Linger (Rebel #4)

I’ve always known where I ranked in every aspect of my life.
Parents? Not the favorite twin.
Military? Dangerous scapegoat.
Women? Practically a god—they’re welcome.
Mafia? Irreplaceable member of the family.
When Willow Bennett moves into our little town, I find that confidence rocked for the first time by how guarded she is.
But that secretive smile and those dancing eyes keep drawing me back to her as if falling in love isn’t a danger I never wanted to put on anyone.
And now that danger is knocking on our door. Demanding atonement for a choice my family made years ago. Attempting to ruin the peace we’ve been living in.
Threatening to destroy everything.
But in our world, rebellions aren’t a phase; they’re an oath. A way of life.
And I’m the unassuming Rebel you need to watch out for.
Nearly every word out of my mouth might drip with sarcasm, but that doesn’t diminish my aim. More than that, you can’t escape me because I’m a bloodhound.
The name’s Diggs.
There’s nothing and no one I can’t track down. If I’m looking for you, you might as well start praying because I’m about to be the last thing you see.
“I’m a mother fucking bloodhound baby.”
Y’all.
When I tell you that this book was everything we’ve been waiting for and more, I mean that with every part of me. I know I say this with every book Molly releases, but this is it. This is the one we’ve been waiting patiently for, I mean as far as Molly knows I’ve been patient, but this series? It is hands down my favorite and I’d likely kill to have more words from these characters for ever.
Diggs has been one of my wish list characters since we met him in Firefly. When Limit ended and we thought it was the end of the Borellos forever, I was devastated to think we’d never actually see his happy ending. I love his witty and occasionally innapropriate comments, the love he has for his family and how he protects others. If you’re caught up on the whole series, whether it be with Linger or not, then you know what happens in Limit and that had me on the edge of my seat, but nothing like this book. Molly absolutely gutted me this and I will absolutely be revisiting these characters again in the future, I can never stay away for too long.
Willow is honestly perfect for him. I honestly don’t think we could have asked for a better person for Diggs to end up with. I mean who else is going to support Diggs love for food like Willow does? Or walk into a room full of mafia and be okay with it? Especially someone like Kieran? He is one scary mother fucker. But it’s no surprise that I love him, forever my favorite character.
I know I said it already but when I tell y’all that Molly absolutely gutted me with certain scenes in Linger, I mean that with every fiber of my being. The amount of times I said “no!” surpass the messages I sent her while reading this book. I stayed up until 4:30 in the morning to finish this book because I knew if I didn’t I wouldn’t be able to focus at work the next night. I was in denial for the last good chunk of this book and finally admitted what had taken place actually happened, but I didn’t fully acknowledge that until I read “the end”
Overall, Molly blew it out of the water with this book. Very much worth the wait and the agony.
I laughed at Diggs love for food.
How much him and Einstein fight over scones.
His love for his family.
His witty comments.
His sometimes inappropriate comments.
His eventual realization of the depths of his feelings for Willow.
Every time Maverick and Diggs get ready to fight a new round of enemies and ask “you alive?”
His agony over thinking he’s the only reason something happened.
Willow.
I honestly could not have asked for a better story or a better author to create such a world. And I can’t wait to see what else Molly’s devious mind comes up with next.

Molly grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her husband, daughter, and fur babies. When she’s not diving into the world of her characters, some of her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling, and long walks on the beach … which roughly translates to being a homebody with her hubby and dishing out movie quotes. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies and fried pickles, and loves curling up in a fluffy comforter during a thunderstorm … or under one in a bathtub if there are tornado’s. That way she can pretend they aren’t really happening.
