H.D. Carlton is a widely recognized author renowned for her dark romance novels and the creation of the thriller "Haunting Adeline." She is known for crafting morally ambiguous characters that either provoke strong emotions or captivate readers.

"Haunting Adeline" is one of her most celebrated works, originally self-published in 2021. The book blends elements of psychological suspense, murder mystery, and dark romance alongside conventional romance, adding depth and intensity to its romantic aspects.

It serves as the inaugural installment in The Cat and Mouse Duet series, with the second book, "Hunting Adeline" (2022), and a prequel titled "Satan's Affair" (2021) also part of the series.

Initially, "Haunting Adeline" faced suspension on Amazon due to the inclusion of trigger warnings at the beginning of the book. However, it has since garnered significant popularity on social media platforms, especially on TikTok's BookTok.

Carlton's portrayals of sexual assault and explicit scenes of violence and sensuality have sparked criticism, but overall, "Haunting Adeline," "Satan's Affair," and "Hunting Adeline" remain highly popular works.

In "Haunting Adeline," the story revolves around Adeline Reilly, a young writer who relocates to her family's house in Washington state following her grandmother's passing. She becomes the target of Zade Meadows, the leader of an underground organization dedicated to combating human trafficking.
