Blood Noir

Yesterday I got & read the newest of the Anita Blake books. I found myself disappointed that it didn't continue with the 3 series plot points that came into play with the last book: the consequences of what happened with Rafael, Haven, and Malcolm's church. None of them were even MENTIONED in this book, which thoroughly annoyed me. I've decided to briefly review all 16 Anita Blake books & all 6 (so far) Merry Gentry books in the spirit of a 50 book challenge, as I read all of them this year. And I've realized that I'll have to re-read Blood Noir to be able to judge it for itself, rather than as a piece of the series.

Rael is doing better; he's playing, which is a big step towards recovery. He's still a bit unwell, but definitely improving. We've got to make sure his fever stays as low as possible, or he's at risk for another seizure.
