From The Publisher:

A spinoff of the Cat & Mouse Duet...

"Molly Devereaux has been missing for more than two weeks, and police are still searching for the girl who seemed to vanish out of thin air. The world still wants to know... Where's Molly?"

In my dreams, I never escaped the Oregon woods.

Life after death isn't easy to accept, especially when I still feel like a ghost.

Now, I live deep in the mountains of Montana-the paradigm of beauty. But they are also the home of horrors.

Horrors that I only unleash at night.

When my pigs are allowed to feast.

It is strongly recommended to read Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline before reading Where's Molly.

3.5 stars rounded up. It was an engaging story and I was very invested in Molly and her sister Layla. The romance didn't interest me nearly enough but I found the aspects of her owning a pig farm was intriguing. Compared to the Haunting Adeline Duet it dodnt have the same hook to it and it wasn't until the very last epilogue that i felt similar intensity. It was a good story but being in the same world as Haunting Adeline it was a bit disappointing. But I hope there will be another book following another character in the series.
