After reading Empath, Book 1 in the Flawed Series, last year, I was super excited to see this release from Becca J. Campbell. Pulled is a short story within that series, and it is a departure from Empath as it introduces readers to new characters.The first character readers meet is 8-year-old Juniper, who has the ability to get pulled to people with other individuals with special powers. At first I was worried that Juniper's being eight would prevent me from falling into the story, but that proved to not be the case as I was hooked from the first page as Campbell describes the feeling that comes over Juniper as she starts to be pulled. Can you imagine jumping through space and ending up hours away from where you just were? This is what Juniper deals with on top of being in foster care, and of course no one understands that she isn't some run-away. Her situation makes Juniper mature for her years, but she still exhibits child-like qualities that I found endearing and I took to her right away.Ronen, who you don't meet until halfway through is also special, and her interactions with Ronen from the apprehensive beginning to the end were enjoyable. You could definitely feel the change between the two over a span of a few short pages. Dr. Aven and Asher don't come into Pulled until the end, and I still have so many questions about them and I just want more.Pulled is fully capable of being a standalone story, but I would really enjoy meeting up with Juniper, Ronen, Dr. Aven, and Asher again even if only in a series of short stories rather than a full book. It could be a fun way to weave characters together throughout all of the books in the series.Well done, Becca Campbell, I look forward to more from the Flawed Series.
