The Harlequin by Laurell K. Hamilton

Anita Blake Vampire Hunter is not hunting vampires, they all seem to be wanting to have her as a consort for the power that she gives to her relationships.  One emergency after another with weres, vampires, and assorted bad guys running all around. 

Her relationship with Richard is bad, then good, then seemingly over. Jean Claude still makes her flutter and the collection of weres expands.

I keep giving this series a try as the first few books I really liked but the sex theme is getting old.

Blood Noir by Laurell K. Hamilton

Werewolf Jason needs to go home to his father that has only been given a few weeks to live.  Only problem is he really needs to take a woman to prove to his father that he is not gay.  His latest romance has just broken off so he is at lose ends.  Nathanial volunteers Anita and since Jason is her friend she agrees to go.

Things become really complicated when they arrive in Asheville to a feeding frenzy of media for a governor's son that Jason happens to look immensely alike.   It seems the gene pool in their community is not that varied.

As always there are vampires, weres, and a lot of other stuff going on.  This novel is back on track and interesting and I would recommend it.

Danse Macbre by Laurell K. Hamilton

Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter seems to just be hunting sex to feed the ardeur.  If you like three hundred pages of off and on sex and a lot of drama then this is the book for you.  If you like a sudden ending that really does not tie up anything, then this is the book for you.

It was not the book for me and I think I remember why I stopped reading this series.  The first five or six are good and then the quality falls off.
