I was a huge fan of this series, but I just can't take it anymore. . I feel like Laurell K Hamilton has lost the voice of Anita Blake entirely. I don't even think she's writing this series to continue the story anymore; I feel that she is sacrificing this series for some sort of personal agenda or something. It is silly to force yourself to read something because you are a fan of the author's earlier works, so this is my last attempt to read Anita Blake. I couldn't even get interested enough to finish the book.
