Review
This was a quick read but very rich and adds so much to the Cat and Mouse Universe. Molly was mentioned in Hunting Adeline and if you have been reading the books in order, side characters we have seen before appear in this book too. Make sure you read the book to its entirety, there is an exciting tie in at the very end, after the epilogue 🌹

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.
