The Cat and Mouse duet by H.D. Carlton is a dark romantic suspense series about Adeline Reilly, a gothic romance author who moves into her late great‑grandmother’s isolated Victorian manor and discovers old journals revealing that her ancestor was murdered by a stalker whose identity was never uncovered. Soon after settling in, Adeline realizes she has a stalker of her own—Zade Meadows, an obsessive vigilante who runs a shadowy organization that hunts human traffickers and other predators, and who becomes fixated on her after seeing her at a book signing. As Adeline’s investigation into her great‑grandmother’s death intertwines with Zade’s brutal war against a powerful trafficking ring, their relationship evolves into a disturbing, addictive push‑and‑pull between predator and prey, blending gothic atmosphere, graphic darkness, and intense chemistry while leaving the ultimate outcomes of both the romance and the larger conspiracy unrevealed here.

Jamie’s review

This duet is DARK, you guys. The trigger warnings at the front of each book are real. I was like how bad can it be? Let me tell you, it’s BAD. And the 2nd book is significantly darker than the 1st. I had to keep reading and finish them which possibly means I am deranged, but I am so glad to be done with them. I read some easy breezy recovery books after I was finished to help me see the light again.
