Review: Alexa is no Anita Blake
Rating: 1 out of 5

The obvious comparison: Arys' being the most powerful vamp in the city, thanks to the boost in his psychic power, due to Alexa; the "homebody" wolf-lover, Ajax (granted, he is a wolf), and the evolution and growing power of both Arys and Alexa. Oh, and the constant sexual tension and growing cadre of lovers, all of whom she absolutely loves.Yes, Anita is human (mostly) and Alexa is, well, half human, half wolf, half vampire, and something else... and mope-y and weak, too. Anita would have Alexa begging on her knees with a flick of her wrist, then take out all of the supposed bad-assets who would normally save Alexis with her other hand and, maybe, an eyebrow twitch.It is too bad that this book is so wordy and boring, with such a weak main character. I have given Trina Lee two opportunities to win me over (the first and second books of the series, both of which I got as free downloads - boy, would I have been royally PO'd if I had actually had to buy them. Sorry, Ms Lee, I am throwing in the towel. I can't even pretend to be interested in reading any more of this trite, wordy, unnecessarily and overly descriptive story.
