Hunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton
Did not finish book. Stopped at 11%.
I DNF'd this book at 11%. I only got to 11% because I started skimming through the book.
I finished the first book and felt very meh about it, but I wanted to keep going, so I started it. I was about 2% before I started skimming pages because I felt absolutely no connection to the characters. Z felt like a child throwing a temper tantrum, every time he 'black out from rage' it felt so.. eh. I just couldn't connect to him either as a character I hated or loved. Like.. for example, I absolutely hated Sin from the LORDS series, but I still FELT something about him and I totally finished that book.
All the stuff with Addie felt meh as well.. like yeah she's in a bad world and yeah I know nothing about this world or how it runs but I found I just couldn't give a shit about her. She felt so empty and hollow as a character, nothing for me to hook into.
I was super disappointed in this series, considering this is supposed to be a 'pillar' of the Dark Romance books and so many recommended it.
