I would like to come out to say, I do not like being called Negative Reader. I am a critical reader. I critique and criticize. Just because you don’t agree with my opinion doesn’t mean you need to act like children by name calling.
Anyway, I must say you are like a car crash. I know you have at one point been stuck in traffic because of two cars hitting each other. As you slowly pass the mess, you can’t help but take a look and in doing so slow traffic down. This is what you are too many people around the world beside bat-shit crazy.
Once upon a time, yes, we WERE fans. WERE being the main word.
I found this quote about Star Trek a while back ago and found the words much like what many of us have been trying to tell you.
"Many of us who are fans of Anita enjoy Anita despite its faults, not because we think Anita is perfect and not because we do not think it cannot be improved. To criticize Anita, then, means that we enjoy Anita enough to want it to be the best it can be, and we wish to point out the flaws in hope of improvement (that is, to learn from mistakes, rather than to pretend they do not exist). If we didn't care, we wouldn't criticize."
What you don’t understand is many of us HAVE stopped reading the book. We can’t read it anymore because we begin to lose brain cells by how terrible the books have become. Just because we do not read the books doesn’t mean we can not continue to criticize a series we have spent not only money but out time to reading and caring for a series. You, as a writer, have failed us as readers.
You have turned your work into nothing by trash. The books no longer have a plot. The characters are no longer true to what you FIRST wrote them as. There is no tension or mystery in your series like there once was. Tension doesn’t just mean sex either. There is no suspense for you crime scene. No great action for your fighting scenes. You instead write fade to black (i.e MICAH) and over 30 pages of detail sex scenes throughout you books which are nothing but filler. There is no reality inside you series anymore to care for.
Everyone lives because you can not comfort dead. Maybe this is because you still harbor pain from losing your mother at a young age or your grandmother, but you are killing your series one day at a time since you won’t write death.
Life and death are hand-in-hand. It is the saying: “'On the Day You Were Born, You Begin to Die.”
Anita lives a life where waking up could be her last. She is now apart of the police world (kind of has been since book 1), but she takes risks with her life. She is around bad people and monsters alike. Now (since NIC-the newest book) the world Anita lives in, no one dies but the bad guys and evening than not so much. This is preposterous to believe a world with more bad guys not to mention evil under foot doesn’t die.
In reality, police officers are shot at, hit at, and see more dead things than they should ever see. Heck, there are officers who die. It is sad but it happens. He did his/her job and got killed by saving the world in some small way.
But why isn’t Anita following reality? Why isn’t your book coming anywhere close to what reality is? Are you hiding from death? Why aren’t people she loves dying?
In life, you fall in and out of love, people die, people get hurt, you make friends, and you lose friends. Anita has done none of these things. The last person to dies was in book 1 with Philip, but you have made a promise to yourself and to Anita (which makes me question your sanity) no one she cares for will die. Well, honey you know first hand fate, god, or the powers that be will take a love one from you without asking. Why haven’t your books done the same?
