I have read all of her fairy series and am reading her Anita Blake Vampire Huntress novels. They are exellent books.

Yeah, stop after Obisidian Butterfly. They become a waste of time after that.

They start sucking; badly. She looses all plot, it's all just meaningless sex.

how can sex be meaningless? sure it becomes a romp into the somewhat pornographic at times, and she says fuck me a lot, but they are still good books... and it was bound to happen anyway with Anita being part of Jean Claudes lil group, and therefore part of Belle Morte's group, so the sex part was inevitable...

It's a fictional series...nothing was inevitable. I am, of course, with Onyx on this one. The books went seriously downhill after OB. I had hope for The Harlequin because I had heard there was an actual plot in it, but it seemed so awkwardly wedged into Hamilton's tour de sex that I just couldn't get into it. I am all for good sex worked into a book ("The Killing Dance" is a prime example of sex done right,) but it's really disheartening to see a formerly good author abandoning her old style of writing in favor of random, unnecessary sex. Boo, BOOOOOO I say!

well, the next in the series is out soon, and I will pick it up and read it and enjoy it just the same, always can use more spanking material in the guise of an actual book, that way I can put it on the book shelf and hide my smut in plain sight :roll:
