This was a great spin off to Haunting Adeline. I think if you liked the cat and mouse duo! It continues the story in a different way and gives you some closure to Mollys story.

Like a 2.05
I think I have realized that these type of dark romance MMCs are not for me.
I liked Molly more than I liked Adeline.
Molly had a lot of grit to her and really tried hard to put down boundaries (even tho some men said no)
Her story and character growth was nice though! I think that’s why I even gave it just over a 2.
I really resonated a lot with Molly and how she sees herself, as broken and damaged and not worth loving.

This book has so many trigger warnings it’s a long ass grocery list. I suggest preparing yourself cause it gets uncomfortable.

Over all I loved this book. I read it so fast and it was great at getting me out of my reading slump. The pacing was great until the end. The end felt very rushed. I would’ve rated it five stars if the pacing was a little more balanced. I will say though, this is definitely a dark romance. You need to read all of the trigger warnings before picking the book up. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a true dark romance with a toxic relationship at the center and suspense throughout with a balanced portion of spice

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.

I love this universe and author... but I won't lie- I was kind of disappointed... We were perfectly set up for another Hunting Adeline type story..

Instead, everything was just.... skipped? I felt like so much was glossed over. I didn't have the best connection to cage & I don't understand her leaving Layla the day before she was starting over in a nice new life.... She could have easily taken Layla with her and had her name changed.

Anyways, with all the complaints- I did genuinely enjoy the book. Molly was amazing and gave a good look into how trauma taints you for years to come.

Her inability to distance herself from her past is so familiar to so many trauma survivors. I loved the reaction of Molly meeting Layla and her adoptive parents. It was a realistic view at how reunification can be tough on everyone involved.

and ofc, the book was SEXY.

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
