I think this is HD’s best so far. 
I freaking love Molly & Cage. I want more of them. They are perfection.

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.

As always with any book by H.D. Carlton, before I start this review, please check trigger warnings and please note that I don’t condone the actions during the storyline. However, I loved Molly. 

This book is based on Molly, who we learned about in the Cat and Mouse duet. This is her story from before the events of Cat and Mouse and afterwards. To the world, Molly has been missing for years and the police are searching for the girl who seemed to vanish out of thin air and the world want to know where she is. However, in her dreams she never escaped the Oregon woods. Life after death isn’t easy to accept, especially when she still feels like a ghost. Now, she lives deep in the mountains of Montana – the paradigm of beauty. But they are also the home of horrors. Horrors that she only unleashes at night. When her pigs are allowed to feat.  

I went into this book completely blind, like it took me a good few chapters to realise it was the same universe as the Cat and Mouse series, I was like this sounds familiar and it should have done because they were talking about Zade. I loved Molly’s development and I love how she went from this scared, abused woman to this strong, kick ass women who feeds bad people to pigs like you go girl. I loved Molly’s personality and I love how Cade was like you can be this tough girl around everyone else but around me. I loved Cade and I loved the relationship. I enjoyed the cameo from Zade and Addie.  

I didn’t have anything to hate about this Novella, I just wanted it to be longer, like as long as the Cat & Mouse duet. It was a brutal read and I feel guilty for enjoying this book and I wanted to hug Molly so damn much.  

I cannot wait to see what H.D. Carlton writes next.

Molly became so strong from the traumas that she endured. She did not let that stop her, rather, fuel her need to freate the life she wants to live. She did what was best for her sister, even though it completely shattered her own heart. 

H.D. Carlton really knows how to pull on all the heart strings while giving us all the smutty pleasures we could desire.

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.
