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. Carlton's Cat and Mouse Duet, a BookTok phenomenon known as much for its polarizing reputation as its popularity. It is an extremely dark, graphic romance built on a stalker premise and should be approached with its extensive content warnings firmly in mind. The story concludes in Hunting Adeline.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjq7d16vpnbx2zmyg0xv52j2.jpg","L37UC$RjDibb~p4nM{_3_3-pD%WB",2021,8,624,[116],{"id":117,"slug":118,"name":119},"01kjq7d15n9d0n7nxmbjwtnxs7","h-d-carlton-ucki","H.

Then billionaire Tobias Hawthorne dies and leaves almost his entire fortune to Avery, a girl he never met. Overnight she goes from getting by to being worth billions, on one strange condition: she must move into Hawthorne House, the sprawling, secret-filled mansion where the tycoon's sharp, disinherited family still lives.\n\nThe Hawthornes were raised on riddles, ciphers, and elaborate puzzle-hunts of their patriarch's design, and they are certain Avery's inheritance is the old man's final game. None of them know why she was chosen — least of all Avery. As she's drawn deeper into the mansion's hidden passages and coded clues, she finds herself caught between two very different Hawthorne grandsons, and realizes that solving the puzzle of her own inheritance may be the only way to stay alive.\n\nTwisty, addictive, and packed with clues, The Inheritance Games is the first book in Jennifer Lynn Barnes's bestselling YA mystery series.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ktdz3447g2bbz5cv90y2gmmk.jpg?v=e819ad6977","LAAm^s*GBm%|.Px@NwNa1MWXnPNH",2020,"4.20",10,392,[221],{"id":222,"slug":223,"name":224},"01kjq76w8f99gey2dtckz3hyy1","jennifer-lynn-barnes-ahks","Jennifer Lynn Barnes",[226,227,228,231,232,233],{"id":26,"name":27,"slug":28,"is_fiction":15},{"id":122,"name":123,"slug":124,"is_fiction":15},{"id":154,"name":229,"slug":230,"is_fiction":15},"Mystery","mystery",{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":15},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":15},{"id":234,"name":235,"slug":236,"is_fiction":15},213,"Amateur Sleuth","amateur-sleuth",[238,241],{"id":239,"slug":240,"name":212,"position":142,"is_main_entry":15,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq76wc37j9kswwhk81x0ges","the-inheritance-games-siln",{"id":242,"slug":243,"name":244,"position":142,"is_main_entry":15,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kxrs42dta8htxrdfv5279krj","jogos-de-heranca-ekvp","Jogos de Herança",{"pace":92,"complexity":7,"audience":246,"mood":247,"themes":249,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"young_adult",[205,96,248],"adventurous",[],{"id":251,"slug":252,"title":253,"description":254,"primary_cover_url":255,"cover_blurhash":256,"first_publish_year":257,"community_rating_avg":258,"community_rating_count":26,"page_count":259,"authors":260,"genres":265,"series":279,"enrichment":285},"01kjraye5j6rnm70mgdj79db4s","the-maddest-obsession-qted","The Maddest Obsession","The Maddest Obsession is the second novel in Danielle Lori's Made series, a dark mafia romance written to stand on its own. It follows Gianna, a young, sharp-tongued woman bound to the Cosa Nostra by blood and marriage, who hides her panic attacks behind glittering dresses and a quick, cutting wit.\n\nChristian Allister is her opposite in every way: an icy, exacting man of few words whose life runs on rigid order and self-control. When his world collides with Gianna's chaos, the friction between them curdles into something neither can name or contain — an obsession born of discipline on one side and relentless provocation on the other.\n\nTold in Lori's signature slow-burn style, the book pairs biting banter with a genuinely tender emotional core, tracing how two guarded, damaged people inch toward trust against the violent backdrop of organized crime.

When a reckless late-night comment invites him to make her fantasies real, she never expects him to say yes.\n\nJosh Hammond has spent his life hiding: behind a mask, behind a screen, behind the wall he built between himself and the father whose face he shares. Aly is the first person to see him and not flinch. What begins as a dangerous game between two strangers becomes something neither can walk away from. But Aly has drawn the attention of someone far more dangerous than the man in the mask, and the fantasy is about to turn deadly real.\n\nNavessa Allen's viral dark romance is a twisted, darkly funny, and unapologetically explicit story about obsession, control, and the thin line between fear and desire.

