Oh, and they found a corpse. Then back to the sex.
Ok, that's disturbing.
Man, just ascend already.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

If I only had a brain...
It was a naked corpse. In Lucite high heels.

Usually finding a corpse is one of least disturbing things that can happen in an Anita Blake book. I think the fact that they left off the sex long enough to find a corpse is a good sign.

I will continue to argue that "We found a corpse! Time for sex!" remains troublesome.

I really think the worst mistake Hamilton made in the series was the ardeur. If Anita's going to be polyamorous, she should just be polyamorous. The whole "I must have sex, it's an uncontrollable urge" thing is like the '80s bodice-ripper trope of Good Girls Don't Have Sex -- They Enjoy Getting Raped.

Actually, the corpse was a (merciful) pause in the sex.

I know it's been said before, but I liked the Anita Blake books so much more when the focus was on her skill at raising the dead, and by that I mean dead people.

Herding cats for fun
Me too on the liking of No-Sex Anita. Maybe LKH should try to imagine her keeping her legs together for an entire book sometime.
Funniest Anne Rice infotainment: Seems that readers at Amazon have dissed "Blood Canticle," and she has posted a stinging response at her own website complaining that she is offended by the "sheer outrageous stupidity of many things you've said here."
Well, fine. Now I really want to click over there and type something disparaging, but I'll have to stick with "I can't quite remember which books I've read since Queen of the Damned, because I didn't much care for any of them."

Obsidian Wings. And it was damned good, too.
