Kiss the Dead

Anita is back on a down slope. Hit List was amazing, this book was so boring. I don't read these books for the crappy sex scenes, I read them to know about Anita, her abilities, the things she is supposed to be hunting and executing. Its like every other book is just smut. I hate reading smut! The most gripping part came at page 318! Seriously page 318 out of 334 pages, you put the oh my god what the hell is going to happen to Nathaniel scene!? And to top it off you make it as anticlimactic as you can with a simple solution? Other than the few pages of heart wrenching fear for Nathaniel, you blink and it's over. There is very little storyline at all about the unbound vampires. I was hoping Hamilton would go more into how they were created, what their general thoughts were, what their lifestyle was like. Instead she introduces you in the first few chapters to a new type of vampire kiss and then leaves it till the end of the book to have one person sum it all up. One person? How is this interesting at all? If Affliction bores me I will be giving up Anita Blake again. And this time for good.
