Spoilers Harlequin: Peter - The Pimp in training

[ravenhaley.livejournal.com]

I took Flo's adivce and decided to make a thread about Peter.

So Peter is suppose to come to St. Louis with Edward and Olaf. 

Here are the Spoilers for the Harlequin:

Peter gets clawed pretty good by a weretiger trying to help Anita.

He needs rough sex because he has issues with women because of his rape by Amanda in OB- and it was too rough for his first two girlfriends.

And, the kicker of it all - but no big surprise- he has a crush on Anita and she's his hero because she saved his family.

This is just gross. Peter having a crush on Anita is just wrong, but of course he has to crush on her ... there is no one else for him to crush on who isn't the "DIETY". 

In the timeline, Peter is suppose to be 14/15 years old. Yet, it would seem LKH will forget about his age because she forgets everything else (i.e. Asher smokes, Damian's age and oh how about a PLOT!)

But this isn't the first time LKH has mention sex and someone under the age of 18. If I remember, DM had the Siren making deals with Anita to sleep with her kids for them to come into their powers. I only thing one of them is over the age limit. So this doesn't surprise me. It is very much the direction of where LKH has gone now. The only thing on her mind is sex, sex, and more sex. For it is the only thing she writes about and there isn't anything to stop her including age limit.

As for Peter, I am not surprise this is where they are taking him. Look at Nate for crying out loud. This was a creature Anita was trying to help since BO and BM. Yet, somewhere from OB and NIC he no longer became this scared helpless barely over the age of 18 who was abused and kicked to the sideline. Oh no, he became a "stud muff"    Which I never got that. Nate is not a strong character. I still see the character as a broken boy who doesn't know how to take care of himself without selling himself one way or another. That alone is a reason I never liked the character.

There is just some things you can cross the line but others you can't. Furry sex and underage sex is just things no one should touch. Someone apparently doesn't know that. We have seen Furry sex  .... it is a matter of time for the other and it looks like it could be this next book. Of course, to justify the means LKH will just forget Peter's real ago and call him 18. I mean his "fake" ID says so. *eyeroll*

I think LKH won't write about therapy maybe because she is afraid she will learn that sex can't and will not solve your problems. Instead of drinking like most "normal" people, LKH has made Anita and the rest of the characters think sex is the answer to the questions. Anita still hasn't gotten over her mother's death or her father re-marrying. How about her ex who left her because she was mixed. She still harbors these issues and is making her life evening more of a mess the more she buries the problems underneath the next person she sleeps with.

Or maybe this is just life imitating art? 

Thoughts?

Exactly what's going to happen. There is a megaspoiler over on the board, and Nate asks for BSDM and says that if she can't give it to him then he'd like to get his violence elsewhere while sleeping with her.

I have no words.

[saucyirishlass.livejournal.com]

Is that the megaspoiler, or is it in addition to Nathaniel's request?

[ladymuttly1.livejournal.com]

The megaspoiler is a chapter by chapter reporting of TH. Someone got an accidental audiobook release and is giving it to the board. Some chapters are summaries and some are completely quoted.

The Nate thing takes almost 4 chapters.

The I have no words is my own.

Thank you!

*reads* Wow. She really isn't taking the good crack anymore. That's just... sad.

[stefflebug.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've just finished reading whats up there. 17 chapters so far and I want to bleach my eyeballs to get away from it. And it isn't even the book proper, it's just the synopsis.

Gah. Sad isn't the word for it. Pathetic maybe.

[summersdream.livejournal.com]

Pathetic is good. I mean, even the synopsis isn't making sense.

-The First Rule of Harlequin is that you don't talk about the Harlequin! Except, wait, you totally can. A lot. Le what?

-Richard is a closet hard-core sadist and possibly like one of the hard core-est sadists to ever sadist?

-Micah is PERFECTION incarnate? Still? Can he get more boring?

-JC's robe has fur trim??

-Anita just got PMS'ed via Harlequin spinal tap? o.O

[stefflebug.livejournal.com]

-MOAD decided not to take Anita because she doesn't 'do' wolves? She is darkness incarnate for pity's sake.

-JC shows up for 30 seconds after 17 chapters. No, wait, that's a good thing.

-Nathaniel is PMS'ing why, exactly?

-The security forces only just discovered the bugs? WTF?

-The Harlequin use 3 different masks, except they use other masks as well?

Yeah, this and all the things you've posted = so not reading this book.

Just reading the spoilers and summaries killed my libido for the evening... I dread to think what the book is capable of.

[stefflebug.livejournal.com]

I too have no words

I'm beginning to seriously dislike this woman's writing and her totally *headdesk* escuse for plots.
