First I want to say, that if you're not looking for something erotic and sensual, then you should move on. I won't compare these books with soft-core porn, because the writing style is simply too good, but they are definitely explicit. I'm with the lovers of this series, and not the haters (although I do understand the need to keep reading a series that I roll my eyes at) and really just love the story, regardless of where it's come so far.

Well, even though I REALLY enjoyed reading this book, it may have been my least favorite in the series. I could've used a little more action and guns and violence and all that. LOL But, the story was still GREAT. I had a hard time tearing myself away from it none-the-less. Darn the need to sleep! But a couple of hours did and I was back to finish the book. I don't know how she does it, but Hamilton knows how to write an intoxicating story. Even though it was a bit soap opera, which normally drives me nuts, I couldn't pull myself away!

I loved that there were mermaids in this one! Although I wish there were more of them. Hopefully, there will be more in future books. I really do love how the author keeps introducing a mix of mythological (or Dungeons & Dragonsish--yes, I am a gamer nerd ;P) creatures into her stories. The RPGer in me says "Yay!"

I also found it hilarious when Anita called herself the "Pornographic Snow White" when she was counting off that she had 7 lovers. Although, I do think it's annoying that people around her like to refer to her as a slut. It's the present people, and women would like to have full equal rights. For centuries it has been perfectly acceptable for a man to have a harem. So why not a woman? I say "Go Anita!"
