Forced into constant proximity, the princess and her protector slide from wary friction into a romance that neither royal protocol nor his professional code permits.

Instead she finds a house full of secrets — a long-unsolved family disappearance — and the unsettling sense that she is never truly alone. Someone is watching her.\n\nThat someone is Zade Meadows, a masked vigilante who runs an underground operation targeting human traffickers, and who has become dangerously obsessed with Adeline. As Adeline unravels the mystery buried in the manor's history with the help of her friend Daya, the line between predator and protector blurs into something neither of them can control.\n\nHaunting Adeline is the first book in H.D.

Abby's Mindf*ck series, a dark dual-POV romantic thriller that continues directly from the previous book and should not be read as a standalone.\n\nLana Myers is closing in on the men who once ruined her, but the deeper her list of targets runs, the more the past she has buried threatens to surface. FBI profiler Logan Bennett is drawn ever further into the case — and into the woman he cannot stop protecting, even as the evidence begins to circle uncomfortably close to the truth.\n\nAs alliances shift and the danger sharpens on both sides of the hunt, the line between predator and protector blurs. Tense, addictive, and morally charged, this entry raises the stakes in a series built to be read straight through to its explosive end.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kqnc1mky0rdq0xrxjmgd7n8g.jpg","L8D*;RMJ00GZ{LxaIANu1boz0K?H",139,[854],{"id":742,"slug":743,"name":744},[856,860,864,865,866,867],{"id":857,"name":858,"slug":859,"is_fiction":20},24,"Dark Fantasy","dark-fantasy",{"id":861,"name":862,"slug":863,"is_fiction":20},21,"Urban Fantasy","urban-fantasy",{"id":148,"name":149,"slug":150,"is_fiction":20},{"id":281,"name":282,"slug":283,"is_fiction":20},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":398,"name":399,"slug":400,"is_fiction":20},[869],{"id":753,"slug":754,"name":755,"position":523,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":77,"complexity":7,"audience":79,"mood":871,"themes":872,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[160,81,369,159],[292,759,163,760,253],[874],{"id":875,"slug":876,"title":877,"user":878,"work_id":4,"is_draft":19,"verified_reader":20,"featured":19,"body":885,"overall_rating":142,"depth":7,"momentum":7,"atmosphere":7,"craft":7,"impact":7,"spice":7,"spoiler_level":886,"locale":7,"feed_item_key":887,"like_count":17,"comment_count":17,"top_likers":888,"viewer_can_reply":19,"created_at":889,"updated_at":889},"01kxpwj8y5y7a6bhtd2jpy6h1h","review-of-after-the-dark-by-nadene","Review of \"After the Dark\" by nadene",{"id":879,"name":880,"username":881,"avatar_url":882,"is_system":19,"published_reviews_count":883,"books_read_count":884},692,"Nadene","nadene","https:\u002F\u002Flh3.googleusercontent.com\u002Fa\u002FACg8ocJagtEG0_WBr9w_-tRnbZi93QoXf9OelJQx_77YX1doLsOHefbv=s96-c",1825,1837,"I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.\n\nAfter the Dark follows the events of The Gathering Dusk. Samantha no longer works for the FBI and has returned to her hometown in Alabama. The outcome of her last case turned out to be a humiliating experience. She failed to recognise that the serial killer they had been hunting was none other than her ex-lover. Samantha took this failure hard and sets and took it on herself to hunt him on her own while trying to figure out what made her fail to see what had been in front of her eyes.\n\nMeanwhile, the killer is still on the loose and appears to be killing again. Needing her help, Blake came to Alabama to convince her to work with him to put an end to ex-lover’s reign of terror while hoping to pursue the attraction that burnt between them.\n\nAfter the Dark took the reader on a journey filled with tension, suspense and non-stop action. Seeing Into the mind of the killer has always been one thing which fascinated the reader with stories featuring psychopaths, and in this regard, Eden did a splendid job. When Blake and Sam began their investigation, they discovered they are hunting not one but two killers. Despite knowing the identity of the killers, it did not detract from the tension as not knowing when they would make their next move and who would be their next victim made for some serious nerve-wracking moments. The main villain proved to be the scariest of all. His obsession with Sam made him unpredictable, which made more dangerous than his counterpart. Like most serial killer books, the reader has read, this was graphic and definitively not for the faint of heart.\n\nLike most suspense books, the romance took a back seat to the danger and the investigation. However, the moments they spent together outside of the investigation sizzled and popped. Blake’s need to protect Samantha proved overbearing. His need to protect Samantha was understandable, but in his zeal to keep her safe, he ignored her abilities, which led to some missed opportunities.\n\nOverall, the reader had a great time with this installment and is looking forward to reading the other books in the series.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading","none","rv-01kxpwj8y5y7a6bhtd2jpy6h1h",[],"2026-07-17T01:55:26.000000Z"]
