Three dollars and some change

I just finished the book and was very disappointed. Now it's the metaphysical vampire crap that makes the men in Anita's life love her?

And the ardeur molds people and seeks out powerful mates for Anita...give me a break...

I think that LKH is finding ways to remove any guilt/responsiblity for her character's sexual practices. I laughed when Anita found herself in bed with 3 men. How do you top that? An orgy? Sex with Claudia?

The sex should be the icing on the cake and not the cake (you become numb to it after a while). She needs to go back to raising zombies and solving crimes.

I hated when Jean Claude and Mica suggested that Anita infect herself with different strains of lycan blood. Doesn't she have enough problems already? It seems like a callous and out of character suggestion on their part (especially Mica). Just how many more animal strains are going to become part of Anita's makeup?

What was the pregnancy scare about? Is she now immortal? Have her menstrual cycles slowed down because she is no longer human? (Wasn't she also bitten by a Snake-shifter (an immortal) in one book? Perhaps that is the other unidentified virus/blood strain in her. Could that have kicked in the immortality?)
