A review by nebulous07
The Candidate by A.D. Hay

4.0

"The Candidate" is the first novella of the Rookie Reporter series. A.D Hay doesn't hold back as she hits the accelerator right from the get-go. This novella is reasonably fast-paced, with multiple characters and times, which can get confusing but hang in there. Certain character progressions (James and Rachel) felt rushed, and reactions (the eye rolls) were repetitive. However, this does not diminish the intricate and exciting plot; woven with history, a past case and suspense.
James Lalonde, the protagonist, is well crafted, and it was wonderful seeing his different sides. I can't wait for the next book! A 4 star read.
