Lover of Snark

[mulder200.livejournal.com]

Hello, new member here. I recently got myself roped into LKH by reading The Harlequin. I wrote a book review about on my own journal and needless to say was curious for more. That book was probably one of the most explicit mainstream porn books I have ever read. LOL! I mean I was just so fasicinated that she would spend so much time on sex.

So I started to read the books from the very beginning and I have to say that while Anita is one MAJOR bitch with mental problems and issues, the books were still good to read.

So anyway, I have to ask you follower snarkers: When was the moment the series Jumping The Shark?

BTW, was I the only one who kinda got the feeling that the author was trying to set the scene for Anita sleeping with Edward's adopted son?

I'll go against the grain here and say that the series jumped the shark after Bloody Bones. Serafina was the last great villain, and IMO that was the last book that actually had the mystery aspect played reasonably well with all that sappy romatical stuff that had been seeping in after The Lunatic Cafe. It was also the last time that Team Evil played it smart. The UST with JC and Anita was great (and JC was bunking down with Jason, which is just adorkable). AND OMG WE HAD THE CORRUPTORS. And they were EVIL. And AWESOME.

After that, things really fell apart -- I...I have no words for the stupid of Burnt Offerings, or the total lack of follow-up on the matter, and Blue Moon is full of WTFery that again gets no follow-up -- and it was painfully apparent with OB -- because I maintain that after you've killed a fucking god, it's really hard to come up with a new worst Big Bad to defeat. Just look at Buffy if you want more proof of the theory in action.
