Brighter Than the Sun by Darynda Jones
5.0
For fans of the series- this is a total must read!!
*******************SPOILERS***********************
A long time coming this Novella was! And if I'm honest, the only downside was that it didn't have to be a novella. I'm pretty sure this could easily have been made into a full book.
Anyway....we see Reyes from when he's a boy....from the days with Earl, then when he sees Dutch, her real name, how he thinks she's a dream....all the way through prison and right up to the time when Charley finally pieced the puzzle together to figure out who he was and to make sure he put his astral projected ass back into his corporeal body before they pulled the plug on him.
this gave me several new view point angles on Reyes. obviously no child should have gone thru what he did, so so much heartache for him...he's so loyal- to his sister and best friend. He doesn't go out of his way to fight but will defend and yes kill if he needs to.
And the most shocking revelation. at least to Reyes, is his true identity which, he doesn't remember until Charley kisses his corporeal body.
So, he's not this "kill first, ask questions later" , satans son that he does try to uphold....at least to the outside world! he's had a lot thrown at him. He's had to fight for everything and I think he's truly surprised, still, that Charley loves him.
If you love the series, you'll love this. There's nothing NOT to love!
Thank you Ms Jones for this- we need another now, as we watch them fight for Beeps survival!!
