This is a prequel to Thieves at Heart but can definitely work as a standalone story as well. I began reading Thieves at Heart but decided I wanted to know more about Tavera to start so I settled down to read Little Girl Lost and I was not disappointed at all. This story has wonderful flow and divulges just the right amount of background to keep the story compact yet hold your interest and make you gain a lot of compassion for Tavera.Tavera a small half-elf child has had an extremely tough life already and is determined to do what she needs to make things easier for herself and keep a roof over her head and food in her belly. She is a very easy to connect to character and I was rooting for her and hoping her story would have a happy ending. Things seem to start off well for Tavera when she is bought by a creepy old lady to do work around her shop only to go horribly wrong just a short time later, due in part to Tavera's childlike curiosity. Yet, the author allows this story to end in a happy place for Tavera before picking up again in Thieves at Heart.I really enjoyed the author's writing style. It was extremely descriptive and gave you the ability to imagine the sights, sounds and smells taking place in the story. I would highly recommend this to anyone and can't wait to finish reading what happens to Tavera next.
