Review title: Getting Worse
Product review: The glory of Ms. Hamilton's Anita Blake books is, in my, view the toughness of the central character. She is the terminator, she doesn't give in, she doesn't stop and she never backs down. Added to this are the imaginative plots combining gothic fantasy and detective-noir.Ms. Hamilton's books have always had a strong element of the erotic. In her earlier books this element was pretty much under control and, indeed, usefully established the "otherness" of the world co-existing with our own. Unfortunately in this book, like her last, this element has been allowed to dominate, resulting in a sado-masochistic farce. Not only is this excess boring in itself but much of it is predictable - there are striking similarities between scenes in the last few books.A plea from a fan - drop the touchy feely stuff and please return to the hunter-killer mode and the imaginative plot lines.
