I miss these characters so much!! Told from Reyes Alexander Farrow's POV, he tells us how he first saw Charley as a dream and how her light would heal him and give him comfort. Then he sees her, standing before him, saving his life. Well, if you know their story, you will love this book!!

"I do that. Inspire hatred for no reason. I figure it’s part of who I am."

Bruh. Why is this book listed as 8.5 in the series?? If I'd read this directly after book 1, I would have had NO PROBLEM with the romance that I didn't understand at all because it seemed so one-sided/not-there-at-all.

This is pretty much the entirety of book 1 only from Reyes' point of view. It explains SO MUCH. Seriously, I wish I'd read it then, but I'm glad I got to read it at all. Humanizes the hell out of the demon-spawn!

The only book in this series that actually made me feel somet for the characters. Reyes’ pov was a nice breath of air after having tead charley’s childish one for 8 books in a row.

I very much enjoyed this book that is between book 8 and 9! It was awesome being able to get a real full life back story for Reyes and his childhood growing up all the way to his time in prison. You get to see things from his point of view and what it was like for him to basically Astor project and visit Charley. The only part that was very difficult for me to read was the scene when Charley was almost a victim as a child from that pedophile. A great book to fill in some blanks as well.

It was ok, it was just a bit slow. I don't feel like I got any real insight into Reyes, he was also a bit too perfect at times - isn't he meant to be a General in Hell?

Follows Reyes story from his early childhood to when he meets Charley as an adult. Interesting, but I don't think it tells us anything new. Always nice to read more about Reyes though!

Finally we got a peek into Reyes POV. He is one of my all time favorite book boyfriends, he is just so mysterious. This novella is a perfect addition to the series, and I hope we will get more of these novellas in the future. This book is sad and dark but also shows how protective Reyes is of the people he loves, he sacrifices himself to save them. I just loved how he watched over Charley from the start. He has been through so much and my heart broke every time something bad happened to him. :( This novella gives a great background story to Reyes. I wouldn't have minded if it was a full length novel, I just can't get enough of him.

Now I need it to be January so I can read book #9!! I recommend this to every Charley Davidson series fan!! (Normally I don't read novellas but come in IT'S REYES POV!!!)

I loved this look into Reyes' past told from his point-of-view.
