Reactions and Reviews

Cold Sweat is the first story in a very nice series, but really, read everything this author ever wrote, because she is awesome. Here's a link to her Sentinel stories. Go. Read. I love the way she writes Jim and Blair. They sound and act just like they do on TV. It's truly amazing.

"Cold Sweat" and its sequel "Slow Burn" by Pares. These stories are part of a series and you should read them all, but I just really like these. "Cold" is pre-slash where Jim has to save Blair's life (again!) and then has trouble sleeping (as usual!). It sounds familiar, but you've never really read that plot device until you've read these. Pares does a super job leading us through the boys' thoughts and confusion. In "Slow," Blair decides that what they really need to do is just get out of town so they can talk their issues out and then see if they can figure out what to do about them. But have you ever known the Sentinel and his Guide to go anywhere without disaster tailing them all the way? Of course not! Blair ends up in one smelly bit of trouble but it's all a lot sexier than you'd think.
