I really liked this book:) With knowledge that Ms Carleton writes some triggering and dark stuff, I don’t understand why people read it if they’re not comfortable with it. And then they leave nasty reviews. This book was written beautifully, and the plot was really great. I found the switching of times a little confusing, but it all added up in the end. Honestly it kinda feels like it’s left on a cliffhanger, but it’s a good ending!! 
The hardcover version I bought off of Amazon somehow did not come with a page 204. Soooo if anyone has that page, please message me because I seriously need that page *enter sobbing emoji here

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.

I loved this.

To start, let me say if you haven't read the Cat and Mouse duet I just don't think this will hit so much. But if you have then this is a must read. The duet gives depth to Molly's book and context to her harsh life which helps you feel instantly connected to her story despite her not even featuring as an on page characters in the duet.

I was so happy to hear we would get to learn more about Molly and I think this novella was a great way for her story to be shown. It was addictive and quick to read. The previous books meant we had an idea of what she'd been through and we could avoid reliving the more traumatic parts of Hunting Adeline. I loved Molly and the 'good for her vibes' of the story. Overall and easier read considering the dark topics covered, with a good amount of focus on Molly, her life and healing. Plus the added spice and sweetness of her relationship with Cage.

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
