Currently, drowning in sex.

osarabaI felt this one needed its own post.
I finally picked up Laurell K. Hamilton's Danse Macabre, the latest installment in the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series. Although recently it's been less about the mysteries and the baddie-hunting than it has been about her leveling up. It's like an RPG -- every time she levels up, instead of getting a new Limit Break or Overdrive, she has to fuck someone new, or at least fuck someone old but in a new way.
Hey, I'm all for the hot sex (especially in THIS book because aslfjlfjsljdfNOSPOILERNOSPOILERlasjlfajsl! If you want to know, just comment.), but I wish there was a teeny bit more plot in there.
I was somewhat apprehensive about reading this one. I remember reading mixed reviews, and probably more on the bad/disappointed side than not. But so far (about 150 pages in), I don't have too much to complain about.
Except Richard. Oh, Richard. I wish his membership in the triumverate was as easily transferred as a club membership.
Well... so maybe I do. But I'm being entertained at the same rate that I'm being annoyed, so it seems to be cancelling out, and I'm just interested in seeing what happens by the end of this book.
What next? At the rate she's going, she's just going to have to become a god. ^_~;

You will like.
Besides, even if the rest turns out to be crappy, LKH doesn't write in that way where you have to really FORCE yourself to finish. So it'll be fine to read, it's just going to be later that it kinda sucks -- but that's the fun part 'cause we get to bitch to each other about how this was stupid and that was stupid but this part was cool....

Hells yeah. That's an extremely apt description. XD

Argh/heehee. Still snickering over that.
And I realized that when I wrote this I was actually up to around page 250, not 150, which seems worse.
