Anita Blake fights off Red Woman's Husband and goes home to deal with her life, her 'boys' and St. Louis.
Then within one month (two months?) of that, she's entrenched in the ArDeur, assaulted and raped, broken up with Richard, invited the rapist into her home, is now having sex in public with whomever is closest, repeatedly, until she bleeds, doesn't find anything wrong with her behavior, doesn't think she's being used, hasn't been to work in ages and called her best friend a jealous ho?
On top of that, Edward shows up, and doesn't think anything is hinky with her since the last time he saw her when she was being a strong, independent woman who'd cut the men in her life off in order to have time to think?
OMG!
Anita's dead.
Anita's dead and she's in hell and because it's hell she doesn't even know this is all her torture....
Wait, no, didn't someone promise her they could make her do things and make her like it?
She's not dead. She's been captured.
OMG! OMG! Anita Blake's been captured, mind whammied and turned into a sex jester for some Vampire Council Member's amusement!!!!!
OMG! OMG! Jean Claude totally allowed himself to be a conduit to manipulate Anita in order to continue being Master of the City. He gave up the necromancer for the good of all VampireKind!
OMG! And maybe Richard keeps picking fights with her cause...cause he's protected from the mind whammy? But how? I mean even Edward doesn't seem to be protected....
OMG it's a big arching mystery and the only problem is, is that it's too big for LKH to write and that's why it seems to suck, but think about it, think about it!

Wait, I think I had this thought before. Was it this well thought out? Did I smack myself upside the head for trying to see story where really there isn't any?
(But look, look at the time line! Mind whammy! Big time! That's why everyone in the world is suddenly a jealous hater!)
Please someone stop me before I talk about how the Harlequin Squad is really there to make sure the Necromancer's conditioning has really stuck and she'll now try to use sex before using her actual powers of smite.
Hope is a terrible thing to waste in the Anitaverse.
