Rafael by Laurell K. HamiltonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Rafael (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter #28)
by
Laurell K. Hamilton (Goodreads Author)
I lost interest in this series when LKH decided that polyamorous was the way to go. I see nothing wrong with it; I just got tired of her books being porn and not the action stories they used to be.
However, this book and LKH's last book Sucker Punch made me reconsider reading the rest of the series. There was a little less sex and a bit more action. However, I will say that we do spend at least half of the book discussing (ad nauseam) everything within an inch of its life! Some things will never change.
I liked seeing Anita using a lot of her 'new' (for me) abilities, and the fighting was indeed worthy of note -however, the discussion of the types of weapons didn't interest me.
I also loved that this and the last book were shorter than normal, so I felt less frustration reading through the repetitive things.
Oh, and it seems that the word 'spill' has become passe! I think it was used only once!!!
I'm happy to have read this book and may even go back and read the others that I have missed. I sure want to read more about Anita's wedding!
