Reactions and Reviews

Overall I enjoyed the three stories, but I do have some complaints. If I wanted to read K/S, I'd pull out one of a zillion K/S zines I own. Blake is bashed in this. Hey, this Blake is so totally untrustworthy and so stupid that everyone, including Avon, wonders why Avon loves him. And this Avon is rather "off." I guess I just don't see him cooking up a storm, talking babytalk, and weeping hysterically....

Quite original in some ways. Way to much K/Siness. And I absolutely did not like the end. This is not a Bizarro story. (I love them, but their weird over-the-top zaniness does not belong as a conclusion to this trilogy.

The relationship between Cally and Jenna is described more fully in the sequel, 'Coming Out of the Dark', although Randell mainly concentrates on Jenna's decision to have a child with Blake - the result of a night where Avon simultaneously makes love to Cally, who muses afterwards that, 'if she'd have any idea, even the slightest inkling that a man could be such an incredible lover, and that Avon was such a man, she'd have thrown herself at him years ago... Jenna was her partner, her love, but Avon would always hold a piece of her heart.'
