I had forgotten that this story sorta started its life as as an Uber Xena story I think. That could definitely be seen in the narrative though, and boy was it a narrative.

It was about Dez, a police officer for St. Paul. She saves a young woman, Sara, and her roomie Jaylynn from rapists. That causes Jaylynn to enroll in the St. Paul police academy to become a police officer as well. Of course, because this is fiction, eventually Dez becomes Jaylynn's field training officer, and that's when things get very interesting. There's a lot of back and forth and some interesting police stuff too, as well as a body builder's competition.

It did take me a while to get into the flow of the book. It's a very dense plot, with something always going on, the plot always plowing forward. I could also see a lot of the places that the series might go too., although if this had been a stand alone I think it would have worked too.

I liked t he characters (well, I liked the ones I was supposed to like, and disliked the ones I was supposed to dislike I think). They were all definitely unique. I would have liked to see more of Jaylynn's roomies Jim and Sara, but they were different and unique too.

I will admit sometimes the Dez characterization confused me a bit, it seemed all over the place. but it seemed to flow with the story so I just went with it.… (lisätietoja)
