Title: Talen
Author: Rebecca Zanetti
Series: Dark Protectors #7.9
This was a quick almost “slice of life” novella featuring the first mated couple, Talen and Cara. They are on their way to deliver blood samples to one of the land when they are attacked by demons. After multiple attacks they finally realize what the demons were after and the conflict ends.
It was nice to see how the Kayrs are coping with peace, which is not very well. They are still in overprotective mode and expect everything to go wrong. It was fun watching Cara try to get Talen to relax a little. I liked that she was pushing him to treat her normal since she isn’t sick anymore and he doesn’t have to baby her. I also liked that she was kicking ass when danger happened. She didn’t hide behind her husband or son.
This was short, sweet, and filled with action. A nice little side addition that adds more to the world and characters.
