I see she posted a comment as well. By the way, I don't know if I ever mentioned it was Terri who turned me on to your blog.<br />Regardless, I have a hard time with most paranormal detective/investigator, police/bounty hunter, etc, whatever flavor. And by your description alone, I can tell I would not like it.<br />I like romance in a story and I don't mind sex on the whole, but I would be really uncomfortable with really graphic sex scenes. My passion is the characters and the plot. I think really graphic sex scenes take away from the plot.<br />I'd say you're probably better off staying away from this series.

I stopped reading this series several books back, when Anita changed from a strong vampire executioner into some kind of weird hybrid shifter with superpowers. And I got the impression that the author was more interested in the sex scenes than putting together an actual plot, so I bailed. Glad to hear that I'm not missing out on anything!

It's definitely a series best read in order so you can see the progression of the characters and the overarching story lines.<br /><br />The books went from being more urban fantasy/mystery to being urban fantasy/erotica somewhere along the line and that's about when I lost interest. I love a good romance mixed in with my urban fantasy, but the direction Anita's story was going wasn't my cup of tea. I also felt the author's writing had begun to suffer. I stopped reading the series years ago. Maybe the books got better. Maybe it was just me. I don't know. <br /><br />Hamilton and Butcher were my introduction to urban fantasy and I will always be grateful for them for that. I still love a good shapeshifter/vampire story. The genre hasn't grown old for me at all, like I know it has for some. I don't see that changing anytime soon.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-21132617425944860692015-03-10T14:51:36.184+00:002015-03-10T14:51:36.184+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859017153454691633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-49255868792846595922015-03-10T14:51:26.592+00:002015-03-10T14:51:26.592+00:00Once upon a time, I might have been interested in ...Once upon a time, I might have been interested in trying out this series. I think the genre has been 'done to death', though, and I can honestly say this doesn't appeal to me now. Your review clinches it for me.
