Review:
Lash is back, or so it seems, and he couldn't have come at a worse time, since Jim and Blair are still trying to trying to get over the whole 'Alex Barnes/Blair drowning/Jim acting like an asshat' fiasco. What I like most about this fic, aside from a lovely mystery (and all of that miscommunication that is the backbone of any angst-ridden fanfic), is that Gayle never forgets that Jim is a sentinel. Even when it would be easier or would help advance the plot to have Jim be oblivious about something he should be able to detect with his senses, Gayle doesn't take the easy way out. It makes for a longer, richer story and I really appreciate the fact that I never have to shout 'Jim! You idiot! Use your senses!' at the computer. Thanks, Gayle!
Just FYI: technically this story is a crossover with The Profiler, but I wouldn't have known that if the author didn't mention it in her notes and, frankly, there's nothing in this fic from the Profiler except a character with a pretty minor role. I think it's best for all involved if you just think of her as an OC and forget the Profiler connection.
