Negative Positive
Title: Jerry Springer, with Vampires
Review: We can't expect an author to write the same book over and over; but to take a character 180 degrees the way LKH has with Anita Blake is a bit much. There wasn't sex in the first four books and now that seems to be all there is. There is no plot, no storyline and you can't keep track of the sex partners without a spreadsheet.Danse Macabre is boring and repetitious. How many different ways can her characters do it? In the later books sex powers the magic; lots of cults propound that theory in real life but its an invalid theory. If there is only gray, instead of black and white (good vs. evil) where is the conflict? Anita has become what she used to call "coffin bait." Is this character development or merely a history of the corruption of Anita Blake? Someone has to be the bad guy. Is it going to be Anita?This book was unpleasant, juvenile and endless, I thought it would never end.
Is the review positive or negative?
