I got a couple of friends hooked on them aswell. It&#8217;s a fantasy series with loosely the same story as BTVS, but nothing like it. I did&#8217;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&#8230;.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&#8217;s just not needed. Sure for this story line there needs to be something in there. I don&#8217;t have a problem with anything like that, but you know it&#8217;s not what I want from this author \/ character&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>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 \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve just finished the latest Anita Blake novel by Laurell K.
