I fell in love with both series and also wished the day would never come where I wouldn't have an LKH book to read. However, with AB I am more than ready to see a resolution to the story and with MG I am a little annoyed that she gets to keep all these men (6 are the father's of her twins? WTF?) Although I love many of them I was looking forward to her having to loose them. The last few books in each series have been lacking in my opinion, but I want to know what happens so I continue reading. It at least makes me feel better to know there are other authors out there with promise such as Patricia Briggs, Ilona Andrews, Kim Harrison, Lilith Saintcrow and many others. The Succubus and Storm Born series by Rachelle Mead are also a good reads. I still pine for the old Anita though, and although characters are bound to change she totally threw me for a loop. RIP Awesome, kick-ass Anita. @Jess B:

I actually gave that one to a friend to read and told her to burn it when she was done. It was one of the few books I have ever read that turned my stomach. Maybe it is because I'm a nurse? AB has pretty much turned into nothing but a hard core kinky sex series. Best recentish book in that series was Micah. It had more plot. I really think every time I read them that she did not originally plan the direction it went. As for MG, I have wondered for awhile, after she became pregnant, if they stories would not end and jump to the next generation. That is what I expected, actually.

I remember when I first started reading LKH books I was so thrilled at the way she wrote that I wished the day would never come where I wouldn’t have a new MG or AB book to read. I dreaded the end of the series. Now I am not so sure. I still read them (albeit more slowly) and I still like her writing style, but it HAS taken a dramatic twist in the AB series. That was my favorite and it still crushes me that Anita did a total 360 on me. Not that I don’t mind reading good sex scenes but it used to be about more. To me a good plot is necessary and I like a nice balance of sex/action/supernatural mumbo jumbo. I really do miss the way she used to write the series, but I am certainly not going to bash her because I know it is a lot of work. I applaud her ability to keep readers interested. However I think I am about ready for Merry and Anita to come to conclusion and perhaps see another interesting series unfold from the mind of LKH. *shrug* Just my humble opinion (heh) I don’t know if I am happy or not that the books are continuing.

I loved the Anita Blake series all the way up to Obsidian Butterfly, and truth be told I only loved it because of Edward. After that, there was less and less plot, and more and more sex. As I guy, I enjoy sex.. Like Lots.. but you know there is way too much of it when a MAN says enough already! There are lots of porn sites you can go to for free and not have to shell out the money to buy another uninspired rut-race. I miss the character driven plot.. I miss the adventure, that edge of your seat page flying momentum that made you hit the back cover the same night you opened the book... but most of all I miss the credibility of the characters. I miss Anita's moral highground.. I miss the tough as nails take no crap Executioner they swapped out and replaced with a sperm bank for anything Supernatural. :/ If you're going to continue the series, bring it back to the level of creative craftmanship that made us love the world of Anita in the first place.. If the lackluster Skin-emax knock off persists, maybe it is better to give up the ghost.. You've already given up Anita's dignity..

The Merry Gentry series is my absolute favorite. I really hope it does go to 15 books or more. I also like the Anita Blake series. I will admit thought that the first time I read the series I had to take a break from it. I thought that at first it was going to be kind of repetitive but it's not suprisingly. I like where she's going with the story. It's just taking her longer than with Merry Gentry. I strongly plead to all of you who stopped in midway of the series to pick it up again. After Narcissus in Chains, it shoots off to this great...interesting...make you wanna read the next book story. I promise it's really good. Just as good as the Merry Gentry series. Please try...I would hate for anyone to miss out on it. I love Laurell K Hamiltons’ books. The Merry Gentry series is my absolute favorite. I really hope it does go to 15 books or more.

I have to say take your own advice and don't read them. If someone doesn't like something, they have every right to give it a bad review or discuss why they don't like it. How else would we evaluate things? I guess we should just all keep our mouths shut and let everyone buy books that suck? No! They have options! They can read the good and the bad that everyone has to say about them and make their own decision based on that, or they can just go buy the book and decide for themselves. It's up to them. Personally, I think it's more of a waste of time to complain about complaining than to complain about a book that you don't like, but I just did it too. Now all of that being said, I love the MG series and I will continue reading it as long as it holds my interest. I do get frustrated sometimes with how slow the plot moves in some of the books. The last one I read was Stroke of Midnight and it was a little bit like that until the end, when things started to pick up a bit. I still really liked it and want to read the next book. I loved all of the sex, but I love erotica and I am also well over 18. For the most part, I really hate series books...period. But the fact is that I always seemed to get hooked on them. I think what I really hate is having to wait so long between books...or trying to find them...or when I accidentally buy the wrong book because I'm not sure which ones I've already read (I read a lot of books, so it can be hard for me to keep up with stuff like this. Sometimes they all run together). This is especially true for the MG books because the titles and covers are all so similar. That's not a complaint toward the author. I understand the logic behind it, but for someone as absent minded as I am, it kind of sucks :D. I think they should put which book in the series it is on the cover!

I dont think I have ever said that about any author, there is usally something that I would like changed or didnt like, shes definately one of my new fave authors. Patricia Briggs has 4 or 5 books out now and the first is titled Moon Called, the books are totally entralling and so well plotted, I simply ADORE Patricia's style of writing and cant recommend her enough. Kim Harrison has 6 or 7 books out and the first is titled Dead Witch Walking the first book took about 100 page for me to get into and then I was hooked faithfully for the rest of the series, the plots are totally original and the characters are put in truely interesting positions, I adore Jenks, if her books were movies he would win Best Supporting Actor Oscars every year. A warning...none of these book have explicit sex in them Ilona and Patrica have none but they do have a wonderful romantic suspense thing happening which in a way keeps me even more interested. I spent so many years reading paranormal romances and other romances that I didnt give Urban Fantasy much of a go, boy am I glad I changed my mind. I hope you are able to get a hold of these books at your library or a bookshop, they are simply amazing series. I can pretty much guarentee all three would keep you absorbed for hours make that days lol :) Goodluck with everything :) Thankful in Florida,

I also lost my Dad to Cancer. Dads are irreplacable, and I had a great one too! Thanks for your suggestion of books. I really liked this series because of the way it portrayed Merry; a woman one found through all of her feminineness,(she would break down and cry etc), she could find her strength and be a loving, strong and grow into a powerful leader without having to lose her womaness (I don't know if thats an actual word) Anyway, thank you for the kind words, Annette Thanks Jess B,

Its wonderful that books can do this for you, I have had a few deaths in the family, one was my dad to cancer. Each time I grieve I turn to books. If you like series of books that can help you to escape let me also suggest J D Robb - Her death series, first book Naked in Death Janet Evanovich - Stephanie Plum Series - first book is One for the Money Sherrilyn Kenyon - Dark Hunter books - First book is Night Pleasures (prequel is fantasy lover) Good Luck with everything :) Thankful in Florida…

Am I taking drugs to calm my nerves- no ,drinking every night- no, working out way to much (should be) but no I should have fallen apart but I found the magic in this world that is sooo lacking in reading this Merry Gentry series ,It is my private piece of sanity in my day- LKH takes me into a place full of magic and un-ending possibilites. she makes me smile- I am well past 18 and I love the erotic parts of the story too. LKH keep writing this series anyway you see fit and ignore the writer-want-to-be's. We all need a little magic in this world and you bring it! Thanks LKH is the writer, leave her alone- I have never really gotten into fiction, but this series- reccomended by a great girl at Books -a Million as a good fantasy
