Blood Noir - Laurell K Hamelton

Let me just say...I have never, ever thrown a book in the trash before. Until today. I have read all of her Anita Blake books, and they seem to just go down hill in each new book. This woman writes like she has not had sex in years, or maybe she is getting too much and is confused about her real life and that of her character's. I was really hoping this would be more like her original stories, less sex, less focus on having sex, less focus on how sexy everyone looks, less focus on who is doing who or in bed with who or how many who's. It sounds like I am describing a Dr. Seuss book. I am definitely not.

Chapter one starts of with Anita having a conversation and then sex with two of the men in her life. Does it really matter which two? She has so many it is too much work to actually clarify who she is with. Chapter two continues the sex, as does chapter 3. They finish up the sex and discuss it in chapter 4. Seeing as this book has absolutely no story line any intelligent person would be interested in, I chunked the book in the recycle bin. I am having guilt over this. Yes, I should sell it, donate it, something. I just don't want it in my house and don't think it is worthy to give to someone else.
