This book was pretty much agonizing for me to read. It was all angst and had bad sex scenes. There was not one sex scene (which is pretty much all there is to these books anymore) that I was like, "oh, that's so hot. I've never read THAT before." This was by FAR the most redundant Anita Blake book I have read yet. It's like she has no new ideas or thoughts, and just keeps repeating the same garbage over and over and overWell, you get the point.
I really have nothing good to say about this book, and this whole review will just be a snark fest. I'll try to make it short. We start off with a description of everyone and everything in the room. Oh, Jason and Nathaniel are strippers, and they shift on stage which is like totally awesome, I guess. Last I checked when they shift to their animal form there is goop and gunk everywhere! This does not sound like a stripper I'd want to be around, but I guess the women just LOVE it.
Let's see, Jason is my favorite character so there was that. Except, the storyline SUCKED. Jason has to go home to see his dying father, but his father thinks he's gay. Nathaniel being the understanding boyfriend that he is offers Anita up to Jason to take with him. Every father's dream right? When they get to Jason's hometown things start going downhill right away! Jason's cousin (who is really a half brother) looks JUST like him. So of course craziness ensues! But wait! The mother of all darkness is after Anita againor is she? What the hell, nothing even happened. Except a sex scene with two new characters that we didn't even get to read about! Oh, and another animal for her to call. Yes, everyone welcome the Tiger! Ugh. Richard's back, and now he has contracted the Ardeur, it's like a disease! He should have used it on Anita and ended this series with them behind that picket fence we are constantly reminded of. That would have been best, that way these books wouldn't get published just because she is Laurell K. Hamilton.
This was by far the worst book yet. There were a few scenes that made me almost slam down the book and not even finish it.
For those who have read the book, am I wrong? Nah, I know I'm not. But what did you think?
I know this isn't like my normal reviews, but this just burns me up that there are amazing authors out there struggling to get published. Then crap like this goes out without a hitch, just because of a name.
I'll add this in, first week this was released it debuted at 2 on the NYT Best Sellers; then swiftly made its way lower and lower on said list. It only has 2.5 stars on Amazon, and I'm shocked that 35 people felt that this book deserved a 5 star review. SHOCKED!
