I'm Ashamed.

I only read this because it was free and handy. I'm only posting about it because I read it and it's a rule, and I have to tell people about even though I don't want to admit to reading it.

So. I read it. Does Laurell K. Hamilton really get paid for these books? All I've read so far is sex scenes with a little story sprinkled in. She does write some steamy sex scenes, I'll giver her that, but her attempt at a story is ridiculous and she doesn't know how real people talk OR how to actually right a conversation in the first place.

Her favorite thing is to write:


"You didn't." I made it a question.

Uh, Hamilton, you know how you can make something a question? Add a freaking question mark. I've used one in this very paragraph, can you find it? OH HEY ANOTHER ONE.

I think I read "I made it a question" roughly 1 kajillion times in this book. Rough estimate. Give or take a billion.

Also I have a theory that Hamilton IS Anita Blake. Blake is a woman, who is a badass, who is required(!) by some magical bullshit to have sex with a lot of men. So she gets to be a slut, but it's not her fault. And all of the dudes like to cuddle. Ever heard of a Mary Sue? http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MarySue
