Yeah, once upon a time I believed that LKH actually had a plan, and that plan was: Anita was going to be an object lesson in WHY the Vampire Council has made it a practice to snuff necromancers in their metaphorical cribs.
The way I saw it, the Council had been so successful for so long at doing so that they failed to recognize the threat Anita presented until too late (with a little connivance from Jean Claude in hiding just how powerful she'd become for his own devious reasons, chief among them securing his own fiefdom and safety from the Council). The early signs of "Anita Sue" is dismissed as evidence of just this long-term plot. Yes, she was gaining powers at an alarming rate, but that was (I imagined) the POINT--Necromancers are as scary to vampires as vampires are to us mere mortals and for pretty much the same reasons.
Alas, I saw more in that ink blot than was actually there.
