#BookMail Pt8 Last (and definitely least from all the reviews I‘ve seen!)is the latest Anita Blake book from Laurell.K.Hamilton. I know. Why am I inflicting this upon myself? It‘s like a weird obsession you just can‘t shake, like watching pimple popping videos on YouTube. #LikeACarCrashInSlowMotion
hlgreenfield I read the first book of this series and absolutely loved it, but so many people told me not to read on because it got really bad so I took their advice. 6y
Lizpixie @hlgreenfield the first 7 or 8 books are really good. I do recommend them so if you‘ve only read Guilty Pleasures I‘d read the next ones too. But after Obsidian Butterfly, it just gets more about the copious sex and less about the monster hunting detective. Which is a huge shame.💔 6y
Leniverse @Lizpixie @hlgreenfield Agreed. The first several books are good. The only negative is Anita's rabid hatred of tall blonde women and her conflicted guilt about having sex. Oh, and the poorly proofread French. But the plots and characters are great. Until the books suddenly become 90% sex (and some guilt) just wrapped in a plot that only turns up in the opening and closing chapters. 6y

hlgreenfield @Leniverse , @Lizpixie Thanks for the recommendation. So if I read the first 7 they are the same kind of book/quality as the first one? That is great to hear, because I really loved the first one, but after hearing so many horror stories about how it became all about sex I didn't read any further! 6y
Leniverse @hlgreenfield Definitely. I just checked, and I've read 11 of them. The last two or three were awful so I gave up, realising it was a new trend and not just a dud filler book. But you should be safe with at least seven, and some of them are even better than the first. So go for it until they stop being good! 6y
Karkar @hlgreenfield @Lizpixie @Leniverse I totally agree first ones are great! 6y
