It looks like a cover to a typical Romance or Erotica book. Not that there's anything wrong with that but I think her publishers are more aware of the genres she writes than LKH herself. She must really be in denial if she looks at that cover and thinks Urban Fantasy which is what she claims to write. It looks nothing like the other covers for Urban Fantasy books which are currently on the market.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. I think I remember hearing somewhere that she doesn't read UF, despite having "created" it. Which I kind of understand (avoiding other writers influencing your work), but still, if you're going to write in a genre (let alone "create" one), you should at least take a look at what your colleagues are doing.

It would not surprise me at all if that's true and she doesn't read UF. I actually don't think she reads much period. I never see her reccing other authors/books which other authors do in their blogs.

I believe that there was a book with weretigers in Vegas that came out not too long before Skin Trade [and its weretigers in Vegas] came out.

I never see her reccing other authors/books which other authors do in their blogs.
Considering her personality, I don't think Laurell K. Hamilton thinks any series is worthy of recommendation unless it's written by Laurell K. Hamilton.

Kitty and the Dead Man's Hand came out in February and Skin Trade came out in June of the same year. IDK if Carrie Vaughn does ARCs, but it's not unheard of for LaLa to be still writing a book due out in June in February.
