Review: a beautifully rendered vision of love

It's taken me far longer to read and review this short than it should have, but I think that delaying the read actually made this short `prequel' to the series far more meaningful to me.  In this short, Almeida and Aubrey introduce us to Conor and Maeve, parents of Trevor, a lead character in the series.  We are provided a glimpse into those few hours before they disappear without a trace, leaving Trevor with a colossal mystery that weighs on his heart and is the impetus for many of his choices to come.What you do see is a beautifully rendered vision of love: the love that guides, fulfills and ultimately, the one that you will sacrifice it all for.  Both Maeve and Conor are briefly but completely drawn, leaving readers with the sureness of their love for one another, and their only son.  And not much else but a desire to find out what happened.  And to do that, one needs to read the other books in the series, and that will be no hardship.  Another lovely short that provides a touch of insight into the motivations and mystery that threads throughout the whole of the Countermeasure series.I purchased this copy for my own enjoyment shortly after release. I was not compensated for this review, and all conclusions are my own responsibility.
