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 🥹

“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 😊

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.
