who do i sleep with tonight?

i meant to tell you ....

i've read laurell k. hamilton's series Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter. the first 8 or 10 of them were interesting/intriguing although pretty grisly at times. then she segued into this seamy, sordid, aberrant sexual miasma which just about turned me away from her stuff.

the latest, i think 15th, in her series is called The Harlequin and is pretty much a return to the style of her initial offerings. there are soooooo many characters by now that i get totally confused and wish i had started a list back in the beginning. regardless, it was good to see she wasn't still wallowing in the gutter. i hope she continues this upward trend, although, wow -- how far can she take anita?
