These were terrific little stories told from another perspective. Loved them and it finished up the series nicely. This series is so very highly recommended.
** I received a free copy from the author for an honest review **
This was cute. I’m still trying so hard to enjoy these when I hate cal so much haha.
I am really excited about the next spin off series tho! (saven)
I really loved this collection. I definitely recommend reading this along with the series!
I love this short story collection! I loved the True Calling series, so I was ecstatic that there were short story addition to the series! These short stories are a must read for anyone who liked the series. There are definitely spoilers to the series in these short stories, so be sure to read the main books of the series first. The following will have spoilers for the series, so you have been warned!
The first of the short stories is, Torn Apart, which is told in Cal’s POV, which I love! It is the scene when he is separated from Ariana in the first book. Reading this made me want to go back and read the first book, True Calling, all over again! Hopefully I can fit a re-read in soon! It is very short, but it shows how committed Cal is to Ariana!
Next up is, Endings and Beginnings, which is about Cal’s dad and Ariana’s parents, and why there is bad blood between the families. This was about the problems that occurred between the parents when they were younger. Cal’s dad has never been one of my favorite people, but this story did make me feel bad for him. This story did help me understand a bit more where all the parents were coming from.
Third is, Perfect Moment, This one takes place 2 years after the last book in the series, and I loved that there are some Cal and Ariana moments! We also get to see more of Zane, and him moving on with his life. I wasn’t in love with how Zane’s story ends up; I’ve never really enjoyed knowing what happens with the other love interests in love triangles, but I still can appreciate this short story. It was good to get to read more about the characters of the True Calling series!
Lastly is, Under the Mistletoe, which take place 4 years after the last book’s epilogue, and shows the True Calling characters getting together for the holidays. Love my Cal and Ariana moments! We also get some scenes with all the kids, Zane, all the parents, Mel, Lily, and Deacon. I love that there are going to be books about Lily and Deacon! This story has definitely added to my desire to read their books! Hopefully Deacon grows up! This was a cute addition to the series!
Since I am unable to find a separate link for Torn Apart I will put it here, my reviews of the other short stories are in their respective book links.
All I have to say is I could feel the heart ache coming from Cal and was rooting hard for him to get back together with Ariana. Since I already read the entire series this made so much more sense knowing what happened
I am such a HUGE fan of authors doing books like this! I love to read a series and be sitting in that series hangover state and get the satisfaction of the extension of the series by little stories like these, especially contained within a collection so you can read them all at once. I’m also a big fan of getting parts of the story retold from another character’s point of view. We get both in this collection from Ms. Davis and I couldn’t be happier.
In Torn Apart, we get to see Cal’s POV of what happened at the end of True Calling. I am a Team Zane person and so it was interesting and enlightening to get that bit from Cal’s head. It didn’t change my Team mind you, lol, but it was nice to see that side of him and get some insight into how the rest of the story goes.
My favorite part of the collection was Endings and Beginnings. We get to see what happened prior to the events of True Calling and we get insight into one of the least known and explored characters and situations of them all…Anneka Skyee’s! We get to see what happened to cause the animosity and heartbreak within that set of characters.
The other two stories contained in this collection happen after the events of the series. I love this type of story too. Normally, as readers, we only get to imagine what happens to our beloved characters after the books have ended. With these little “epilogue” stories, we actually get to see if our imaginings are correct or at least headed in the right direction. We get to see “happily ever after” play out, or see if one of the characters who wasn’t so happy will be eventually.
If you are a fan of the True Calling series, you will definitely want to read this Collection. I suggest waiting until after reading the series though, to get the full effect of the stories and avoid any spoilers. If you haven’t read True Calling, I do recommend reading that series and the Saven series, as Siobhan Davis’ work is very entrancing and it will pull you in to some amazing worlds.
