Overview
This two-book paperback set brings together the complete Cat and Mouse Duet by H. D. Carlton: Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline. A viral dark romance phenomenon that took over Booktok, the duet follows horror author Adeline Reilly as she inherits a gothic family mansion, uncovers her great-grandmother's chilling journals, and becomes the obsession of a dangerous, watchful stranger. Intense, twisty, and unapologetically addictive, this is the full story from first encounter to final reckoning, collected in one brand-new paperback bundle for readers who want to binge the entire arc.

About the Books
Haunting Adeline opens when Adeline Reilly moves into Parson's Manor, the estate left behind by her great-grandmother, only to discover journals detailing a brutal, unsolved murder from decades earlier. As she digs into the past, she realizes she is being watched by someone who knows the manor's secrets better than she does, and the line between fear and fascination blurs. Hunting Adeline picks up immediately where the first book ends, pushing the stalker-and-prey dynamic to its darkest, most explosive extreme as Adeline is pulled deeper into a world of monsters hiding in plain sight. Together, the two novels form a complete, continuous story, not standalone books, so reading Haunting Adeline before Hunting Adeline is essential. H. D. Carlton's signature style is on full display: razor-sharp tension, morally gray characters, gothic atmosphere, and dark, mature romance. The duet became one of the breakout dark romance sensations of recent years, driven largely by reader word-of-mouth. Both books arrive in matching brand-new trade paperback editions from Zando, making this an easy way to start the series on physical shelves.
