What I hate is that I really liked that series in the beginning, and then it just turned into this weird ass orgy thing and I was like, "... what? Why?"

Ugh. I agree with this. I was so down for supernatural crime solving! I loved it. Then the crimes got shoved to the wayside for sex and endless, endless, ENDLESS relationship conversations and bleh. Obsidian Butterfly was the last one I really enjoyed. I still reread that one and the ones leading up to it, but the ones after?

Now, Merry Gentry, on the other hand, I read because it was up front about the garbage of the plot from the beginning and I enjoy the sheer madness of how many baby daddies she's got. lol.

DA Obsidian Butterfly was the first one I happened to read, because it was what they had at the library, and I think the only one I finished. I was quite weirded out by a lot of what Anita did, but holy cow Edward was awesome.

Yes! It had so much potential for the supernatural crime genre with a kick ass female lead and then... it was just... wth???

Yesssss, I read some of the first ones, liked them. Years later I saw one of her new books and grabbed it on a whim. I couldn't believe it was the same series. I finished the book and realized that the whole book took place over about two days and all that happened was fantasy orgies and angst about said orgies.

Ugh I know, I was into it when it came out, I even had some of the comics because I loved the art, and then it just turned into this disaster orgy. D:

She got past the all-orgies, all-the-time phase with the books, but I still stopped reading them a while later. I felt like it would be easier to follow along using a spreadsheet that listed which powers Anita gained in each book, which new were-types she brought into her family, and how many times "things tightened low in her body".

Same.

I picked up a trilogy-type set (I think it was 8 books into 3? Or something) and really enjoyed it! I was a young adult and while it made me blush b/c I was the type that hadn't read published smut before, otherwise/and I was REALLY into the rest of the stories. Plus: Vampires!

I'm sure some felt it as a self-inserty type thing, too, iirc.

And then I don't recall if I picked up the next in line, or just the first one I could get my hands on, but I noticed it became more and more about Magic Sex And Bonds with the lovely touch of jealous "boyfriends" (?) and less about the mystery and detective work. And as each one (again, I don't recall which ones) went on, it got WORSE in that direction.

I gave up eventually.

I did hear a few years back (?) that it had calmed down on that, but now seeing this? I guess "calmed down" was just minor in comparison and decided to add in this, too. Does she even DO detective work anymore? Help the living find peace with the deceased? Anything like that?

she co-wrote the first few books with her husband who she modeled the Richard character after. Then she and her husband divorced and she turned Richard into a piece of shit asshole as revenge. What you see now is her terrible id without a restraining influence.
