Off the Grid (Jane Yellowrock #7.5)

This novella was so packed with action and information it felt more like a full book, in short form. A must read, plus the narration was great.

Jane is sent to Clan Glass in Tennessee after they requested Leo’s help. She finds out upon arrival that their head of security, Heyda Cohen had a meeting with the local cult church leader and went with them willingly. Her security team didn’t think anything of it until she failed to return. Ming Zhane, the Glass Clan Blood Master, wants Jane to rescue Heyda as soon as possible. While doing her research, Jane finds that Nell Ingram and her late husband own the property next to the church. Nell is different but Jane isn’t sure at first what she’s feeling from the young woman. Nell is their best chance of rescuing Heyda if they can convince her to help.

Nell’s character will have a spin-off series titled Soulwood, with the first book Blood of the Earth coming out August 2nd. Nell has a checkered past and an interesting story which should make for a good addition to the JY world.

Read the spoilers section below for a quick recap before starting book number 1 of the Soulwood series titled Blood of the Earth.

***Spoilers***
Jane learns when visiting Nell at her home that she has some kind of magic, that isn’t witch magic, but connects her to the forest around her. She also learns that Nell somehow escaped the cult but she is very private with the details. She’s only 22, didn’t graduate high school but is self-educated. The cult had blocked local law enforcement from searching their property after receiving complaints of child abuse. While rescuing Heyda, the group also assists the cops in getting onto the property where 138 children are rescued from physical and sexual abuse. Yummy, nicknamed by Jane, was one of the vamps in the rescue mission who Jane sincerely likes because of her kindness to two of the girls held hostage. She takes off with the leader and hopefully tortured him with the same malice he abused his people with. At the end, Jane visits Nell and tells her that because of their involvement she may not be safe anymore but that she is sending Rick and Psyled who may be able to help her. She tells Jane to go away and leave her in peace.

5 Stars… Very rarely, if ever, do I give 5 stars to a novella, but this one just grasped me from the start… It is set in the Jane Yellowrock series and introduces the MC, Nell, from the spin-off series, Soulwood… The storyline for this read was thrilling and appalling at the same time; focusing in on a sadistic cult that has kidnapped a vampire who is the head of security for Clan Glass… These circumstances lead Jane to Tennessee to retrieve the vamp, but she discovers Nell in the course of her investigation and is intrigued by the recluse… We are given some tidbits of information regarding Nell’s background and hints as to the depths of her powers… I am now extremely excited to get started on the Soulwood series and discover all the hidden truths about Nell:)

This is the first novella or short story I have listened to in this world. It still revolves around Jane; it takes place outside of New Orleans and centers around a different set of characters. Jane is brought in to help solve the problem of a missing vampire.

This story, though short, was still action-packed, complex, and everything I have come to expect in all of the Jane Yellowrock books. I am rating it 5 Boundless stars; greatness can come in small packages.

n Off The Grid, Nell Ingram, an earth magic user, and the main character in the new Soulwood series, meets Jane Yellowrock who in of her typical Jane fashion, becomes the catalyst for Nells life to take a new direction. Nells background and early life were very harsh, and now, it seems quite lonely so I think she and Jane have some things in common. As always, Jane blasts in like a hurricane changing peoples lives whether they want it or not; she connects Nell with PsyLED and gives her an interesting warning.
