Review title: Has anyone seen the real Anita Blake?
Product review: I eagerly pre-ordered this latest in the Anita Blake series and had been waiting very impatiently for its release...boy was I disappointed. Narcissus in Chains bears little resemblance to the series fans know and love. There were a number of things I didn't like about this book: the plot was weak, there were WAY too many sex scenes (Ms. Hamilton, leave this stuff to Princess Meredith and her series, please!) instead of Hamilton's usual tastefully erotic love scenes, and too many series "regulars" were nowhere to be found. Where was Edward? Willie? Larry? Animators, Inc? (Not to mention creepy Otto from Obsidian Butterfly!) Based upon the previous nine books in this series (all of which I've read multiple times), I barely recognized this Anita - her actions were way out of character and frankly, some were just tasteless. I sincerely hope that in book #11 we find Anita returned to her normal, sassy self.
