Query: I hope Laurell Hamilton reads these reviews

Like many of the readers reviewing this book, I eagerly looked forward to reading the next Anita Blake installment and immediately pre-ordered the book last summer. What a disappointment. This isn't the Anita Blake we've come to know. I absolutely believe that a character needs to change to keep a series fresh, but in this case Anita's gone from being an interesting in-charge woman to some sort of emotional victim. The AB books have always had a sensual storyline going on, but NiC went way beyond that. I wouldn't have minded the sex so much if it had been true to the Anita character. Every real fan knows the moral backbone Anita has had throughout the last nine books.Maybe Laurell Hamilton is tiring of Anita and wants to pursue her Princess Meredith series. In that case she should put Anita on hold until she's ready to give the character the type of story she (and the fans) truly deserve.
