4.5/5⭐️ 3/5🌶️

*Highly recommend reading the Cat and Mouse Duet by HD Carlton before reading this book. 

I was so happy when HD Carlton announced a new book! I read all of her other ones, loved them, and couldn’t wait to dive into another of her books! Especially one that sits in the world that has Zade and Addie. 

Where’s Molly follows Molly (duh) and her story from the past to the present. We first met Molly, well not actually her but her diary, in Hunting Adaline but now it’s time for her to tell us what happened after she escaped Francesca’s grasp and how she got there too. 

I absolutely loved being back in this world and this was a short and not so sweet book that filled that void. I loved Molly and her strength when we got to see tidbits in Hunting Adeline and this was the perfect closure of questions I forgot were unanswered. We got to see how awful past and now her life after what we witnessed.

We were also introduced to Cage and like his name he’s everything you would expect, yet he’s protective and would literally kill for those he loves. 

Overall, this book was perfect for me. I wish it was longer but it’s a novella and long one too. I particularly loved the extended epilogue as I truly feel that gave us all the closure we needed for both Molly and Addie.
