Welcome to the Death of a SeriesOnce upon a time there was a girl. She liked to read. A lot.

Obsidian Butterfly (2002)
Review posted here: http://offbeatvagabond.blogspot.com/2010/10/laurell-k-hamilton-obsidian-butterfly.html Let me start off by saying, I am a huge Anita Blake fan. There wouldn't be True Blood if not for Anita. Hell, as much as it pains me to say this, there wouldn't be Twilight if. It for An...

Okay, so some of the girls asked that I do a review of the Anita Blake series because I mentioned some things that intrigued them.It's not a finished series and usually I would reserve judgment on a series until it comes to its conclusion just in case the author was going somewhere I wasn't expec...
Circus of the Damned (2007)
I am really enjoying my rereading of this series. Going back to the beginning of the series has reminded me why I continue to read along even though it has morphed into another beast entirely. These early books were so great because the men and the sex weren’t the focus of the entire freaking p...
