Book: Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter

[Yukimura]

After finishing Outlaw Demon I am much more into the demons and the world they live in and how they and it work. One of the big draws for series like this for me is the world building. The explanation of what the Ever After is as well as the implications of Rachel's genetic tomfoolery and her connection with the Gargoyle all helped rekindle my interest in the world of the Hollows. At the same time I feel like I'm kind of over the vampires in this series. Ivy is kind of cute in how she tries to fight her urges but the tension was just getting annoying. And then of course right when it gets released Rachel finally grows some sense and reneges. I pity any man (or woman) stupid enough to ever bee in a relationship with her. She is crazy and I am with Sapphi on this, she needs a nice demon mate, he'd be less likely to put up with her bullshit and would just smack her around mentally.

As to the Danny Valentine series I only explicitly remember the daughter playing any role in the final book. She might have been in the fourth or even the third but I don't remember well enough to say she definitely was or wasn't.
