Romans & histoires Books Similar To Haunting Adeline

MATTEO The soft hum of the ceiling fan was the only sound in my office. The room smelled of old whiskey and leather—familiar, yet suffocating tonight. My hands were clasped together under my chin as I stared at nothing. Thinking. Always thinking. Emily Thompson was still alive. I didn’t need proof, I could feel it. People like her don’t just vanish into smoke, they hide, and they run. But I won't stop chasing. The loud sound of a knock on the door dragged me out of my thoughts. I glared at Dominic as he walked his way towards my desk, looking like he had just handled two brutal cases in less than thirty minutes.

Edward handled most of them while I restocked shelves and learned the layout. Around two, a woman came in looking for a specific dark romance. "Do you have anything like Butcher & Blackbird?" she asked. "I just finished it and I need something similar." Edward looked at me. "Maliya?" I stepped forward. "Have you read Haunting Adeline? Or the Broken Bride series? They've got similar dark romance vibes with morally gray love interests." Her face lit up. "I haven't read either of those. Where are they?" I led her to the romance section, pulled both books, gave her quick summaries.

My hand was tracing the title. ‘Lilith, grab the book and run quick’ Irene shouted in my head and wasting no time I tightened my grip on it and took it out of the shelf, attaching it to my chest as if it was something precious to me. But the moment I pulled the book, a hand appeared in front of my eyes, long nails, skin cling to the bones, no muscle, big dark spots on hand make them look ugly but scary too. ‘Adrian run out of the library, I found the book’ I shouted from the depth of my lungs and ran towards the door but it got closed by its own.

Chapter 1: Run "Run. If I catch you, I’ll fuck you." I closed my book and hugged it close to my chest, kicking my feet up in the air as I screamed. Oh God, to be Adeline right now, chased, Caught and wanted that badly. My blanket hung forgotten by my bed stand, my crop top riding up as I sprawled across my bed in nothing but my underwear. I couldn't care less about my dignity. I was home, in my room, alone, with only Haunting Adeline for company.

Finally, she found the one she was looking for. Layla managed to grab the book and add it to her stack in her arms when her eyes caught sight of something. A book stood out among the rest. It was bound with dark brown leather and had brandished designs on the spine. The title read - Malleus Vampiro: A Treatise on Vampires. Placing her other books on the floor, Layla pulled the leather-bound book from its home amongst the others and opened it. As her eyes skimmed the pages, she caught a couple of words; SHADOW STALKERS, BLOODSUCKER, PHANTOMS.

They had come to this library several times, but let alone found something; they hadn't even managed to check all the bookshelves. "Adro!" Grace called. Her eyes were still focused on a book with an old leather cover. Turning at the half-whispered call, Adro quickly approached Grace, who stood at the end of the bookshelf aisle. "Did you find something?" Grace nodded. "This book seems suspicious. We should check it out," she pointed to the page she had opened. After studying the page for a moment, Adro nodded with his jaws clenched. "You're right. This is a book discussing witchcraft and magic, and it feels more familiar compared to other books on witches in this library."

“No doubt.” “What about those two small FedEx boxes?” “Most recent novels from Samhain Horror.” “Awesome. Those books I bought at the Webb County Library sale last week?” “Sorted into general and mystery fiction. Struck the mother lode with all those Mary Higgins Clark novels.” “We cater to all tastes, miss. Unless you like Twilight, 50 Shades of Gray or James Patterson. Folks want drivel, they can drive to Utica.” “Hey. I actually liked Twilight. It wasn’t all bad.”

The day I had lost my Adeline. The maidens flocking around her room, the endless chatter and buzzing, which slowly faded into a deafening silence. The sound of her soul leaving her body… All of it had haunted me, reminding me of one of my greatest losses. The fear of reliving that nightmare was enough to wreck me.

I smiled and declared, "Let the game of hide and seek begin." Through the cameras, we watched as Shadow frantically searched the dorm, muttering to herself, "Where? Where is she?" While Shadow was tearing the place apart looking for me, Celeste and I were already out of the school, having been picked up by Helena and taken to her luxurious mansion. The three of us sprawled out on a sofa larger than most beds, sipping champagne and enjoying delicious desserts made by a personal chef. Back at the dorm, Shadow was seething with rage, while in Helena's mansion, Howard was in tears, groveling while begging for forgiveness. But Helena just spat coldly, "It's over between us. Stop bothering me and

It smelt of old papers, and I couldn't help but inhale the scent. Dark wooden tables with cushioned seats were arranged in the library. Keeping my head down, I check the corner in case there are cameras lurking in here. I didn’t notice any blinking, but that didn't put me at ease. The Auder's mansion has this eerie quality. I was on high alert all the time. I only let go when Carlo was around; maybe that was a mistake too. I pulled out a paperback about the light in the mind. It was my first time hearing about it. It’s written by J.E. Hampton. Never heard about him or her.
