I now have the new book in my possession, it is really not what I have come to expect from Anita, again she continues with her many lovers and in no way investigates or solves Preternatural crime.
The only saving grace is Edward, he makes a return. And hamilton has started to destroy him in my eyes, she is giving him feelings and showing us too much of what's inside.
I will post a short message to Laurell K:
Dear Uncomprimising Author,
I have been a fan of your work since 1995, way back when nobody in the UK had heard of you. I spent ages encouraging people to read your books and moving them to prime locations in book stores. And I did it because I loved your work.
HOWEVER, your poorly written sexscenes, over complicated cast members and lack of real story is not doing you any favours.
Let me guess how your next book will go (because the last 4 have been exactly the same)
Anita is troubled, Richard doesn't like her sleeping with many men and animals, a big bad council member will come to town, there will eb endless pages describing mens hair and eyes, Anita will suffer at the hands of the ardure so badly that she has to sleep with a new species (I mean come on I was getting annoyed at her having sex with Wolves, Leopards, Lions and the like but MERMEN?!?!?! You'd never even mentioned they existed before book 13) and then it'll all be ok, Jean Claude will not do alot but many words will be written (in GREAT detail) about how lacy his cuffs are and how the colour of his shirt contrasts his skin, eyes, hair, teapot. Anita will defeate the big bad with a new power and the book will end, Anita no further along in life and the reader tearing their hair out.
When we send you constructive comments don't wrote to us telling us things like "if you don't like it don't read it", we buy your books, we are YOUR customers at the end of the day, I think you'll find it should be a case of if WE don't like it YOU shouldn't write it. I know you think the people in your books are real, and that you buy them presents at the holidays but for gods sake stop making things so complicated. Anita does not need more than 15 sexual partners and she does need to get back to what the first books were about. I know you write romance under another name and I know you put loads of effort in but leave the romance for Merry Gentry and your other books and get the Anita ones back to Gore, Crime, Animating and the good stuff.
