I've been reading the Anita Blake series for a while now. As it began it was a great series, involving a legally employed Vampire executioner. She did alot of detective work and got in all sorts of trouble. I am currently on book number thirteen in the series. And it has devolved to an erotic novel at this point. At first when the main character had sex in the book, it was stylish and went with the story arch. Though in this last novel it has had so little to do with detective work or vampire executing, that when those scenarios do come forward they seem awkward and unimportant. To show what I mean I will now write a mock chapter. This is not from the book but it will use exageration and less between stuff to show what reading this novel has been like.

Incubus Dreams: chapter 30something
I turned in my seat to see Nathaniel in the back seat of the car looking at me. His lavender eyes betrayed nothing as he gave me that gallic shrug that means nothing and everything. I frowned as I thought about him. Remembering how I always like to take care of him, and how the smell of vanilla, his smell, made me feel at home. I looked down his body as he shifted in the car and remembered he was naked. Heat rushed to my face before I could look away from the line of his body. He frowned.
"What's wrong Anita?" He looked at me concerned, his lavender eyes studying my face. "Your embarrassed because i'm naked." It wasn't a question. Damn. I hated it when people could know me so well.
"It just caught me offguard is all." Even I knew I was lying. When I need to I can let a lie even reach my eyes. The first time I did that, I thought I had crossed a line. Before that I could not lie if my life depended on it. Now sometimes I even fooled myself. But not this time. Even I could smell the lie as my pulse sped up.
"No it didn't." His voice was so close it made me look up. His face was so close to mine we could have kissed. I breathed in sharp and my pulse quickened, and somewhere low in my stomach tightened. I hated that he could do this to me. That just seeing him naked could make blush. "Don't get angry Anita." He lifted his hand to my chin and held my face in place, as if he knew I was about to turn away. I looked into his lavender eyes and the Ardeur arose.
His eyes went wide with surprise as it touched him. He recoiled into the back seat as if his hands had burnt just from touching me. His eyes looked scared but looking down his body I knew it was ready. Ready for me. The Ardeur had already touched him, already made him hunger for me.
"Whoa! What the hell are you guys doing? I just felt a rush of energy that's making my skin crawl!" Jason said from the drivers seat. Though I could barely hear him, like a sailor calling from a ship at sea as I stood on shore. I think he asked how long had it been since I fed the Ardeur, but I was too busy wrapping my hands on Nathaniel's thighs. I didn't remember crawling into the back seat.
I stopped and sat back. I was missing time, that's not good. The Ardeur retreated, moving back a little to let myself come to the front. It was still there but I was me for the moment. I looked up into Nathaniel's eyes and let him see my worry. He leaned forward to touch me. It wasn't anything sexual. I learned that while being the Nimr-ra for the wereleopards, that sometimes touch has nothing to do with sex. And that lycanthropes used touch to alot feel safe and home. But whatever he was touching me for the Ardeur didn't care. It roared to life the moment Nathaniels finger touched my skin. His eyes went wide as he felt it push into him, and I heard a soft moan from the drivers seat where Jason sat.
I moved forward placing my hand on Nathaniels bare chest, pushing him hard into the seat.
(at this point I will save you the detail laced story and summarize, to give you a feel of the events of the book. Actually what I wrote never took place in the book but I was showing how a typical scene starts lol)
I took all of Nathaniel into my mouth. Then I felt Jason enter me from behind. When we were done we met Jean-claude at the strip club he owned. Me and him had sex in his office while he fed on blood from my breast. Then he had to control a rogue vampire so I had sex in the back office with a random vampire that was there. Then I went down to the basement which is my boyfriends home, and I had sex with Jean-claude again, but this time with another vampire Asher at the same time. then I got called to check out a murder scene. I talked to some vampires and then went back to my vampire boyfriends basement home and had sex with Nathaniel to prove i could without the ardeur. then after that I had sex with him again because of the ardeur but this time Jason had sex with me too at the same time. then my ex-fiance Richard (who is a werewolf king) came in and got made and punched me, so I took him to talk with my vampire boyfriend Jean-claude who talked Richard into having sex with me and Jean-claude at the same time.... and then I had sex with werewolf I never met before. And then i had to have sex with richard to feed the ardeur because richard needed energy for a fight, so I had sex with Micah.. he's my other boyfriend (a wereleopard).
Yeah... *slams his head on to the desk* Oh i forgot to mention the part where she has a lap dance that causes her to have an orgasm on stage....
what the hell am I reading this for *cries to himself*

Maybe you should write a satirical erotic comedy. ^^ You know, the kind with vampire/werewolf orgies and a good hardy chuckle afterward? Or maybe you sell the last paragraph to Anita Blake for ideas for her next book. Or not. I don't know. Enjoy the rest of your reading =}
ReplyDelete*sigh* It seemed to have so much potential, why did it digress so far? I think it's time you give Anita Blake a rest.. Or she'll just keep fucking you too.. No pun intended. ;p
ReplyDeleteJosh: I think the series is dead or I would think about writing her lol. Her characters are completely transparent now and there is just no substance left, I'm hoping the last two books are an improvement.
ReplyDeleteCipher: Your right, I am in fact tired of having sex with Anita Blake. But i'm holding on for two more books, just for the by-chance that she will take me to execute a vampire or in some way redeem herself.. by not fucking everything that moves... though admittedly at this point I think that is a long shot. /le sigh
