Oh, thank the lord and pass the chocolate...Laurell K. Hamilton's latest is finally worthy of a loud, "Hell yes!"Although I've read every single one of her Anita books, of late I felt the books lacked quite a bit in the plot department. The action seemed to revolve around Anita and her men and their love lives. If she had big bads to kill and evil doers to vanquish, that conflict was lost in the bedsheets. I'm all for exploring the internal motivations of characters and Hamilton uses sex to achieve this. But when she is juggling so many characters, that exploration can be mind numbing. I felt the stories were suffering.
The Harlequin seems to get her back on track with a plot outside the bedroom and more external conflict than internal, or maybe the conflict is better balanced. Whatever it is, it works.
Plus, Edward is back and Richard gets a kick in the ass!
