This was just a fun, quick read and I thoroughly enjoyed the story. E.J Wesley keeps the suspense going throughout the book. I'd never read a novelette before but I have to admit, I'll be reading a lot more now.The story, set in modern times in a small town in Texas is about a young woman, Jenny who discovers two gifts given to her by her Apache ancestors - one - a non-tangible gift she has no choice but to keep whether she wants it or not. We've all been there, so you know what I mean. Except that Jenny's gift is requires her to perform certain acts - the act of saving people from dangerous beings.  So it's a good thing the other gift is a tomahawk.I loved Jenny from the start of the book. She's independent and different, and doesn't care if others like her or not. She hasn't discovered her future yet and she's wondering whatever will become of her. She's all alone with no other relatives. Lucky for her, her best friend, Marshal stands beside her no matter what.The book starts out when Jenny receives a mysterious email from someone claiming to be her grandfather, whom Jenny was told had been dead for a long time.I loved Author Wesley's descriptions - whether it was people or places or action. He goes into quick detail and makes you feel as if you're right there with Jenny and Marshal, experiencing all their emotions including fear. Can you imagine finding out you're a protector of people and have to deal with dangerous creatures that you didn't know existed? Could you do it? I couldn't.
