I fell in love with Molly’s story and I’m anxious for what else this author has in store.

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.

The story of Molly felt a bit forced. Like the author WANTED to write a story about her and crafted one around it. Wasn’t impressed, tbh.
