content: I like so many here have been a die hard fan since Guilty Pleasures and have "stuck" with it through all the new books despite their declining quality. This book is just another in the past 3-4 where her once great plots get lost in pages upon pages of repetitive porn. Even the vocabulary she uses to describe these "erotica" scenes is recycled. She has reduced once complex male figures into 2-dimensional (or less) adoring sex slaves or sulky child figures.Her main character Anita Blake has gone from a commanding/feisty "do it herself" woman to an over-sexed drama queen. Hamilton really seems to be dragging Anita down in more than plot, but in character depth as well. Realllly disappointing.I don't think I will anymore of her novels since they are now more inept erotica rather than fun detective fiction. When in an almost 700 page book only about 100-150 pages actually involve a recognizable plot you know you have entered the erotica/romance zone.
