Humans and non-humans are killed in record numbers, with most deaths quite graphic. Part of the gore is due to Anita s unofficial role as a police advisor. In each book she s called on to help solve a preternatural case, such as serial vampire murders. Also, to call these a romance would be stretching the truth too far. Here s Anita s take on the two men in her life.
Most women complain that there are no single, straight men left.
I d just like to meet one who s human. You have to read one thousand nine hundred and sixty-three pages before one of the relationships is consummated. Mental foreplay abounds, but true consummation doesn t occur for a really long time. Anita s attitude toward love isn t the typical one found in a romance, either. I loved him, but love isn t enough.
