I’ve just finished the latest Anita Blake novel by Laurell K. Hamilton and I have to say I did not enjoy it. I was hooked on the Anita series last year by a friend and I got and enjoyed the first 6 books or so. I got a couple of friends hooked on them aswell. It’s a fantasy series with loosely the same story as BTVS, but nothing like it. I did’nt like the 7th and 8th book in the series, instead of sex being used at all in the story, it became a much larger and unnecessary part of the story. I picked up the 9th book for a flight form DC to London late last year and I really enjoyed it. Back to the basics of the character and without the annoying large support cast. A really good read, I was hoping the books were back on track….boy was I wrong. My other half picked up the newly published 10th book over the weekend and once she was done, I started it. Now more than 50% (closer to 75%) of the entire book is sex and it’s just not needed. Sure for this story line there needs to be something in there. I don’t have a problem with anything like that, but you know it’s not what I want from this author / character….

not sure exactly how I want to say this or what I want to say, but I want my series back, not the porn that currently passes for it 🙁
