Burnt Offerings by Laurell K. Hamilton
I kept on thinking I would come back and finish this one but....
I rarely do a DNF but this I'll have to call it as it is. Why? Because when you put a book down at over 60% read and just don't want to come back to it and when you do, you rehash then don't get much further, you realize that it is just not a book (series) for you. Anita was always throwing herself into situations over her head, then things would get really dark, then she would happen upon solving the situation. Her love life was a triangle and in this it becomes a "triad" yet one, Richard, who I loved from previous books, is a total dick. So I put it in the "I'll come back to it" category but I don't think I will. The books are too dark and I don't like the characters much. Usually the stories end up being pretty good but that is just not enough for me.
I don't rate that which I don't finish. The story was pretty interesting but the characters and conflict off putting. It might have been good in the end but the struggle, I just could not do it.
