Haunting Adeline
Book • 2025
I've chased you across time and space, and you've never been able to get away.' For Adeline Reilly, moving back to Seattle was supposed to be the perfect fresh start. With her flourishing career as an author, and the inheritance of her late grandmother's gothic mansion, there is nothing to stand in her way. But Adeline isn't alone in Parson's Manor. It isn't the angry souls haunting the hallways of her childhood home that Adeline fears - it's the mysterious break-ins, roses appearing, and threatening messages that somehow sound more like eerie promises. Adeline has a stalker. Yet, she quickly discovers she's not the first person in her family to fall victim to a shadow in pursuit. Left behind are her great-grandmother's haunting journals detailing the story of her own phantom, and subsequently, her brutal murder. Parson's Manor now holds more than just Adeline's memories - it houses a grim future that could lead to history repeating itself. If she doesn't fall in love with her stalker first. Warning: This book ends on a cliffhanger.
