Burnt Offerings by Laurell K. Hamilton
1.0
I think this is the last one I'm going to read--I was going to reread up to Obsidian Butterfly, but I just cannot stand any of these people or their awful circumstances. Everyone is terrible and the books are just unpleasant.
This book takes a real turn for the stupid--Anita suddenly levels up and starts taking over random supernatural groups for no real reason. We get introduced to a couple members of the coming harem-all while staying true to the slut-shaming and gun fetishizing that we've come to know and love. It's not even fun to hate read.
The really frustrating thing about this series are the flashes of really cool mythology, worldbuilding, and genuinely good action/horror scenes that just get overwhelmed by the...everything else. It's kind of sad.