Everyone knows the story: her boyfriend, Sal Singh, killed her and then took his own life. The case is closed. But Pippa Fitz-Amobi has never quite believed it. When she chooses the murder as the subject of her senior capstone project, she tells herself she is only reopening old questions for a school assignment.\n\nThe deeper Pip digs, the less the official version holds together. With the help of Ravi Singh, Sal's younger brother, who has spent years living under the weight of his brother's supposed guilt, she starts tracing the last hours of Andie's life through interviews, old messages, and secrets the town would rather keep buried. Someone notices. As anonymous threats begin to arrive, it becomes clear that the truth is still dangerous, and that the real killer may be much closer than anyone imagined.\n\nTold through Pip's project log, transcripts, and maps alongside the narrative, Holly Jackson's debut is a tightly plotted whodunit that helped define a wave of modern young-adult crime fiction. It is a story about the cost of certainty, the pull of an unsolved case, and how far an ordinary teenager will go to be sure she has found the truth.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz6w5vgmqycxdp0ef1n13tz.jpg","L29GR9xG0etRnis:aKR*2@Sf~Cw{","4.54",24,[646],{"id":647,"slug":648,"name":649},"01kjq708qaq6gwrvex7vbawj8b","holly-jackson-sfps","Holly Jackson",[651,652,653,654,655,656],{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":15},{"id":154,"name":229,"slug":230,"is_fiction":15},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":15},{"id":87,"name":88,"slug":89,"is_fiction":15},{"id":122,"name":123,"slug":124,"is_fiction":15},{"id":657,"name":658,"slug":659,"is_fiction":15},17,"Children's Books","childrens",[661],{"id":662,"slug":663,"name":639,"position":142,"is_main_entry":15,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq708tq2w4nycb8n6dgczx3","a-good-girls-guide-to-murder-m9hd",{"pace":92,"complexity":7,"audience":246,"mood":665,"themes":666,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[205,96,95],[],{"id":668,"slug":669,"title":670,"description":671,"primary_cover_url":672,"cover_blurhash":673,"first_publish_year":674,"community_rating_avg":675,"community_rating_count":676,"page_count":677,"authors":678,"genres":683,"series":690,"enrichment":691},"01kjq80kf9938jetgptddrgx9j","verity-oqqr","Verity","Struggling author Lowen Ashby accepts an assignment: travel to the home of bestselling thriller writer Verity Crawford, incapacitated after an accident, and ghostwrite the remaining books in Verity's series. While searching Verity's study for notes, Lowen discovers what appears to be an autobiography — a manuscript confessing to events so disturbing she cannot determine whether it is genuine, deliberate fiction, or something meant to be found. Verity's husband Jeremy is in the house, grieving his children. As Lowen and Jeremy grow closer, she must decide what to do with what she has read — and whether the woman in the wheelchair is as helpless as she appears. Originally self-published in 2018, Verity was picked up by Grand Central Publishing in 2021 and became a number-one New York Times bestseller. A film adaptation was produced by Amazon MGM Studios.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjq80kf9938jetgptddrgx9j.jpg?v=210e72ffdf","LIQbXG=@~oxtiJxZRlWCIsafwvof",2018,"3.78",23,368,[679],{"id":680,"slug":681,"name":682},"01kjq6v9dwbpe21n6wtm0rrkp1","colleen-hoover-kfvf","Colleen Hoover",[684,685,686,687,688,689],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":15},{"id":267,"name":268,"slug":269,"is_fiction":15},{"id":624,"name":625,"slug":626,"is_fiction":15},{"id":80,"name":81,"slug":82,"is_fiction":15},{"id":154,"name":229,"slug":230,"is_fiction":15},{"id":26,"name":27,"slug":28,"is_fiction":15},[],{"pace":92,"complexity":7,"audience":93,"mood":692,"themes":693,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[95,96],[635],{"id":695,"slug":696,"title":697,"description":698,"primary_cover_url":699,"cover_blurhash":700,"first_publish_year":257,"community_rating_avg":701,"community_rating_count":702,"page_count":703,"authors":704,"genres":709,"series":715,"enrichment":716},"01kjq77dx08ykthbbb7jc7p80m","the-silent-patient-cfa9","The Silent Patient","Alicia Berenson's life looks perfect. A celebrated painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house overlooking a park in one of London's most desirable neighbourhoods. Then, one evening, her husband Gabriel returns home late and Alicia shoots him five times in the face — and from that moment never speaks another word.\n\nHer refusal to explain, or even to talk, turns a domestic tragedy into a public sensation and hardens into an unsolvable mystery. Alicia is confined to the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London, where she paints and stays silent. Theo Faber, a criminal psychotherapist who has been fascinated by her case for years, engineers a job at the unit and sets out to reach her, convinced that if he can only get Alicia to speak, he can uncover the truth of that night.\n\nTold through Theo's obsessive investigation and Alicia's own private diary, Alex Michaelides's debut is a tautly plotted psychological thriller that draws on Greek tragedy and builds to one of the genre's most talked-about twists.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ksxn51w268j0at5kteg1gx1n.jpg","LXPPZCI:InRi_4xaV?V@S$ozahj[","3.95",21,338,[705],{"id":706,"slug":707,"name":708},"01kjq77dyksetajsedf6dp3qqw","alex-michaelides-vigb","Alex Michaelides",[710,711,712,713,714],{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":15},{"id":87,"name":88,"slug":89,"is_fiction":15},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":15},{"id":154,"name":229,"slug":230,"is_fiction":15},{"id":267,"name":268,"slug":269,"is_fiction":15},[],{"pace":92,"complexity":7,"audience":93,"mood":717,"themes":718,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[95,205,96],[635],{"id":720,"slug":721,"title":722,"description":723,"primary_cover_url":724,"cover_blurhash":725,"first_publish_year":726,"community_rating_avg":727,"community_rating_count":122,"page_count":728,"authors":729,"genres":734,"series":742,"enrichment":746},"01kjrb6v0vp2h2pdmd736235se","dark-matter-phkz","Dark Matter","Jason Dessen has a good life: a stable career teaching physics, a marriage he still cherishes, and a teenage son he adores — a life he chose over the dazzling scientific career he once seemed destined for.

