LKH Danse Macabre -- what have I gotten myself into again

So I seem to be stuck in Twilight. I want to finish it, but the hatehatehatehatehate perspective of the main character is just too much for me in my current low-spoons state, and I can't make myself pick it up again. I'm in the mood to do what I was doing with Twilight, but with a book I can read faster. And I wanted to pick on an author I would have no compunctions about being mean to. Plus I wanted to be able to add something, not just do what dozens before me have already done.

( I like being a negative reader :D )

Anita Blake Books Background

 CN:  Rape, rape the author pretends is not rape, paranormal romance, werewolves, vampires, violence

Laurell K. Hamilton published the first Anita Blake book, Guilty Pleasures, in 1993. Anita Blake started out as a vampire hunter, necromancer, and zombie-raiser living in St. Louis, Missouri. She had an antagonistic/mutually beneficial relationship with a powerful vampire, Jean-Claude. Soon, she obtained a werewolf boyfriend, Richard. Anita solved mysteries (sort of) and killed things in bloody ways. All in all, a somewhat typical paranormal noirish series with some interesting twists, like the fact that the world had always known about vampires, werewolves, and magic. Fans enjoyed LKH's world, and the series sold pretty well. 

( And then she got really popular )
