![]() ![]() Winter has some deliciously devious moments which I loved, but I do wish Gehrman would have spent a bit more time on her background. I didn't realize this, but I have read one other novel by Gehrman and apparently didn't love it, but I'm so glad I have revisited her work because I wouldn't have wanted to miss The Protégé. ![]() I think they were 100% perfect for their characters, and it made me manage to love Hannah even more by listening to the audio. Hence, perfection.Īnother bonus is that the audiobook is fantastic and both Cindy Kay & Jess Nahikian really stole the show as the two MCs. The pacing was perfect and while I wouldn't call it fast-paced, I definitely wouldn't say it is slow either. While you basically know what is going on, there are still some surprises that pop up, and I was anxiously waiting to find out what Winter's deal was. The book alternates between Hannah's and Winter's viewpoints, sometimes in the same chapter (with labels for 0 confusion), and I loved this method so much. Hannah Bryers?! I think half of the reason I loved The Protégé so much is because I absolutely loved her character and while she is the most awkward forensics expert/Anthropology professor ever, she is incredibly smart as well, so it totally worked for me. I don't know about anyone else, but dear Jody Gehrman, may I PLEASE have a series with Dr. "when will Hannah figure it out" not "who is behind this frame-up." Good pacing, no major shocker moments, and the revenge was well crafted. This is more of a psychological thriller that makes readers think. It's clear what will happen, maybe not exactly when and how, but that's totally acceptable in this case. All that said, it kept me glued to the pages, and I never found myself bored or disinterested in the outcome. I won't say anymore as I want others to decide for themselves. I sympathized with her, but I felt like the true reasoning behind her attacks wasn't strong enough. Winter, the villain, had several brilliant moments, but I also wished her anger was allowed to play out more, specifically in terms of what had happened to her as a child. I loved Hannah, who despite some flaws, was a genuinely good professor with a bit of a strange personality. It was a delicious mystery with a balanced perspective between the mentor and the protege. I've been reading her books the last few years and enjoying the plots when this one appeared on NetGalley, I requested a copy and was lucky enough to win one. The Protege is Jody Gehrman's latest thriller, set to be released in a few months. She has to figure out who is sabotaging her career and killing people her life depends on finding answers. As the incidents become deadly, many suspects come to light. When dangerous mistakes are made in her lab, Hannah has no idea who would have it out for her and would be willing to risk students’ lives. In alternating narratives, Winter systematically robs Hannah of the things she values most: her reputation, her job, and-ultimately-her safety. She’ll stop at nothing to make her life implode. She’s smart, cunning, and dedicated, but she’s got her own agenda for coming to Mad River: to bring Hannah Bryers down. Winter Jones is Hannah’s most promising graduate student. When she’s not teaching, she analyzes the decomposing flesh of murder victims around the globe. Hannah Bryers, anthropology professor and forensics expert at the prestigious Mad River University, takes pleasure in examining corpses, but small talk and living people fill her with dread. Jody Gehrman pits the drive for revenge against the equally vital will to survive, in this chilling psychological suspense novel in the vein of Samantha Downing and Layne Fargo.ĭr.
