I didn’t really have any expectations going into it. I loved Haunting Adeline, wasn’t a fan of Hunting Adeline or Does It Hurt? But, I wanted to give it a shot. 

Cage appeared back in her life too conveniently. I personally think she should’ve left Layla alone because that’s a lot of trauma. Also, is she going to stop the pig feeding stuff if Layla hangs out more?

And the whole jump to Zade at the end was a cheap, fast ending. It didn’t give me any closure or want to read the next book.

Overall did I like this book yes but was I little disappointed in it, also yes. I was extremely excited for this book to come out from the moment I heard about it. I thought it was such a cool idea to hear about what happened to Molly after she escaped in Hunting Adeline. My problem with the book was that some parts of Molly's character seemed a bit odd to me. Like I understand that the book was only 200 or so pages so the story had to progress pretty quick, but it just didn't make sense to me that Molly would have a one night stand with Cage; a complete stranger and fall in love with him given her back story like ??? Seems a little out of character for someone who experienced the things that she did but idk maybe that's just me? That aside I really liked the rest of the book. Again overlooking their weird first encounter I really enjoyed Cage and Molly together I thought they were cute together. Also Cage's mom was hilarious I kind of wish she was in it more lol because the shit she was saying had me cracking up

Should I find it disturbing how much I enjoyed it? Hahaha

I haven't read Haunting Adeline yet, to be honest it never really looked that interesting UNTIL now.

Now I need it.

slow start but as it picked up, i couldnt put it down! while i know hails said this would be short story on molly; i really wished it was longer! so much questions, i need answers. i also wished we got to see molly & layla’s reunion & how it played out. nonetheless the extended epilogue was everything!! zade & addie’s cameo was the cherry on top 🥹

 Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.25/5

“She escaped me once, and I let her. I won’t allow it a second time.”

👻cat & mouse world

👻possessive mmc 

👻forced proximity 

👻insta lust 

 

“At one point in our lives, we don’t know our soulmates at all. But that doesn’t make them any less of one. Sometimes… sometimes you just know.” 

 

Synopsis: 

Did you ever wonder what happened to Molly who left the journal at Francesca’s house in Hunting Adeline? Well wonder no more, as this is her book. This is Molly’s story, from her childhood, to how she ended up at Francesca’s, how she got away from Francesca’s, and how with the help of Legion, Z, and Cage she is alive and physically well in the present day. 

 

My Thoughts: 

As somebody who did in fact wonder what happened to Molly, I thoroughly enjoyed this book as it answered almost every question I had about Molly. Where she came from, how she ended up being kidnapped, how she ran away, if she was still alive. I know everything now; I just wish the book was a little … more, I guess? I feel like there was so much s 3 x between her and Cage, when I wanted to know more about her sister, her life once she ran to a different state, what was the final straw on why she came back. So, it was good, but it wasn’t a top tier book for me. That extended epilogue though? Omg.  Now I will impatiently await Sibby’s story ❤️ 

 

“I would do anything to show you that you're mine.” 

 

Read this book if you love:

-        Haunting & Hunting Adeline 

-        Dark romances with lots of trigger warnings 

-        Pigs lol 

Happy reading besties 😊
