I had no interest in Indy when she appeared in Possession and I still have none after reading Regret. Another character who you just have to accept is deeply floundering in obsession/love. Really, does this author know the difference? Indy would have been a more likable character if we wern't introduced to her as being in love with Jag. This could've made me want to know about her, but no, huge fail. The only interesting part in this whole thing was that someone actually died, finally. It only t...more
WOW! I'm so glad I got a chance to read this story! I learned so much about Jag in this story, and the Badlands, and the resistance. It is told from his old girlfriend's POV, Indy. So yes, we find out that Indy was an old girlfriend of his--actually up until the week before he left the Badlands! I thought I was going to hate her at first, but she is actually a very tough bad ass girl in her own right. And something tells me she might be Jag's and Vi's only hope in upcoming events! I am thinking...more
I love Johnson's voice. That was my main thought through this short bridge novella (is that what it's called? I have no idea) along with the thought that I just think Jag is super fly. I can't wait to see how things shake out in the next (Surrender, coming out next week, woot woot!) novel. While I don't necessarily love all the tech in the novels, I can totally look past it because Johnson's characterizations are SO good!!! Love!
This novella is narrated by Indy, who is Jag's ex-girlfriend and also second-in-command in the Resistance. She played a minor role in Possession, and I was not really sure what to expect from this book written from her point of view.
I am pleasantly surprised by how much I did enjoy this book! In my opinion, Indy comes across as much more mature than Vi so the book takes on a completely different tone. Indy is bright and brave, and she is smart enough hold her cards close to her chest and always...more

Honestly, I couldn't have cared less about Indy, and this was though only a short novella, it was still too long of a try to make me care and sympathize. She was annoying, she wasn't in love with Jag, she was obsessed with him on an unhealthy level.
Why the four stars then? Because of Jag. Because we can learn a few new things about him, and that's great.
I have nothing more to say. Maybe that I'm not looking forward to meet Indy again.

There will be spoilers from book 1, Possession.
I would never have expected this ebook to be narrated by Indy. And I would never have expected to love an ebook narrated by Indy. But this story was so interesting. It tied in perfectly with Possession. And it told us a part of the story that we never knew was happening. I thoroughly enjoyed this ebook.
I am not sure if this was the intent at all, but I actually ended up sort of disliking Jag because of this story. Yes, Indy had sort of already broke...more
This series just keeps getting better! I was a bit on the fence after reading "Possession" (book one), but after reading both "Resist" and "Regret", it is safe to say that I'm really enjoying where Johnson is taking this series.
Given how short "Regret" is (it isn't really 84 pages as Amazon states; there are two chapters from both "Possession" and "Surrender" included), I wasn't expecting much. But Johnson manages to pack a punch in this short. There's so much that goes on in these six chapters....more

I absolutely LOVE this series, but was somewhat disappointed with this installment. I had hoped to get a deeper look into Jag's past, especially his relationship with Indy, but came away from this with only more questions. In hindsight, I would have preferred that Regret was written in Jag's POV. It's a great novella, and I would recommend it to anyone who has read Possession...I guess I just had somewhat higher/different expectations.
