This isn't exactly a novella but it is a much shorter addition to the series that features our favorite task force members who as usual are working hard to keep Atlanta safe. The story revolves around a couple of the non-task force members. Officer Mason and his partner are on beat patrol when they find Jesse Holstrom who has been wandering the streets homeless and broke after traveling to Atlanta after a friend invites him to stay with him. However, said friend was arrested for procession of drugs, on his way to pick Jesse up from the bus station. In some ways this was a blessing in itself, however it left Jesse alone in a strange, sometimes dangerous city, struggling. One of his saviors...Ellis Mason, is smitten with him and after show more Jesse nearly starving and freezing to death, Mason convinces Jesse to trust him and their relationship begins. There is, of course a much larger story before we get to the happy ever after part...but it's well worth the wait. show less

A great short installment in this fantastic series. There are many side characters that I've met along the way that I've wanted to get to know more about and this story satisfied that.
Great addition. Given Mason is not part of the official God/Day team at the moment, it will be interesting to see how MCs Ellis Mason & Jessie Holstrom feature in the upcoming stories, if at all.

Narrated by Aiden Snow - excellent.
