[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 525503, member: 3649"] I've read them all, and generally liked them, but I did wind up returning the last one, like I returned the first book of her other series. I'm certainly not one to argue with there being sex in the book, but it went far too over the top for me in both cases. If you didn't like the sex in the last couple of books, her other series is far, far more offputting in that regard. It might have gotten better, but I stopped reading about page 50 or so. I originally liked it because the series explored more about this world where vampires were only recently granted rights as people. All sorts of other things exist, and people know about them. Then the series gets off on this tangent about her relationship with Jean-Claude and Richard. OK, enough already. She should have made some kind of decision about that situation about three books back and either accepted what was going on or just walked away. Well, OK, she can't really DO that, but still... I want to see more of Anita's real job (which at this point I can't remember if she even has it anymore): zombi-raising. I want to see Richard and Jean-Claude resolve what it happening whether she likes the result or not. Honestly, I think it's Jean-Claude that has the tremendous upper hand here. I get this feeling he could just become the master of them both if he wanted. Yeah, Anita's personality has become more and more disturbing, but that part at least I can see. She's evolving into something that is apparently so rare that only a couple ever exist at any one time. That, coupled with the fact that she's also fallen in love with a corpse that just happens to walk around, could give anyone pause. I think she gets out of most of her situations in the later books through sheer charisma, by making others that could easily destroy her back down and leave. The Marks she bears probably greatly enhance her own natural 'bad-ass-ness'. [/QUOTE]
