Is this true?

[chococomilk.livejournal.com]

For those who have bravely read "Bullet" - is it true that JC and Asher have finally been allowed to sleep with each other, and that Micah and Nathaniel have suddenly become lovers out of the blue? I came across these rather astonishing claims on the Amazon forums. It seems bizarre that LKH has done a complete 180 on Anita's refusal to allow "her" men to sleep with other people and got characters getting together all of a sudden who never even had interest in each other previously. In one of the earlier books, maybe Harlequin, it was suggested that Asher had interest in Nathaniel, but Micah? I know he does whatever Anita wants, but what?

It is, unfortunately, very true. Not only does Anita let her men sleep with each other now, but she's developed a bit of a fetish for watching them. Even Richard's involved.. which makes me want to bitchslap LKH, because he was very "I don't do men" forever, now he's making out with Asher. The new guy that gets added who's name is a pain to spell came across as more interested in Asher than he was in Anita, he and Nathaniel even took turns blowing him. As for the deal with Nathaniel and Micah, I try not to think about it because it makes my brain hurt thinking that one of these days, Micah will be involved in anal. :/

He's said something about it before along the lines of it being more socially acceptable for women to be bisexual than it is for men, particularly with leaders of lycanthrope packs, so I'm thinking he may indeed like men on some level, but repressed those feelings to the point of mild homophobia. Seems a bit deep considering what the series turned into now, but there was an actual plot when we first met him, so it wouldn't be unheard of at the time.

haha I've always wondered about that too

Richard and Asher? Seems random, not to mention wrong. I could of seen Richard and JC.

He made out with JC during the giant orgy we didn't have to see. It was all just weird.

"The new guy that gets added who's name is a pain to spell came across as more interested in Asher than he was in Anita, he and Nathaniel even took turns blowing him."

I noticed that too. I was like "wow, he's really into dudes, dude." :P


Also his name is Mephastophilis. I have a prediction that in the next book She'll say "Mephastophilis is our new gold tiger (no, seriously a gold tiger). We call him 'Devil' for short etc..."

Mephistopheles, actually, if LKH bothered to check things. I suspect she'll end up Mephistophallus.

I thought it was good for Asher, in an "I'm trying to make sense of something ridiculously random" sort of way. He's been bitching about all the straight men for ages, he grabbed himself two major victories in one book by getting JC and something that doesn't seem to have any concept of sexual orientation.

I'm leaning more towards the hope that there won't be a next book so I don't have to torture myself reading it, but I know better than to hope too much for that one and figure he'll end up permanently called Dev until Asher comes to his senses, takes his hyena's (and the tiger) and goes off to murder people for his own territory. The last part's probably a long shot.

LKH actually already did this in Bullet. Mephistopheles refers to himself as Devil (with the colloquial 'Dev' being used as well). His sister is Angel, apparently there's one named Thorn as well? This along with Cynric reducing his name to Cyn (Sin) really just made the names a bit too much for me to swallow anymore.

She's probably doing this to Richard to "punish" the ex for something. Since Richard was Hub #1 & after things went south, Richard became the new whipping post to make a bitchy character.

I pity that poor guy when people recognize him who've read this nonsense lately. :(
