Whatever happened to Dominga Salvador? If we could get some of that shit back we might have a series worth reading for reasons other than nostalgia. Kill Richard, have some sex with Jean-Claude and Mommie dearest, and discover some cool zombie shit. Is that too much to ask? No more new lovers!

"The Harelquin" just gets too bogged down with the whole political junk that's going on and everyone wanting to fuck Anita. I've reached the point where I can no longer relate to Anita and I ALMOST don't give a crap anymore. She's too busy trying to police everyone into people she wants them to be. And she's got too much supernatural shit in her system that I can't keep track of it. It's rather annoying, really. I miss Ronnie. Cherry, Dr. Lillian and Claudia are the only chicks Anita doesn't hate. Edward is still cool, but he's gotten all soft and gooey like chocolate left out in the sun. I miss Jason too, he's damn funny. Hell, Anita used to be funny too, what the fuck happened? Anita had wit and zazz and a bit of an attitude now it's "how far do her limits reach?" But you're right Bam, even 300 pages into I, I do see a light at the tunnel for the series and its former awesomeness. BTW the Merry Gentry series was supposed to be a deterrent for all the sexin' in Anita Blake. Hmmmm...I wonder how well that worked.

I don’t know if I’ve become immune to the ardeur or Anita’s many lovers or the editorial mistakes (there’s a HUGE one on page 238 that is an ENORMOUS CONTINUITY ERROR and makes a total liar of the earlier books of the series— but I was told this was merely a typo), but… you know, I did not experience frothing at the mouth while reading this entry to the Anita Blake series. My main reaction? Meh.</blockquote> I did come here today hoping to find your review for The Harlequin. Given the fact that Amazon is currently rating it as 4 1/2 stars I was considering it. Your overall lack of heat tells me volumes about this book. I will not be buying it and may only pick it up when it show up in paperback form at garage sales. Perhaps you are on the road to recovery and are now past the anger stage. You are starting to accept the books for the trash they have become and may yet be able to break that addiction.

It's an addiction, just like heroin; therefore it has to suck. At least there's some Edward in this one :).
