This one falls somewhere between a 4 1/2 and a 5 for purely selfish reasons.... I want more time with Coop and Sam. *sigh*
I loved the first book in The Hunted series. Maybe the reason I picked up this novella before I even finished Elusive Memories was because I knew that one book about these two wasn’t going to be enough. Regardless, I wasn’t disappointed.

Answers Questions and Hints of What is to Come
This novella stands well on its own. It's a perfect read when you have only a small bit of time and want to read a story from start to finish. It really excels as a follow-up to Elusive Dreams, and as a bridge to the next book. More is revealed about Sam and Coop, plus enough teasers about Janey and the escalating conflict to make it a hard wait for the next book.

I really liked Coop in the first book, so definitely enjoyed this story centered on him. This is a feel good story of someone who willingly sacrificed an important part of himself for the greater good, to ultimately be rewarded beyond his hopes for that selflessness. A good companion piece to Elusive Memories.
