Incubus Dreams

Writers tend to have a tendency to write better and better and then worse and worse. She is not the first writer I have come to like that ever has done that. Incubus Dreams is so awful that I stopped at page 180 to rant about it now.

Laurell K. Hamilton used to be one of my favourite writers. I don't particularly like vampire stuff, but I have devoured every book in her Anita Blake series. Everything on vampires, zombies, werewolves... Until Incubus Dreams.

Anita was a necromancer who had fallen in love with a vampire and a werewolf but struggled with her faith on her job and relationships. Great plot in all the books.

Now LKH is just inventing excuses to feed Anita's ardeur... (she feeds with sex, sigh, sounds like the plot of cheap bad porn...) with every monster in sight... what happened?? It's so boring... page after page of boring sex... If she doesn't know how to write them, stop writing!!

I can't even recommend her earlier books now, because if ANYone by ANY chance has come to love the books like me (and thousands of people in the world), he/she will be disappointed later... Just take a look at the reviews at Amazon.com... you'll know how unhappy her fans are...
sigh...
