Dead Ice

A third of this book was fantastic, two thirds was Anita dealing with her dysfunctional relationships. As always the non-relationship parts of the book are interesting and fun, the other part however. While Hamilton writes a good story, in an interesting take on the supernatural world, perhaps a little less relationship horse crap would be appreciated. Kill Asher already.

Although I liked this book, I do feel that the story was a little predictable. There was very little character development but I love Anita and in my eyes she is still as strong and unstoppable as ever. Loved Edward/Ted being involved. Micah's family was interesting and I would love a short novel about the visit when his Dad is better. I don't have issues with the poly relationships because she has begun to work out how everyone fits in her life. I prefer when the books lean more towards the work and her relationships then the sex scenes but I'm a fan from the beginning of the series and will remain a fan even through the tough spots that bother me. Can we please get to a point where explanations for every characters personality is a little briefer. I feel like if you don't know who and what her main men/women are you need to go back read a few of the earlier books. But her books can stand alone without the rehashing of everyone's story. I say this because I will take a break from time to time and come back to the story three or four books in and if I'm a little lost I just go further back for info no big deal. I can even check something out at the library to bring me up to speed. So enjoy, it is one of the best paranormal suspense series in my opinion.
