H.D Carlton is the queen of dark romance. This book was short and fast paced but it still felt complete. Cage was classic morally gray with a little golden retriever thrown in while Molly was dark and twisty but slightly hopeful. The plot was well developed and I loved the little references to the cat and mouse duet.

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
