Observations of a Slash Slut:
Serena's Review serena@magnet.at
This is the follow-up novella to GrisGris, a gorgeous story that featured Joel and his family in New Orleans and the way Blair was brought into an amazing spider's web of voodoo and magic and - finally - love. Sigh - I love GrisGris, go read Debra's observations on it; All I can add is "Amen, Sister!".
Retribution picks up a few weeks after GrisGris (note that Passages comes as the third novella in the series!), starting out with the outstanding love between Jim and Blair and the way this love has changed both men. Their world tilts though, when an enemy from the past comes back to get his revenge on both the sentinel and the guide.
As always with Tami's stories, they're extremely well written - she has a way to lure the reader into an angsty, exciting world of an outstanding crime-story that had me glued to the pages the whole time. After taking a look at black magic in the former novel, this time she shows how a computer might turn into a tool for evil.
And yet, when push comes to shove and the story concludes, once again it's Jim and Blair who stand together and fight for their own survival and the survival of their love. We therefore get to see feisty Blair when he has to choose between ingrained principles and his partner in every sense of the word.
Once again Tami manages to include all the "minor characters" like Simon (brilliantly written, with lots of hints to the TV-show's ending), Megan, Serena and Dan Wolf (and his native American heritage) into her vision of The Sentinel. Thank God (and the printers) that the third novella was already available!
Warning: It's
short hair Blair, but it's growing!
