From the publisher: Frank McGuire is beginning to think the City has become a melting pot for serial killers. Another maniac is stalking the streets, only this time the deviant isn't tracking Goth girls, but gay college students. Rumors surface that put Frank's life in jeopardy, and somehow he must protect Rand from the carnage about to unfold. What he didn't count on was Rand becoming the killer's next victim. Elements: scenes of intense sexualityAfter reading Crossroads and having such a strong reaction to it, I decided that I had to see the trilogy through to the end to see how these characters evolve and come together as a couple. This second installment does indeed include those scenes of "intense sexuality" that the blurb warns us about, but in this instance it is obviously consensual, and while it is intense, I didn't find it off-putting. Rand still seems younger than his character is, and Frank still seems older. I suppose that can be expected since Frank is a hard-boiled P.I. who former partner died in his arms. He is definitely the dominant in his relationship with Rand, and Rand does seem to need that in his immaturity. The author herself has stated that Frank is hard to like, and I've thought about that a lot. I guess it would be pretty boring if every book I picked up was full of nothing but sunshine, roses, and boy scouts. However, there were a couple of times when I wanted Rand to smack Frank and smack him hard. Toward the end of the book, it's obvious that both characters are growing. Frank seems to be admitting to himself that he does love the younger man, and Rand turns the tables on Frank, becoming the aggressor by waiting for Frank with a mask and gun.The mystery element was there in the story, but I think Diablo telegraphed the identity of the murderer just a bit. All in all, these characters are growing on me, and I will read book 3 because I have a feeling that Frank and Rand have some discoveries to make in their relationship. ( )

In this second book by Keta Diablo, Rand is going to college and living with Frank. The book opens up with a sadistic serial killer in the house of one of Rand’s classmates, and is killed.

This second story starts off running and does not let up. It is a novella, but like book one, it is a suspenseful, sexy thriller.

Frank is in love with Rand, but refuses to give into this side of his self. He tries to maintain a strong façade, yet he keeps having visions of Rand’s death. When he gets called in to help with the investigation of the killings, he finds out that the man who killed his partner escaped jail, and is after Frank.

Fearful for Rand’s life, Frank sends him back to his mother, which was a mistake, because there are two stalkers going after two very different things.

This is another look into the life of Frank who is somewhat psychic and is tough as hell. He sometimes struggle wit his feelings for Rand, but overall he is a protector. This book is definitely character driven.

The sex scenes between the men are about dominance and submission. But underneath their play, is a love that runs’ deep.

While not a super complex story, it is reminiscent of a film noir: the hard boiled detective and the gritty underbelly of certain denizens who stop at nothing to kill their next victims.

Bottom line I give the story a 4. For such a short novella, it reads fast and keeps pace from beginning to end. It is intense but never tender, not even Rand. Don’t let it pass you by!

Rating: You Need To Read, Reviewer: Laura Moreno
Our second highest score!

Review:
This book highlights Rand’s attempt to deny his sexuality and Frank’s quest to help him cross the line willingly.

The dialogue and the set up for the scenes are phenomenal. Great thought has got to be put into whose limbs go where and how certain positions are accomplished. I find Ms. Diablo to be flawless in that regard.

The mystery portion of the story seems to be the back story, but I think the reader can decide what the main story line is and what the minor story line is. Bringing in a character that is integral to Rand and Frank’s past is fantastic. It allows for more emotion than instinct when it comes to unraveling the killer. Crossroads Revisited is a great read and definitely worth not only buying but reading over and over again.
