What happens in haunting Adeline?
Her great grandmother had a spicy affair with her stalker! Adeline's great grandmother was murdered and she works with her best friend to figure out who did it. While trying to solve this mystery, Adeline finds herself in the same place as her great grandmother did with a hot stalker.
Once I finished Haunting Adeline, I was counting down the days until the release date if this bad boy. Hunting Adeline picks up exactly where the first book ended. Zade and Addie are separated, and we experience that with them.
cc Zade is early thirties. Adeline is mid-twenties.
Adeline is an author who inherits her dead grandmothers old manor, and out on a signing for her book Zade spots her and instantly becomes obsessed. Zade is an incredibly talented hacker and while usually he uses his talents for saving children from predators, he also uses his skills to get closer to Adeline.
Adeline does ask Zade of one this, and this to not kill Rio. Too much of his dismay he agrees not to. As promised after adeline was rescued they rescued Rio's sister Katerina. The story does end on a happy note with Zade proposing in his own way.
Haunting Adeline is an exact definition of a scary book for adults, though this is rated 18, I would say it suits audiences ages 20 and up. This scary horror book is a psychological thriller with a dark romance theme, and when I say dark, it's indeed dark! The author even gives a warning about its content.
Trigger Warning:
It is a dark romance that contains graphic violence, dub/non con, and deals with subject matters such as child trafficking and human sacrifice. If you have ANY triggers at all, this may not be the story for you.
In the movie, Ellis gives Adeline books that are his “flowers” to Adeline. He gives her White Oleander by Janet Fitch, Dandelion Wine by ray Bradbury and Daisy Miller by Henry James. I pinned these because they look beautiful and are actually good book.

And once she is, I'll never let her go. Not even when she begs me to. While not required, it is highly suggested to read the novella, Satan's Affair, first.
Is Midnight Mass a continuation of the haunting series?
As far as plot goes, no. Also as far as characters go, no. Midnight Mass is an entirely original story that Flanagan cooked up, whereas The Haunting of Hill House was based on a Shirley Jackson novel of the same name, and The Haunting of Bly Manor was based on Henry James' novella The Turn of the Screw.
Warning: This is the second and final installment to the Duet. You must read Haunting Adeline first.

It is a dark romance that contains graphic violence, dub/non con, and deals with subject matters such as child trafficking and human sacrifice. If you have ANY triggers at all, this may not be the story for you.

Trigger Warning: This is a dark romance that contains rape, graphic violence and sexual assault, explicit sexual situations, strong language, human trafficking, PTSD, and kinks such as degradation, knife play, blood play, and somnophilia.
It feels rather novel that the film, directed by Lee Toland Krieger, is, well, not based on a novel, but is instead an original story dreamed up by screenwriters J. Mills Goodloe and Salvador Paskowitz.
