Lose Your Breath by DK Hood

This is one novella I have been anxiously waiting for.  To find out more about one of my favourite characters David Kane.  This deals more with his past before he became a deputy and met Jenna.

The first part had me with chills as you are finally going to find out more and the writing was magestic.  I have long wondered about Annie and his work life before his move to Black Rock Falls

Again in this you see the stubbornness of Dave.  He is who he is and you still see protectiveness as well as his usual brash attitude.

Annie is also fun to read about as she seems to be a lot more independent than what I ever thought.  She may be scared but she has a great ability to not show it.

With Shane showing up you could see so much that is good about him.  I love the fact that he shows a lot more of the personality ways.  It was breaking my heart reading about him and his life.

The story was so well thought out and the pace was amazing. While the book is shorter than what I am used to from this author it shows a great ability to work with a character who definitely has changed based on the books.  Going back and showing a less refined character than what he is in the later books had to be hard and it is a great accomplishment to show a regression of Dave.

The story made me feel great fear for both Dave and Annie and so much sympathy for Shane.  It was hard to read as it was an emotional read that really hit all the spots for me.

I think that seeing Dave and Shane who are two of my favourite characters written.  The author has such an amazing ability to make you feel that you are part of the family.  I think that seeing a backstory makes the rest of the series more amazing than it already is as you get to understand the characters in a more intimate way.

The story is emotionally draining I felt like I was on a rollercoaster and I didn’t know when or if I would ever want to get off.  It is one of the best books I have read this year and it had such an amazing story that shows the true man that Dave Kane was and is. 

This book made me love this character even more.
