content: The first Anita Blake Vampire Hunter novels were good fun: they offered a somewhat unique farrago of sex, violence and kinky character both living, dead and inbetween, presented in a saucy, flip tone of voice by the indomitable Ms. Blake. Unfortunately, Ms. Hamilton seems to have fallen in love with her character --or, more aptly, with her sex life-- for that is what the latest novel (Incubus Dreams) is all about. If you like long, not terribly well written or conceived sex scenes --some of them sprawl across two or three chapters-- then Dreams may be your cup of tea. But if you seek a well developed plot or lively and convincing action scenes, you'd best look elsewhere. This novel is terribly boring.David KeymerModesto CA
