Burnt Offerings by Laurell K. Hamilton
4.0
This is a far better book than the six that came before it in the series.
Anita is a lot less annoying here, and she starts earning her role as MC. There is less blah blah about weaponry and less empty grandstanding. The dialogue is a tad less cheesy and more to the point, and fitting with the story development.
The plot follows a logical progression but there are still enough surprises to keep the reader on her toes; and everything that happens with the characters contributes to their development and characterization, which is a VERY welcome change.
As a bonus, this is where Asher and Nathaniel are first introduced, so there’s that.
This is a reread for me and so far it’s mostly been a guilty pleasure, one of those series that make you roll your eyes but keep you coming back because they are so bad they are good 😁 But this one I actually really enjoyed! So 4 STARS it is.
