According
to the prophecy pronounced upon the Scott brothers, Dennison
Scott has to find the woman to keep him from succumbing to
the darker side of his powers. Without her, he could go
from being a healer to being a killer.
Denn is
already happily in a committed relationship with Jake. Of
course, it doesn’t keep Denn or Jake from lusting after
Raven, the comatose witch and hunter they’ve been taking
care of for weeks.
There might
also be a possibility that Raven is Denn’s empathetic mate.
Raven has come up against the Scott brothers in the past.
If she is part of the prophecy will she cooperate? Can
they trust her? And how will Jake feel about sharing his
lover with the woman who may be destined to be with Denn?
The
Healing continues the story of the Scott brothers’
prophecy. The pace of this installment moves along very
quickly. In some areas things went a bit too fast;
especially, the conflicts that Raven, Jake and Denn face
together. I felt these characters needed more time to
develop and earn trust and forgiveness while working out
resolutions. Still, this didn’t seem to lessen the
intensity of the bond between them because their connection
is instantaneous from the start.
I was thrown off guard by a couple of revelations, which is
always nice. The plot, dialogue, and characters are all a
good fit, and if it weren’t for the hot sex and explicit
scenes, this series could work well on television the way
Charmed did for years. Leave in the steamy sex and it
would certainly be a hit on HBO. And that’s certainly
enough incentive to check out this series. |
