Review: Mad Hatter Reads Review Death's Servant
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 05 7, 2013
My rating: 3.5 out of 5There are three full length books in C.J. Ellison's popular V V Inn series, but many readers had questions regarding the characters prior to start of the series. CJ decided to give her readers a wonderful present, a prequel novella telling the story of how werewolf Jon came to be entwined in the lives of Dria (Vivian) and Rafe's lives. For existing fans it will answer a lot of questions for you and if you're like me, as a new reader to the V V Inn, Death's Servant is an excellent introduction to the series.Jon is a young werewolf who is alpha enough to know that he can't stay in his current pack. He sets off on his own to find his place in the world. Thanks to his protective alpha tendencies, Jon is quickly embroiled in Virginia pack's troubles...Trouble that he's not able to tackle on his own and so he strikes a bargain that will change his life forever.Even though Death's Servant is a quick read, CJ packs a lot into it. We get plenty of action, a nice bit of heat, and a dose of heartache. The entire novella is told through Jon's point of view and we really get a feel for what makes him tick. The characters drew me in so quickly and now I'm dying to know more about them! It's lucky for me that I don't have to wait...isn't it? (hee hee)I received an e-copy via the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
