Yea, I suppose I'm simply voicing something rather than actually looking for a viable explanation, since really there isn't one.
It just bothers me with these books, plain and simple. It bothers me that Anita actually used to be someone you could believe in upholding the law. It didn't last long, but for a while she was a powerful woman in a world where two forces, the human world and the supernatural world were making an effort to co exist, who officially served a purpose, defending people from the bad guys in the preternatural world. At the same time she was also a part of that world, relating and even sympathizing with some of the 'monsters', and over the course of the early series she had to start blurring her lines about what made a human and what made a monster.
That's what she started out as. It bothers me that LKH holds her up as someone to be looked up to, like she's actually a moral figure in a way, when she's NOT, not as she is now, but she -could- have been.
