Laurell K. Hamilton: Crimson Death (2016)

None

I've entirely lost steam on this series. Or maybe this installment just felt like it was phoned in. The first third of the book felt almost completely disconnected from the Ireland plot, and then there was rising action and rising action and rising action, with a rather short climax and then ... it ended. No wrap-up at all.

I can't keep track of all of the characters the protagonist is sleeping with, and the one she likes the best is my least favorite character in the series.

Meanwhile, the best character in the series is the one she doesn't ever sleep with. (Which is great. That should never change. But it means he doesn't feature as heavily into things as he could, given the pages upon pages spent on sex scenes and preaching about polyamory and weird sexist bullshit.)

Since the next threat on Anita's radar is from the paramilitary world, not the metaphysical one, the next book will hopefully feature a lot more Edward and a lot less Nathaniel. Fingers crossed.
