I read this a while ago. I think I liked it fine but I barely remember. I’m estimating based on my love of the series V’s how novellas usually turn out.

Jazz and Gavyn make the mistake of trying to go on a romantic getaway without kids or djinns to interrupt them. But of course they manage to get lost in the dark on a country road in the middle of nowhere and are alarmed to see the wrecked cars littering the road from years of accidents...
I love the dynamic between Jazz and Gavyn, though I do miss not seeing the long suffering Ian trying to get them out of trouble. Jazz wakes alone in a strangers cabin to be given some shocking news and she knows that she has to find a way to escape. But it is not going to be that easy to get away from a djinn called Seth who likes the idea of keeping Jazz as a mate.
This has the right mix of tension and action which I would expect in the series and the plot itself was interesting. I don't want to spoil it but I liked the twists and turns that it took. If you liked the first book in the series, I recommend this as a nice addition.

I prefer my men to be more dominant so this story didn't work well for me, but others may enjoy. Jazz was a likeable tough woman who can take care of herself and her boyfriend when needed

Light
Characters and scene setting are always good though this concluded so suddenly and simply I can’t rate it higher than just average.

Free novella that goes between book one and book two of the series. Interesting to see Jazz's POV.
