Welcome to Gaia! ::

So, why do you read AB? Is it the sex, gore, blood? Romance, action? Characters, Plot?


For me, its the plot, the characters, and the action. I love it, though I havent gotten to the later books, where apparently, theres sex in every other page. So far, I've just finished Blue Moon and the only REAL sex scene I remember, is when Richard and Anita make love so that the other wolves dont rape her because she decalred herself...some kind of position in the pack. Anyhow, personally I dont mind the sex, usually I just skip it, cause' thats not why I read it.

I read it because it's bloody good in the aspect of vampires and werewolves, a favorite combo I love to read about wether they're at war with each other or it's s truce somehow. Plus I want to know what happens next and the series has a lot of influnce to my own characters in how they act and behave.

Her Characters are HOT!!!
lol, JK!!!
no really they are HOT!!!
heart
I love how she mixed in all the different kinds of beings (Vampires, Where animals, and all the other things that get thrown in their). And for the first few books, that Plot & Action was great. But now the sex has gotten in the way of what I found good before cry

I read the first book because it came recommended to me by someone whose opinion I valued at the time.
I kept reading because of the crime scenes and the not shying away from the details of said crime scenes.
I continued reading because I liked the characters.
I'm still reading them because I like to think that Laurell K Hamilton has to get back the story at some point in the next book.

I'll keep reading the Merry Gentry books because there was no denying what kind of books those were going to be from the very beginning... But my Anita Blake future relies heavily on the next book. If Edward isn't in it, I'm not going to be pleased. If Edward is in it and Anita ******** him, I'm quitting onthe spot and selling my books after Obsidian Butterfly to the local 2nd hand bookshop. If Edward is in it and they actually do some crime fighting and killing and butchering again like the good ol days, I'll be one happy wolf. smile

For the action, plot, characters i come to love, the fun of it, also the different types of creatures and their worlds and how its all public through i could live without the sex.

Well for me...Iv always been a fan of vampires and werewolves. Everytime i went to the library and found a book that had them it was like christmas for me. so when a friend of mine suggested the LKH books to me i couldnt resist. I lOVE the characters and the action. the romance.... and the frustrating elements of said romance. I never get enough...to this day iv read the entire anita blake series 7 times. i reread the series everytime a new book comes out. thats how much i love them.

Why i read them you ask?

I like how Laurell actually makes a science out of fantasy, she puts the whole book into what could be real life in a world full of baddies and creatures we do nt know about, Laws, politics, nad the biology behind it, she really makes it seems believable,yes i could do without some of the sex, but she even explains that away, somewhat. i like the characters in anita blake, the Meredith books seem like a biteoff of anita, but that is to be expected. I just think she really makes a compelling story, one that can be really enjoyed,and emotion filled. I have cried more than once reading those books. she really helps you to learn about what youa re reading,a nd gets you to really want to look into the facts behind the legends. thats why i stayt loyal to reading the books, even with the excessant sex.

I have read all her books... and I do mean all.

I read this series because...
