Query: Boring

I enjoy Charlaine Harris's Southern Vampire Mystery series so I picked up this book. I was bored. Maybe it would have been better to start with the first book in the series, but a good book should be able to stand on its own. In this case, there was a distracting subplot about his pills and a Nemesis that was either a reference to an earlier book or preparing for a subsequent book.The main characters, particularly Simon and Giles, came off as cariactures not "real" people and because of that did not capture my interest or affection. The plot itself was thin. I could not wait to be done reading. Based on this book, I will not be reading any of the others in the series.
