i’ve read 15 of her books and loved them and lately they have gone down hill, it really sucks. way too much sex and she tries to keep her high morals when she OBVIOUSLY threw them out the window when she became that incubus thing. now it’s not an attack on L.K.H because i really found a lot of happiness reading the books but it seemed as though she ran with what publishers wanted rather than what the readers like, now hey i’m not one to say a sex scene is bad because at the right time in a book it’s great but the first four chapters of her newest book was a sex scene. basically please go back to the old ways! break up with some of the guys,don’t really need micah, find jason a lover(havent finished the new one so he might have one)BRING BACK EDWARD! Have something kewl happen like jean claude gives his life for anita and richard and says be together and sheilds them from dying idk nathanial is kewl but Anita has become boring and snooty. you can’t be sleeping with 6 guys and have morals, sorry. Asher is good too keep the basics lose the rest. where the heck is Cherry and Damian? Ronnie simms is gone along wtih richards best friend. go back to the wolf pack more, they were interesting. give Anita a birthday because well 15 books and she hasnt had one. what happend to her solving crimes? or raising the dead? hmm….helping people? please don’t see it as an attack just know that changing isn’t always a good thing

I totally agree. I’m going to see Laurell K. Hamilton at Dragoncon. Anita has become a total skank.
