Read as part of [b:An Apple for the Creature|13543159|An Apple for the Creature (Kate Daniels, #5.3)|Charlaine Harris|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1334181976s/13543159.jpg|19107455] anthology

As my experience proved to be, Rick is not my favorite, but short stories in JY universe told from his pov are the ones I like and enjoy the most.

This covers Rick's training on his new job in PsyLED Spook School for the trainees. He ended up with two furry companions after the events of [b:Raven Cursed|11053874|Raven Cursed (Jane Yellowrock, #4)|Faith Hunter|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327191717s/11053874.jpg|15321609] - baby grindylow called Pea, and werewolf stuck in his wolf form named Brute by Jane. That's half of cuteness there already. :)
It'd procedural story, not very relevant to Jane and overall arc.

Short story from Rick's perspective. Takes place during his training with PsyLED.

I hate Rick.

At least there's Pea. *glares daggers at Rick*

I'm not the biggest fan of Rick. He's an OK character, but not one I'm invested in, and not one I think is a good MC.

This story, while it could be interesting, fell a little flat for me. A lot of it was focused on Rick being sad or angry about how his life changed, and repeating that comment multiple times.

I have to admit I was a tad bored.

We get an introduction of Ricky Bo's training at PsyLEd while he comes to grip with his new team- Pea and Brute. We also get some insights into how he met Soul while working on his first case.

Was a good short story with Rick, Brute and Soul characters. It made me more interested in these characters and what they could do. I could imagine this story being expanded or imagine side stories featuring them doing investigations together.

Given the fact that this is not about Jane herself, I was surprised how much I enjoyed this. Be aware it is not for new readers. I was massively spoiled for books I had not yet read. Luckily I didn't mind.
