*sigh* the anita blake series is a sore subject for me...the first 9 books are fantastic! amazing! and all those other positive adjectives...but through book 10 and beyond, for whatever reason, laurell gets carried away with the sexual content in the books, pretty much to the point of boredom...she finds a [weak] way to weave massive amounts of sex into the storyline but it doesn't translate well, it just comes off as sci-fi porn (to me anyways)...that said, i actually reccomend the series...you'll have to deal with holes in the story (also known as laurell's sexual tangents - in at least 2 books, she has a 3 chapter long sex scene), not to mention the romance novel quality over use of words like "sheathed", but the overall story is quite good...i say read it, and see for yourself...

as for me, porn aside, the first 9 (even 10) books are soo good that i'm hooked...and even if book 25 has no story line at all, i'll more than likely still buy it...i have hope that it'll turn around.

oh yeah, and
