Earp & Chandra by C.P. RiderMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Great Novella
Novella’s are tricky things to write. They are a bit easier for established series, where the world building and characters are already created and fully rounded, but that still leaves the author trying to fit a nicely complete plot in between the covers.
This novella helps round out some of the back story for Chandra and Earp, as is indicated by the title. The story is firmly located in the main series timeline, between books 2 and 3, but it discusses the past of both characters and shares more about their roles within the community. A quick note that this is not a romance between Earp and Chandra, this is story of their friendship.
I have to say after reading this I love both characters even more than I did before. Chandra is a ruthless assassin, but she has a hidden heart. She is passionately loyal to Lucas and the Blacke Group after finding a home for the first time in her life. She employs all her honed skills and instincts for preserving the lives of those she is loyal to.
Earp has always come across as a grumpy hermit, which he was to a large extent, however he still enjoys being part of the Group. He started dating Dottie, the witch, in the previous books but we get to see how he perceives the relationship for the first time in this book.
We also see how these two different loners share a connection, almost despite themselves.
it’s a great novella and fills in some gaps in the characters personalities and histories that I found enlightening as well as entertaining. Definitely worth downloading.
