Also, aside from all the heinous shit…I don’t see how Anita fucking potential-sirens will awaken their potential if only fucking another siren can do it. The ardeur-power being similar to the siren-power doesn’t seem a likely enough reason for that to work, and even if it was, why the hell does it have to be Anita? Other vampires out there have the ardeur, and as nasty as vampires tend to be in this universe, most of those vampires are still probably people it would be better to ally yourself to and/or pimp your sons to than her.
…”better to pimp your sons to” HOW WAS I EVEN DRIVEN TO TYPE SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
As far as I know, there’s actually no plot in this book, and the thing with the merfolk has yet to be brought up again in any later book. Literally the only relevance this books has to the rest of this series as far as I can tell is that it introduces Haven, and that’s it.
I think what they meant by “real world” was “day to day human-centric world” but given how Anita apparently gave LKH so much grief over killing Philip, I’d say they’re pretty aware on some level in LKH’s head as characters that they’re just characters. Especially with Anita’s obsessive division on who good and bad guys are. Like you said, she’s so much a part of LKH’s fantasies that the fourth wall is just gone.
I’m just tired of the phrase “picket fence” period
Yup, LKH pretty firmly has the virgin/whore dichotomy in place in her head, except that all the women on the “virgin” side will get spat on by Anita as much as her fellow “whores”
I thinks she’s jealous of cops (or rather, her idea of cops) is the thing. It’s both love and hate.
