Obsession and PossessionZade’s fixation on Adeline blurs the lines between love, obsession, and control. This theme explores what happens when desire turns into dangerous territory — when affection is laced with stalking and manipulation.2. Power and ControlThe power dynamic between predator and prey is central, especially through the “Cat and Mouse” metaphor. Both characters wrestle for dominance, control, and autonomy — physically, emotionally, and psychologically.3. Trauma and RecoveryIn Hunting Adeline, trauma is a raw, unflinching presence. Adeline’s abduction and assault plunge her into deep psychological wounds, but her journey is one of painful, slow recovery and reclaiming her sense of self.4. Morality in the GrayBoth characters operate in moral grayness — Zade is a vigilante who kills traffickers but also stalks and manipulates Adeline. The books challenge readers to question justice, righteousness, and whether intentions can ever justify dark actions.5. Duality of Fear and DesireAdeline’s feelings toward Zade oscillate between terror and attraction, highlighting how fear can sometimes coexist with fascination, leading to a complex psychological bond.6. Violence and LoveViolence, both physical and emotional, threads through their relationship. Yet, amidst this, there are moments of tenderness, complicating the reader’s perception of what love looks like in extreme circumstances.
