Update : I can’t seem to find a good link for the short story online. It’s free, and you’ll get a really good feel for the narrative in the full-length novel. If you haven’t read the novel, check out the short story. If you liked the novel, I recommend the short story. It only strengthened my understanding of Asa’s motives in Inherit the Stars. I loved having that chance to see Wren and Asa interact with one another, to have that real-time look at how their relationship worked.
The writing was powerful and the characters really moving. Inherit the Stars: Reprieve by Tessa Elwood/Running PressĪfter falling face-first in love with Inherit the Stars ( read my review), I HAD to read this short story featuring Asa and her sister Wren (who is unconscious in Inherit the Stars.) I’ve read short stories by authors whose novels I love and been disappointed by the lack of structure (short fiction is not as easy as you think), but this was not the case with Elwood’s tale. Not curious enough to bump it ahead of the rest of my TBR list, though, so for now it’ll have to wait. It’s clear something sinister happened, and we don’t know if our protags are good guys or bad guys.
I was really hooked by the idea that both characters have lost their memories and are scrambling both to pretend they’ve got things under control/run their lives as if nothing’s wrong but also figure out what made them lose their memories. There’s a lot of romantic tension and some sexual content (main characters watch a video that includes a sex scene, thought it’s dark and only sounds are described) and brief violence. In terms of the story, it was definitely a wild ride. The whole series is available as a bundle for $2.99, which is a pretty great deal. It basically seems like a novel broken into three pieces. Of the three parts, I’ve only read Part 1.
I stumbled across this series of novellas on Amazon. Never, Never (Part 1) by Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher / Hoover Ink
