I enjoyed this book I just felt like it could have been longer and there could have been more romantic not smutty scenes with her and Cage I like the character well enough and the flashbacks were oh so interesting but it went from flashbacks to smut back to back to back to the end

When I began reading about Molly, I was taken aback by

the gruesome way in which she made people disappear with pigs.

However, as I delved deeper into her backstory, I began to understand how she ended up doing that sort of job and resorting to such tactics. 

It was heart-wrenching to read about how Molly had

to make the agonizing decision to give up her sister for adoption, but I believe it was the right choice to give her a chance at a 'normal' life.

 

Molly and Cage are two of the most lovable characters. Molly, in particular, underwent a remarkable transformation as a character.

She had endured life-altering experiences that would have left anyone guarded and closed off to others. Nevertheless, Cage proved to be dependable and supportive, and Molly developed complete trust in him over time.

One thing to bear in mind is that the book has trigger warnings that should not be taken lightly.

NOT THE CLIFFHANGER OH MY GOD. This is so good and so cathartic after reading the Cat and Mouse Duet and having so much love for Molly. She deserved the story she was given in this novella and it was amazing—goodbye

Being back in this world for a short time was fun and as always… dark as hell.
Molly did not disappoint and this book was as hot as it was disturbing and gory.
And I ate that shit up, just like the pigs.

🐖🐖🐖

Molly had just about the hardest backstory to read. This poor girl had been abused and neglected her entire life and even though she devoted every second of it to making sure her baby sister didn’t have to suffer, life still managed to snuff out the one good thing she had.

I was relieved we didn’t have to relieve parts of that house of horrors but it was interesting seeing a little about Rio and what she felt on the other side of that journal.

When we meet Molly present day, she is a damn badass. Chopping up bodies for the pigs and owning her life in the shadows. And while I didn’t form an attachment to Cage for a while, boyyyy did he come out swinging. In the beginning, his obsession was corny as hell but everything about him was so endearing. And I adore that this short book wasn’t just about Cage & Molly, it was deep and it got me in my feels.

And as if it couldn’t get better, Cages mom absolutely cracked me upppp.
Molly better be ready because her future MIL is going to make every family get together a blast.

I think this was one of the most satisfying endings I’ve read, even if I did wonder how things turned out with Molly & Layla’s relationship. But, in my mind, there's no doubt that kid wanted her sister around and she’s probably in therapy right now trying to work through all the new information she has about her childhood but simultaneously happy she has that piece of her filled with her big sister around.
*In my head, Molly also went to the store clerk that tried to help her and let him know she was okay because that poor man…* 🙃

Genuinely, we got so much closure and depth in this story and I LOVE that.

The extended epilogue literally had me kicking me feet, I was so fucking excited to see Addie & Zade! Now I need more.
