Danse Macabre, by LK Hamilton
The latest of the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series, and amazingly, it has even less plot than the last one. I really, really wonder why I keep buying these - it's just tawdry sex and arguments from beginning to end. I like the characters, which is why, but I so wish she would give them something to do other than bitch and nibble at each other.
This installment is a hefty 483 pages, of which the actual slice of action/plot takes up only 63. I'm not kidding. Those 63 aren't bad, featuring a vampire dance troupe touring the States with freedom to pass through various Masters' territories, lead by a creature who may or may not be the original Merlin, and may never have been human in the first place, attempting to take over the assembled powers at the end of tour bash. It's well done, and could have taken up a lot more of the book. Or the book could have been a lot shorter and tighter, like the earlier ones. But no, it's all dealt with in short order and we're back to the sex, and the arguments, and the arguments about sex.
And STILL no bloody Edward.