His wife isn't his wife. His son was never born.

Police summon Langdon as an expert, but he quickly realizes he is himself a suspect. With the help of cryptologist Sophie Neveu—the dead man's estranged granddaughter—he flees into the Paris night, following a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci.\n\nWhat begins as a murder investigation opens onto a far older secret. The pair chase a chain of riddles that leads through art, history, and the coded traditions of a shadowy brotherhood, pursued both by the French police and by a devout, self-punishing assassin acting on orders he believes are holy. As the clues accumulate, Langdon and Sophie edge toward a revelation that a powerful institution has spent two thousand years trying to bury—one that could reshape how millions understand faith and history.\n\nA breathless overnight chase across Paris and London, The Da Vinci Code weaves cryptography, symbology, and religious history into a puzzle-driven thriller. It is the second novel featuring Robert Langdon and the book that made Dan Brown a global phenomenon.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz6hg4bj85xmzpemc2cswcp.jpg","LCH,^QENxYS4.lWXt6sn9gj[R,WC",2003,"4.31",454,[761],{"id":762,"slug":763,"name":764},"01kjq7nrb18rgx9m126z6hryqe","dan-brown-pwui","Dan Brown",[766,767,768,769,770,774,775],{"id":154,"name":229,"slug":230,"is_fiction":15},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":15},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":15},{"id":113,"name":474,"slug":475,"is_fiction":15},{"id":771,"name":772,"slug":773,"is_fiction":14},75,"Philosophy & Religion","philosophy-religion",{"id":87,"name":88,"slug":89,"is_fiction":15},{"id":776,"name":777,"slug":778,"is_fiction":14},70,"History","history",[780],{"id":781,"slug":782,"name":783,"position":284,"is_main_entry":15,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq7nrssg9jm7at57d8e2wh2","robert-langdon-nnyu","Robert Langdon",{"pace":92,"complexity":7,"audience":93,"mood":785,"themes":787,"setting_period":7,"summary":789,"content_warnings":7},[96,205,786],"intellectual",[788],"mystery-box","A murder inside the Louvre pulls symbologist Robert Langdon into an overnight chase across Paris and London, chasing a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci.",[791],{"id":792,"slug":793,"title":794,"user":795,"work_id":4,"is_draft":14,"verified_reader":15,"featured":14,"body":802,"overall_rating":26,"depth":7,"momentum":7,"atmosphere":7,"craft":7,"impact":7,"spice":7,"spoiler_level":803,"locale":7,"feed_item_key":804,"like_count":12,"comment_count":12,"top_likers":805,"viewer_can_reply":14,"created_at":806,"updated_at":806},"01kxpq2skqekj9yj8b4kv77f73","review-of-fatal-promises-the-bad-legacy-series-by-nadene","Review of \"Fatal Promises The Bad Legacy Series\" by nadene",{"id":796,"name":797,"username":798,"avatar_url":799,"is_system":14,"published_reviews_count":800,"books_read_count":801},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.Fatal Promises continues Diana Munoz Bad Legacy series. I'm this installment Munoz delivers an emotional and entertaining friend to lovers' romance. With its themes of mental health and emotional trauma It will appeal to readers seeking a suspenseful and action-packed tale that features relatable characters.\n\nFatal Promises gives us Flor and Manny's story with The Great One at the center of the evil and danger dogging their steps. Readers who read Broken Promises would have met Flor already. In book 1, one learns she's a police officer while book 2 explore her past and the reason she's on the infamous kill list. Flor is determined to find her mother to learn the truth behind The Great One's fixation. She intends to do so on her own, however her partner and friend Manny has no intention of letting her go it alone.\n\nManny and Flor shared a long history of friendship with both harboring romantic feelings for the other. While their friendship remained strong, they never pursued the romantic feelings. Although, Manny desires more, Flor fears taking their relationship beyond friendship. She suffered physical and emotional trauma in the past which contributed to her keeping persons at distance. With this looming threat, Flor seeks to overcome her fears while trying to prove her mother's innocence and prevent The Great One from carrying out their evil plan.\n\nUnlike the previous book, Fatal Promises focused more on the relationship between the protagonists. Also, attention was given to struggles Flor dealt with from her past trauma. I enjoyed seeing her work through her pain and opening up herself to a solid romantic relationship with Manny.\n\nThe identity of The Great One still remains a mystery. Their manipulative skills shined through once again as they found the perfect patsy.\n\nOnce again while the romantic thread has closure, the suspense thread leaves readers with questions. Fatal Promises was a great addition to the series. Well plotted, Fatal Promises was difficult to put down and it definitely left me wanting more.\n\nThis review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading","none","rv-01kxpq2skqekj9yj8b4kv77f73",[],"2026-07-17T00:19:36.000000Z"]
