I've ready all of the Mona Lisa books and Lucinda, Darkly. At first I couldn't stop laughing because they're Moon People and they are really over the top. But I eventually found the first book for $4 and picked it up.
I think the books are fun in the same way I think soap operas are. And the sex is at least different. But unlike with Anita, I didn't like any of the characters very much. Very meh. The writing isn't bad (except for the melodrama but that's part of the appeal). I've never read Bishop so the world building interested me and was enough to make me look past some of the over-the-top emotional crap. Definitely worth getting from the library, but I wouldn't buy them.
But I am getting a little tired of petite chicks who manage to save the day no matter how beat they are and all the men that worship them for it. Just a little.
