I love series and I love the part in the series when you get to the staunch meddling head of family. They always fall the hardest. I did not love this story however. Having read the previous brothers/sisters books I could not wait to get to Sebastians story. I was disappointed because the story was sort of boring and so improbable that it just didn’t fly. I really wanted to like this book too…..
Perhaps I have been reading too many historicals. I will take a break from this genre lest I trash the next few ones I read. I need to find an original story that takes me out of the funk… This ain’t it, sorry.

I want to start out by saying that I have every Kenyon on my keeper shelf and am always rushing out to get the next one. That said, I am going to place this copy of The Dream-Hunter on my shelf next to my Kenyon collection out of a collectors stubornness; but very sadly, I don’t think I can finish it. I have forced myself to read up to chapter 9 and I just cannot get into it. Normally receiving a new Kenyon was a sure sign that I was going to be pulling an all nighter, but when I first got this book a while ago, I had trouble reading it from the get go.

Jennifer Crusie is a wonderfully talented writer. I love her whit and great character development. I don’t however love this book.
There is very little character development and the plot was just plain stupid. There was no chemistry between the characters. They just felt flat to me.

I just could not finish it. I put this book down after the 25th chapter. I can sum this book so far in a few sentences - spoiler alert - Anita has sex with almost anyone, thinks about sex with anyone, everyone that sees her wants to have sex with her, everyone that touches wants to have sex with her. Thats it folks……. There is a few mentions that she may or may not be pregnant, at this point I really don’t give a shit if I ever find out the result of this “pregnancy” I am that effing bored with this story.

Having read every Hamilton, Anita Blake book I was thrilled to be one of the first on the long paperbackswap wish list for this one. I cracked it open as soon as it arrived and quickly read it in one sitting.
It is more of a short story than a novel. I cannot say that I have enjoyed the last few of the Blake series and this is just more of the same.
