As you may have noticed in the past, I have a love/hate relationship with Laurell K. Hamilton‘s work, particularly with her Anita Blake books. She is capable of amazing storytelling and truly human expression of love and the challenges of complicated relationships, as well as rollicking sex scenes and well crafted mysteries. She does not always deliver on that promise, but in Hit List, she has.
