Folding Paper & Spilling Ink

Look, this was trash. But I was prepared for that. Since this book is packaged as erotica it doesn't bother me that there's really no plot to speak of. I do wish there were better character moments, but hey. At least this novella was what was advertised. It gets a bonus star for centering around cha...

Look, it was bad. I knew it was going to be bad. No surprises here.Pros: Plenty of Edward. Also Nathaniel if you're into that. (And Micah too I guess.)Zombies aplenty! A couple great actions scenes.Cons: Terrible writing. But we knew that, yeah?Still too many side characters I do not give a fuck abo...

Der Auftragskiller Edward ist meine absolute Lieblingsnebenfigur der „Anita Blake“-Reihe von Laurell K. Hamilton. Ich liebe seine Kompromisslosigkeit, seinen tödlichen Pragmatismus und seinen ganz speziellen Sinn für Humor. Vielleicht sollte es mir zu denken geben, wie sehr ich eine Figur, die mühel...

Eines der wichtigsten Ereignisse in der Biografie von Anita Blake ist der Tod ihrer Mutter bei einem Autounfall, als sie 8 Jahre alt war. Dieses Schlüsselerlebnis ist kein Zufall und nicht rein fiktiv. Die Autorin Laurell K. Hamilton schöpfte hierfür aus ihrer eigenen Vergangenheit. Ihre Mutter Suzi...

Kürzlich habe ich ein Interview mit Laurell K. Hamilton gelesen, indem sie erklärte, sie habe Richard in Anitas Leben gebracht, um es zu vereinfachen und sie vor Jean-Claude zu retten. Das hat ja wunderbar funktioniert. Spätere Versuche, Anita vom Chaos in ihrem Leben zu erlösen, scheiterten ebenfal...

Laurell K. Hamiltons Urban Fantasy – Reihe „Anita Blake“ war stets als Mehrteiler konzipiert. Nach dem College las sie viele Krimis und fand, dass Frauen dort grundsätzlich weniger taff als Männer auftraten. Sie wünschte sich eine Heldin, die in allen Bereichen mindestens ebenso gut wie Männer war. ...

This book is really weirdly structured. The first half is Anita working a vampire execution case. Just her and RPIT putting bullets in vampires and talking. That's it. The second half is her going home and ruminating on her love life and having lots of sex. Then, jarringly, there is a life threateni...

What happened in this book? I mean, I know something did, but it eludes me for the most part. I think maybe there was an epic showdown that unfolded over the course of two pages at the end, but I might be wrong. On the good side: This book actually has some decent action scenes. There is an entire...

The weirdest thing about this book, by far, is that it simultaneously manages to have no plot and too many plots all at the same time. There are at least five plot hooks thrown into this novel and none of them really get fully pursued. There's too much planning, and angsting, and screwing, and agoni...

A short story, inflated to a novella, marketed as a novel. I did appreciate that this installment had more of an actual story arc than most late series Blake novels - the length kept it from spinning too far off the rails. It also focused primarily (though not entirely) on her necromancy more than o...
