I stopped reading the series long ago, but I simply could not resist commenting to this paragraph - While I was reading Skin Trade, she said over and over that she was a government-sanctioned assassin, that vampires could be killed legally for very minor things, that she was a serial killer in her own way, and so on. And LKH tried to make her sound brooding and grimdark, but she came off as both whiny and insincere. She sounded more like she was relishing talking about this stuff so much I could just imaging LKH's inner glee as she wrote this over HOW COOL IT IS and HOW COOL ANITA IS and she just can't stop it from bleeding into Anita's words and tone instead of actually trying to look at it from the POV of someone who really was like that, really did those things, really was jaded and wounded, etc.

I've thought that Anita has sounded insincere and overwhelmingly whiny since she got hit with the amour. No, make that before then when she'd talk about her turmoil over loving two men. I can only imagine that it is worse now that she has a harem and is executing vampires. I definitely would be throwing the books across the room if it's worse than it used to be.
