I guess it’s because I understand that it is now an important part of who she is….yes maybe there could be fewer sex scenes but I really don’t care cause I can always skip them if I want to. I know people have a problem with all the sex, but it doesn’t phase me much. My favorite character in the whole series is Edward and he doesn’t really get any real page time till after all the erotica starts (excluding Obsidian Butterfly). I’m not even going to give up on this series because some of my favorites are after she’s turned into a “glistening orifice” (I love that description). Renee K is right that there is crack in the first books. Hamilton * $2.99 – July 10 only! * A | BN | K | S

Maybe book 5? Either way: $2.99 is a one-day only price, so grab it while you can! If you've never read the series, the early books are kind of amazing, though I'm not sure where you should stop in the series, if you want to get out before the glistening begins. So today only, the first book in the series is on sale digitally for $2.99. Long before Anita Blake became the “glistening orifice” (TM Kaite) these books scared me witless, even as I couldn't stop reading. I went to bed terrified, and got up as soon as the sun was up so I could keep reading. I didn't want to stop reading, but I was also creeped out to the extreme. It was pitch dark, I was in a pine forest, and I was reading a book that scared the absolute crap out of me. Someone had left a single porch light on, so I moved over into the light and kept reading. So I read.Īround that time, a friend introduced me to the Anita Blake series, and I started reading Guilty Pleasures one Friday night as the sun went down. The camp observed the Jewish sabbath, which meant that from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday, no electricity would be used – and since I worked in the office, I didn't do much of anything during that time. Back in 2000, I worked at a summer camp, and I lived at the camp from early June until late August.
