This review may contain spoilers for the Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline duet. Please read this at your own risk.

I loved everything about this book. In fact, this was my book of the month for February, it was just that good! As you all may know, I loved the Cat and Mouse duet even though it gave me serious heart palpitations. I adored Adeline even though she drove me crazy and she made some less than stellar choices. So I was beyond excited to hear that H.D Carlton was releasing a book about Molly, a character whose journal Adeline found when she was trafficked. I was always curious to know exactly what happened to Molly and what her story was about.

I adored Molly, plain and simple. The dedication she had to her baby sister was amazing. She never stopped trying for her sister and anytime a character does that, I have the utmost respect for them. I am a big sister myself and I love my siblings so much and will do just about anything for them. So seeing characters be the same way instantly puts them in my list of top main characters. I was cheering Molly on the whole way. Even when she was being so difficult with Cage, I was still her biggest fan. She was doing her best and I was so proud of her.

Speaking of Cage, I loved him so much. He was a gentle soul on the inside but he also wouldn’t tolerate Molly’s mess. He pushed Molly to be better but he also knew when to back up and give Molly space. He acknowledged her trauma and didn’t try to fix her. He helped her heal and the way he was supportive involved her sister. He was just perfect. Truly another fantastic main character. I hope we get more of him in future books. I hope there are future books.

Overall, this was a great book. It wasn’t as dark as Cat and Mouse duet but it still has some darkness to it. But at least I didn’t have heart palpitations while I read the book. The ending was also amazing and it leaves room for more books, which I sincerely hope we get. I need more of Cage, Molly, Zade, and Adeline. I just need H.D Carlton to write books about their characters forever.
