I have been a fan of the show castle for quite some time now. I have enjoyed the Nikki Heat books for the simple reason that watching the show we as the viewer get to watch Castle write them and then after the season finale the book releases. Granted I know Richard Castle is a fictional character and ghost writers write these it is easier to refer to the author as Castle.Before Castle began writing the Nikki Heat series he was known for a character named Derrick Storm. Castle felt he was done with this character and kills him off. This Novella begins with us as the reader finding out Storm isn't dead. He wanted out of the CIA and the only way to do that was to fake his own death. Hiding out in Montana under a different identity he is tracked down by a former friend. He is pulled into a case involving the kidnapping of a senator's son. Seeming there is more to this case than kidnapping Storm is determined to find out exactly what he has gotten into.This was a great read. Even though it is an ebook novella it is part of a much larger story. This story does somewhat wrap up, which is a bit frustrating, but it leads the way into the next novella coming out in July. Even though this is part one of three possibly, there was very little down time while characters were introduced. The intrigue and suspense was always there and I was hooked early on. Now I look forward to the other novellas in this series. Not long to wait with part 2 coming in July and part 3 currently set for August. For any fan of Castle I would say this is a must read. For those who may not be a fan of the show, or never seen it; It still makes for a great suspense read.
