Yay, Haidee is reading, too, or I bet you are finished by now, huh?

RG, I don't blame you for being so numb at the end and just wanting it over. It certainly was a ride, that's for sure! The end scene with the audeur. I can certainly understand where the author was coming from, I mean all of us has mentioned using it as a weapon was the next logical step an hoping that wasn't too far in coming. I was glad we didn't have to wait for it any longer and whew! But, I guess I just wished she had written that Anita got her powerboost a different way. I would have rather read Anita was ordered by V to have actual intercourse with Rick than what she actually did. In front of strangers no less. Me included, cause ye gads. I mean if you love somebody that's one thing, but in this situation? There's sucking on his blood, among other things and then drippin. I hated the dripping. No. Just no.

I miss Anita kicking Otto's ass, too. Or at least standing up to him a great deal more than what she did. Both Antia and Edward realized that eventually one of them would have to take him out, that I understood. However, Anita has teased a much larger shark in the room than Otto. Many times over just cause she got fed up. I just had this visual of the first Indiana Jones movie. That scene where where the crowd seperates and the intimidating dude with that giant sword comes forth and acts all scary and Indy gets this look in his face like he doesn't have time for theatrics. So, he just takes his gun out and shoots him. The crowd cheers. I love that scene. They should eventually do something that with Otto. Seriously.

Oh, good. 2 votes so far that MD isn't dead.

And yet another that during a courtship no poaching is suppose to be allowed. We see how well that works. I don't think there's ever been another MV that hasn't wanted and drooled over the potential power Anita would bring to the table. Interesting since Anita herself says she's a pain in the ass.

Yes, I do think Anita will take the 4th mark. When is the question. IMO, it's overdue. I think Anita thinks everything should calm down first, when the exact opposite seems to be true. Things won't ever calm and they'll just get worse until she offers herself. And that's what I'd like to see. I think I said in the past it would probably be a scene where she didn't have a choice. Would either be an emotional decision of life and death and/or danger. At this point, I'm feeling JC should get some genuflection without the added baggage for being so patient.

RG, do YOU think Anita will take the 4th mark? What about you, Haidee?

Haidee, about Bernardo. I get where you are coming from. B was rather tame at times, but that's not the way I remember him and this story seemed to start him off that way, which didn't gel for me. Maybe I need to reread that book again. It would be such a hardship, tho! *sigh*

That was a good way of putting it. Anita is very tired. Maybe getting away from the marshal stuff for a while would be a wise thing. It would actually serve all other law enforcement peeps right if they tried to face some serious disaster on their own and Dolf had to come hat in hand.

After some consideration I'm giving ST 3 1/2 out of 5 stars.

I had to think about this for a while. Not really sure how I feel about getting rid of Requiem. Isn't he the only one who can, for lack of a better term, regenerate his ability to feed Anita's ardeur? OR was that a different character. I mean, why write it that he ~ gag~ moons over her and also be the only one who has that gift. I'm all for cutting back on Anita's partners, waaaay back. But why write them as in love with her in the first place? And if Requiem leaves and becomes second to another MV, will he become bitter and if THAT MV wants Anita as his own, what then? Who's side is R on? Again, for that matter, if they get rid of a lot of the other lovers that ~ gag~ moon over her and THEY become bitter, isn't there a potential for things to go really badly? Ugh. I'm thinking again too much aren't I?

JC and the final mark. I agree with you Haidee, JC is worried about who will be master. I have no idea how all that is going to play out, but I wish they'd play ball already. It's getting old and I don't think LKH can drag it out much longer. Well, she CAN, but I'd rather she didn't. Then again, if we all agree that MD isn't dead? And she as well as Belle have marked Anita and then you've got other MV's wanting to do that as well? JC better hurry up and make up his mind or somebody is going to attempt a coup. An Anita coup.

Richard. Ugh. Nuff said. He was mentioned in passing, but only once and he also needs to stop being a weinie. Isn't he suppose to be seeing a therapist or something? I want my Raz back. I want JC/Anita/Raz tri strong and healthy.

OH, what do you think could happen with this blue tiger that's, what? Like 17, right? I agree, could get very messy!

Yes, very nice use of witchcraft. I wish we had had more of that. It happened sooooo fast, if you blinked, you'd have missed it. I'd have liked some acknowledgement of the look on their faces before they went "poof".

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I'm okay with Anita backing away from her law enforcement status. Not forever, but a couple books of working the graveyards and dealing with "other" issues would be welcome.
