and sets her apart in the contemporary literary conversation.

What part of Haunting Adeline contains the gun scene?

11 Answers2026-04-06

I would say the actual moment when the gun is pulled out is Chapter 26, but that scene begins reading about Chapter 23 or 24. The entire time the two main characters are in the cabin, the reader feels the tension building with every conversation. Carlton sets up the coziest cabin ever and then slowly reveals that it is a trap. Every glance between the two characters is loaded. The firelight that usually makes a cabin feel so warm and toasty now feels like interrogation lighting. The whole scene is a masterful use of slow-burn tension that reaches a sudden and very graphic climax. Finding the trigger for all of this is like reaching the peak of a very steep mountain. The release is sudden and brutal.
