Haunting Adeline is the first book in H.D. Carlton’s Cat and Mouse Duet, a dark romance centered on Adeline and the dangerous, obsessive man who becomes fixated on her. Against a gothic backdrop, it pairs a tense cat-and-mouse dynamic with a darker thriller undercurrent.
This is firmly an adult title with extensive content warnings — it leans into taboo, morally gray, and disturbing themes that the genre’s fans seek out and other readers should approach with real caution. That intensity is exactly what made it go viral, but it is not for the faint of heart.

Why Haunting Adeline is great on audio
On audio, dual narration heightens the predator-and-prey tension at the story’s core, which is much of its appeal. It’s an immersive listen for fans of the darker end of romance — just check the content warnings before you start.
Who should listen
For dark-romance readers who specifically seek taboo, morally gray, and intense themes — and who read the content warnings first. If disturbing or explicit content isn’t for you, skip this one; it’s among the genre’s most extreme popular titles.
