Willa is a companion book to the *ODDILY SERIES* Approx. 5,200 words.
Intended to be read after Maxim: A New Type of Human (Book #2) and before the exciting sequel, Held in Secrecy ( Book #3), Willa is a short story (Book #2.5) about what happened to Willa after the device containing her memories was taken.
SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE FIRST TWO BOOKS OF THE SERIES: In Book #1, Maxim and Nexa traveled back in time to solve the mystery of Oddily’s mother. They viewed firsthand the accident that left Oddily an orphan and at the same time, they solved the mysterious disappearance of the dying body that drove the vehicle into a tree. They also witnessed the bizarre circumstance that saved the driver’s life. Oddily’s mother was given a second chance at life but unfortunately it was in a very unconventional way.
As the story unfolds in Book #2, fate brings Willa and Oddily together again but not without problems. No longer an infant, Oddily had difficulty accepting Willa’s intimidating appearance. But despite her fear, Oddily allowed their friendship to unfold. The truth of Willa’s identity was kept a secret though, for her daughter’s sake. The shock would have been too great.
In Book #2.5 Willa should no longer exist. But she does. Read Willa’s account of what happened after her disappearance.

Willa begins moments after the events of book 2, Maxim and recounts what happens to Willa directly after the orb of light passes through her.
Taken away by the High Council member, Willa wakes up in a science lab and finds she has been rebirthed as a clone of her original self. The novella covers her rehabilitation as she learns to use her body again and the relationship she develops with her primary scientist/doctor person, Charlie.
This was a pretty weak novella. Although it gives further details about what happens after the events of Maxim, it's pretty thin. Willa wakes up, falls in love with Charlie even though they don't speak and then finds out she is being sent back to her timeline. But most novellas are pretty terrible.
interesting how it ended. i can't wait for the next book i want to see if she goes back with her boyfriend/crush? i don't know what to call him but from where Linda left off i know it's going to be good
