I loved Protected by Jerusha Agen. This is a prequel novel to her new Security League series. This story hooked me from the first line and I zinged right through the story. Being a novella, it was a quick read, but it was full of suspense. Sometimes with novellas I feel like I don't really get to know the characters, but the author did a wonderful job fleshing out the characters and making me care about them. Learning what Tamara had gone through was heartbreaking. But she was learning to trust God and trust others, though it wasn't an easy thing to do. When Jenkin first shows up to save the day she doesn't trust him at all and doesn't understand why he is there to protect her. Even when she realizes who hired him, she struggles with trusting him.
There was a lot of action and danger and suspense in this book. I enjoyed seeing the relationship between Tamara and Jenkin evolve.
This was a great story, but as with all novellas, I just wish it was longer so I could have spent more time with the characters.
I received an e-copy of this book as a member of the launch team and was not required to write a favorable review. These are my own honest thoughts.
