Review: Threshold

Threshold by Jordan L. Hawk
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Hmm. The plot in this installment is limping on all four legs. Really? Aliens? Can we stick with something less vulgar? Anyway, there are exactly two full-size erotic scenes again, well written, just as in Widdershins, and a scatter of "little moments", but that's about all that goes for this book. This book also finally made me to do some historical context query, due to continuing references to bathhouses solely as gay brothels or something to that effect. Educate me! Somebody! According to Wikipedia, the bathhouses brought to Europe by Crusaders quickly turned into brothels, but it was some 300-400 years before the time the book is set in. I didn't find such a reference about American bathhouses. Moreover, it appears that first public bathhouses in the US were build around 1890 (!!?), which means not long before the action in the book took place. Were they build with a questionable reputation to begin with? Sounds weird.
