Got 'Mistral's Kiss' from the library this afternoon. Laurel Hamilton's latest pornnovel.

I'm on page 123 and no one has gotten dressed yet. Sigh.

She sort of writes Mary Sue stories. The women can all do everything and usually the guys are just there for porn effect

Well, see, I remember when the Anita Blake novels were funny smart supernatural detective stories with a short female who kicked ass. I got 'Bloody Bones' in my freebie bag at World Fantasy Con and really liked it.

Then it all downshifted into porn and I was sad. But I kept buying them. Until now.

My husband reads them like CANDY. I tell him he's reading Erotica and he says "noooo I'm reading a HORROR novel! I found it in the HORROR section"

I just roll my eyes at that.

It was explained to me that the difference between porn and erotica is that porn has pictures.

I thought the first couple of books had potential, but... eh.

The first couple were GREAT for a new writer- I couldn't wait to see where she'd take the characters. A plot, a plot, my kingdom for a plot...
