So I took a bit of a risk reading this novella because I haven't read the novel that proceeded it. However Melissa did a great job at making this novella new reader friendly. In a few pages the reader is caught up on Cara & Aelyx's relationship. She is an intergalactic exchange student to Aelyx's home planet while he is headed to earth. The 2 have 24 hours to spend together before an extended separation and it's Christmas which makes Cara's emotions equally intense.They are a very sweet couple and this book successfully makes you interested in the book and delivers a sweet holiday tale . Ah, I've missed this world! I was excited to see that we would get a little bit of Cara and Aelyx before Invaded releases (I can't wait). I got through this so fast. My ONLY complaint is that it was TOO short. I know, I know. It's a short, duh. I just wished there was more. Not a negative thing but I just personally want more! They are about to be separated for a year and are spending their last day together. Aelyx is trying to give her a Christmas, a little early. Of course, things get in the way of them spending time together. I really can't wait to get more of Troy's story. Also, the dynamic between Cara and Troy is pretty fun. I am worried that Invaded will have a lot less of Aelyx and Cara, since they will be on separate planets. This was a cute refresher! Can't wait for book 2!
So short man, SO short.I am officially ready for the sequel!
