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","4.29",139,[898],{"id":800,"slug":801,"name":802},[900,904,908,909,910,911],{"id":901,"name":902,"slug":903,"is_fiction":16},24,"Dark Fantasy","dark-fantasy",{"id":905,"name":906,"slug":907,"is_fiction":16},21,"Urban Fantasy","urban-fantasy",{"id":152,"name":153,"slug":154,"is_fiction":16},{"id":92,"name":157,"slug":158,"is_fiction":16},{"id":41,"name":42,"slug":43,"is_fiction":16},{"id":163,"name":164,"slug":165,"is_fiction":16},[913],{"id":811,"slug":812,"name":813,"position":524,"is_main_entry":16,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":65,"complexity":7,"audience":68,"mood":915,"themes":916,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[71,70,72,170],[266,265,173,817,576],[]]
