Laurell K. officially lost me after the last Merry Gentry book. I just couldn't read one more interminable sex scene with the candy-colored stud of her choice.
It makes me sad, really, because the early Anita Blakes are really fun, tight little mysteries. And it was rather refreshing to find a heroine who wasn't actively trying to be likeable. Anita's degeneration into perpetual cat-in-heat is one of the saddest transformations since those bastards at 1013 turned Scully into the bloody Virgin Mary.
I've made a vow: no more paying for Laurell K. The library always has tons of copies, anyway. I think one of the local librarians is a big fan.
