First, I loved the Anita Blake series, as well as this one. Fresh, imaginitive and well plotted.But Now??? This book spans approximately 48 hours in Meredith's life, and is taken up with one sex scene after another...Complete overkill....the plot doesn't just suffer, it doesn't exist!The last Anita Blake novel seemed to follow the same path....all the good detective/zombie plots gone...one sex scene after another in the place of a good story line.Please, please, go back to your earlier format, and give your loyal fans some substance!
