I have to agree with the people that love the stuff about how the supernatural world meets the human world and the social ramifications there of. I think a lot of the reason I hate the books after The Killing Dance is that Anita's complete absorption into the supernaturals' world makes less and less sense. Sure, I guess as human servant and lover of Jean Claude she'd get pulled into vamp politics, but he is such a wussy master of the city that I can't believe that no one has dethroned him. Anita is still just a human so I find it so unbelievable that she manages to scare the pants off all the vampire big wigs and yet it doesn't provoke them to go all out to kill her and JC. I still don't get why she's got a place in the werewolf pack and they need her as the pack assassin. I get that before Richard was in charge the pack was so dysfuctional that they needed someone who would come in and start busting heads, but why would Richard let her stay when she causes him so much grief? The issue boils down to the fact that Anita is still just a human. If one of those werebeasties really wanted to do her in before she could kill them, I'm sure they could. It's just the monsters always seem to play by some set of gentlemanly rules. There never seems to be a surprise attack, and by this I mean when Anita is completely and totally off guard and unarmed. No one ever attacks her before she gets an inkling from someone that trouble's a-come'n. At least in the early books Anita made sense as a vampire/werewolf hunter. She had to hunt vampires with caution by engaging them during the day. Werewolfs don't have any magical powers so I can buy that you can take them down with a few slugs if you can get the drop on them. I just can't believe that now that Anita is tangling with some increasingly powerful monsters that a gun trumps all their intangible power.
