I was so relieved to read the other reviews...I thought I had turned into a prude. I am so tired of a book of sex. I started reading Anita Blake when it first came out. I LOVED the storylines and the plots and the twists and the characters. I devoured every book and couldn't wait for the next and could read the old ones over and over.There are no storylines anymore just Anita sleeping with whomever happens to be around.My teen-ager started reading Anita when she was 15 and loved them and got several of her friends hooked as well. I was shocked when they were over at my house and all informed me that her books are "boring and not worth the effort to turn the pages to read". This from a bunch of hormonal teen-agers.I am happy that Ms Hamilton's personal life is going so well and she is happy but please, please, please!!! keep it out of Anita (and the Meridith Gentry books as well) write a biography if she MUST gush. Bring back the zombies and the ghouls and the PLOTS!!!!
