In this day and age it seems like more and more books put out are either completely inane "self-help" titles or "insightful" political dreck; both written by people who shouldn't be breathing let alone writing. It makes finding something worthwhile to read a challenge.
However, there are times when one really needs bubblegum. Such as when one has just seen the fifth delay on his flight being posted.
Sadly, the Anita Blake books aren't even bubblegum anymore. They're like that sorespot on the roof of your mouth when you eat overly hot pizza. You can't help yourself. Even though you know that you'll end up in pain.
That's been my opinion of the last few Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter novels, CERULEAN SINS. It hurt. A lot. Hamilton should change her name to Rice since her writing has gone to softcore porn like Rice's has.
Unless you get into trashy romances masquerading as trashy monster squad hunts ... avoid this one. It doesn't even have Edward in the pages. Which in my opinion is the ONLY thing that redeems the series.
