Day 12 - A book you used to love
May. 12th, 2013 10:51 am12. A book you used to love but don’t anymore.
All I could come up with is a series. Laurell K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Series
This series was a wonderful new genre for me when I first began. It was about vampires and other supernatural creatures that wasn’t either romance or horror. It finally came to be known as urban fantasy though I think the name does not fit quite right. For about 8 books, this was the best series out there then the author lost her shit and forgot that they were characters and not her. Anita Blake became the Sue-y-ist of Mary Sues with magical powers and with every man and most women madly in love with her to the point that Anita has sexual partners in the double digits and begins to have sex with 16 year olds. It gets a bit sick.
And the author became as nuts as her character, marrying the president of her fan club and throwing fits to rival those of the batshit crazy Anne Rice. I guess that’s why her books are always in the remainder piles these days.
I admit that I still read them but I buy them used or gak a copy from online. I will not pay an author for behaving the way she does.
