Title: Same s---, different title.
Product review: OK, I was almost reconciled to the sex-for-plot substitution. Almost. Both the Anita Blake and Merry Gentry books have headed down that path. But this time, I was more distracted by the annoying overuse of a couple of metaphors / similes involving having the moon inside someone, making them "glow". I think this was used several times in the same scene. At least in the same chapter. Hello, proofreaders and editors? Other faux pas were equally annoying, and made reading painful.When these books, starting with Anita Blake, caught my attention, they had plot, characters, snappy dialogue, and did I mention plot? If the entire Merry story arc were a week, this book would be a minute. Almost nothing happens to advance the plot, and it happens slowly.I won't be springing for a hardcover next time. Maybe not even a paperback <sigh>. I hate it when a good thing ends badly. As a friend said, "When the story is over, stop telling it." Please.
