Jackson And Adin #2
InDescent
Being a powerful, sexually magnetic wizard has its disadvantages. Like inviting the attention of bumbling but persistent rivals. And seductive women. And otherworldly beings.
For Jackson Spey, that isn’t the worst of it. His lover-of-choice is his best male buddy. Who has a disturbing past. And a girlfriend. And feelings Jackson is afraid to return. The legendary Prism of Nezrabi brings all these elements together when it falls into the hands of Spey’s number-one enemy. No ordinary crystal, the Prism is an intricate microcosm wherein all time, space, and dimensions coexist in delicate balance. Humans who’ve been pulled into it have gone mad…or simply never returned.
Through inept or malicious magic, the structure’s integrity has been compromised. A breach has freed creatures thought only to exist in Slavic myth. Nobody but the most qualified Adept can repair the split. But if Jackson Spey descends into Nezrabi’s world, he may have to face something more dreadful than a seemingly impossible task and its potential consequences.
He may have to confront the secrets of his own soul.

For a story that's classified by many as M/M, this book has way too much het shit going on. WAY TOO MUCH.
...
Maybe I'll try again some other time. Because, if it weren't for that misleading quality, it would be a measurably decent story-telling.

t seemed to take me a bit to get started on this one but once I got going I didn't want to stop. More of Jackson (wizard) and Adin (former vampire). Jackson is feeling conflicted about his relationship with Adin, he hardly gets to see him and misses him and some weird shit is starting to happen. At the same time his wizard enemy has devised a cockamamie plan to suck Jackson into a magical crystal and be free of him at last. (Cue evil laughter) While Jackson's trying to figure out what the hell is going on, Adin comes to visit and is starting to revert to vampire which causes problems for the couple as well. In the end Jackson finds out he has to enter the crystal and repair some damage which is letting other worldly creatures out and has to face up to his relationship fears and deal with Adin. It's a very complex story with a spirit guidey thing and Polish fairy tale characters thrown but I really enjoyed it. Some humour, some tears, some danger. I was especially impressed with all the stuff inside the crystal, the imagination (unless KZ's been in said crystal) and also with Jackson having to face up to the realities that is his relationship with Adin and his own personal truth about himself. So a terrific read. I'm looking forward to the next book this weekend. Oh, one of my favourite sentences with a phrase I am going to try and use in the next week or so: Miki had always struck him as a half-bubble off plumb.

Another great addition to the Adin and Jackson saga. I totally love these boys and this book just made me feel even more for them. Jackson is so happy in the beginning of this book, having decided to let his feelings become real and honest, and having Adin return his feelings and love whole-heartedly.
Adin is such an emotionally honest character and he just impresses me more with each book. His desire to not leave Celia in a lurch, to not disappoint and hurt her is truly sweet, and though I want Adin to only be with Jackson, I do feel for Celia as well. I admit I liked that Jackson was starting to get jealous of Adin's relationship with Celia and even his old affairs, as well, and personally, I didn't like seeing Jackson with someone else either. One of the things that is so special about this pairing is the support that they give each other, and most especially, Adin's inner strength and calm nature. He's definitely my fave.
The storyline in this book is really interesting, twisting and turning and making you wonder what would happen next, and as usual, KZ's writing is descriptive and flowing and beautifully heartfelt. She weaves such a great story and I'm going to be sorry when I have to see the last of Adin and Jackson.

Usually K.Z. Snow gets automatically 4 stars from me (if not 5 -> ''Mongrel''), but this was m/f more than m/m. That's why only three stars.
For the rest it is as well written and imaginific as her other books. I confess I've only read this one of the series. i've read ''Fugly'', but Jackson and Adin appear as side characters there.

I really enjoyed this book. It's not the usual fair in paranormal and the characters are well written.
