The bad news is, it's short.....
the good news is, it's short. Poor Anita, we hardly know you anymore. This entry into the Anita Blake is big on sex and very very small on plot. I guess it's a novella, so I should not be making an issue about its length, but in addition to having few pages, this book has very little substance. I read it and felt like I hadn't really learned anything about Anita; or Micah, for that matter. I would so much more enjoy this series of books if Ms Hamilton could make the plots more interesting, reduce the gratuitous "porn" segments, describe more about Anita's work without slipping into metaphysical cliches, and, because this bothers me a LOT, get a better editor to avoid numerous misspellings and repetition of phrases. Because the Anita Blake books were SO interesting and entertaining at the beginning of the series, I hope that Ms Hamilton takes many reviewers' advice and change the direction in which that this series is going.
