question that woke me up in the middle of the night...

Okay, so here's the thing. This question woke me up at 5am. Either that, or the two cats fornicating outside my bedroom window. Anyhow.

Why the hell was Anita relying on a hormonal birth control?

LKH makes it such a big deal to constantly inform us that Anita is becoming more and more like a lycanthrope (and a vampire, and the UBERPOWERFUL NECROMANCER OF DOOM oh my!), and explained in previous books that shapeshifters can't use normal medicines because their bodies burn them off too quicky. -scratches head.- Soooooo, by that same logic, wouldn't that make hormonal BC (the pill) ineffective?

Consistancy woman. Please. -cries a little.-

Edited to Add: It was a cry for help for consistancy. I know that she can't keep her sh*t straight. It was clearly evidenced in her first three chapters of Danse Macabre (and the hilarious flogging it endured on here!) Unfortunately, I have fallen victim to her books, and will unfortunately see this whole mess through. :D
