I always enjoy one of H.D. Carlton’s books, but I wished it was longer honestly. I know she’s set us up to see more of Molly so I’m excited. I loved that we got to see the backstory of someone that we didn’t meet but was so important in Addie’s story.
Looking forward to seeing how she and Zade play together in any future books.

A fast paced, intense read about two former acquaintances rekindling a flame after years of being apart.

The use of mixing between the past and present made the story so interesting as you slowly get to see what happened to lead to the present. 

Molly and Cage..I WAS OBSESSED with them. Molly is such an inspiring strong female lead! And Cage..I thought he was  perfect for her! 

The spice did not..I SAID..DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! 

I hope to see them in future HD Carlton books..i think we will ;) 

Til then <3

Another phenomenal book book by HD Carlton. Molly's story was heartbreaking and infuriating. It's absolutely horrible what she went through and what she had to give up after surviving.  

But I loved how much Cage cares for and loves Molly after they meet and then reconnect years later. 

I do wish we could've seen Molly and her sister talk through everything together, but their meeting after so long and seeing Molly's sister happy with her family was enough for me.

Also that extended epilogue was amazing. Seeing Zade and Adeline again and the mention of Sibby was perfect. 

I would absolutely recommend. As usual, this is another five star read for me from this author.

Definitely too short. Carlton could have fleshed this one out significantly more than she did, but I am SO appreciative of the ability to read Molly’s story! That was a huge open ended question from Hunting Adeline, and her decision to write this was definitely spot on. The book kept me engaged throughout, and the fact that my only critique is that so wish it was longer is not something I will complain about.

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.

I enjoyed this book I just felt like it could have been longer and there could have been more romantic not smutty scenes with her and Cage I like the character well enough and the flashbacks were oh so interesting but it went from flashbacks to smut back to back to back to the end

I really enjoyed Where's Molly.  Off the back of Hunting Adeline, Where's Molly gave us a deeper understanding of Francesca's House and the diary that Adeline found.  Cage is such a golden retriever at heart but man did I love the pit-bull energy he gives off.  Power and darkness radiates off this man in supersonic waves and I'm so here for it.  

I understand its a short novella purely to explain the backstory and for-story of a side character who was very important to the plot of Hunting but I just wish it was longer so we could have more of a connection to the characters.  I LOVED the sneak peak we got of Zade and Adeline at the end of Where's Molly and I'm on the edge of my seat hoping and praying we get a book about all 4 of them. 

Also love Rio, that man needs more recognition.
