Flirt by Laurell K. Hamilton

Where's the "Do Not Read This" rating? I'm thinking that LKH's actual novels are trying to work their way back up to semi-decent but her glorified short stories in novella form should be avoided at all costs.

Anita crosses yet another line that makes her more monster than heroine and in the hands of a more gifted writer, you might suspect this was intentional or would eventually lead to something big. Possibly epic, but we'd settle for entertaining. But because this is Anita Blake the sex years, you know it won't.

Anita chooses to bind someone to her metaphysically. But wait, you say, hasn't she done this before? No. Those were accidents! Or that's how Anita remembers it anyway, and I'll choose to believe it. This go round, despite not being in enough danger to warrant it, she chooses to erase someone's freewill for the rest of their unnatural life. And she's okay with it because it saved Micah, Nathaniel, and Jason.

Except it didn't because hello, these aren't ameutures. The moment it went radio silent on Anita's end, things happened that effectively wiped out the threat.

Long story short, Anita's the bad guy (but it's okay because Micah understands how hard it was for her even though she doesn't act like it was at all difficult for her to go against everything she previously stood for) and has bound a new werelion to herself. Huzzah!

Crap.
