Fifty Shades of Grey the movie
What did you think of the Fifty Shades of Grey movie, Tiger?
I will tell you, audience.
Oh and also if you're looking for a thoughtful balanced social justice-y thing like I usually try to provide, this...is not that thing. You have been warned.
First, the movie is a thousand times better than the book because they had the ability to cut away great swathes of really shitty writing. So all the

Dottie's chapter is here
How many times has Anita fainted in the span of twenty very short chapters? At least twice, I think, because I'm pretty sure she also fainted after Asher bit her. This is just laziness. It's the sort of thing an author uses when they don't know how to close a scene. I mean, sometimes sure. People pass out. It's a thing that happens. But this often? I'm giving your

Dottie's chapter is here
And Chelsea is still doing Merry Gentry, here
So Jason is so fucking stupid it literally takes Anita the good part of two chapters to help him put on latex gloves.
Dolph shows up. He's another one of those characters where LKH tries to give him a personality by assigning him arbitrary physical and/or mannerism traits. In Dolph's case, he happens to be 6'8. That and

Cerulean Sins Chapter Nineteen
They're going to another crime scene, this time in a neighborhood called Chesterfield. Anita describes Chesterfield in the same mind numbingly inane way she described Wildwood.
To wit: "There were medium sized trees in the yards, which meant the area was over ten years old. It takes time to grow trees."
Words is LKH's business.
I love how this bullshit about trees is supposed to show me

Cerulean Sins Chapter Eighteen
Anita finally gets to the crime scene itself, despite absolutely zero investigative strategy being applied. There's a guy nailed to the wall of what I can only assume is a house. The details consist of "small porch" "hallway" and "straight backed chair."
Anita thinks it's weird that someone took the time to nail this guy to the wall, yet didn't imitate the crucifixion of Jesus.
She touches

Cerulean Sins Chapter Seventeen
Anita and Jason continue pissing all over the crime scene. We have the obligatory random law enforcement official who tries to give Anita shit, this time over Jason being her boy toy. He says something like
"I like my women bigger." In reference to Anita. Anita says,
"Funny, that's what your wife says."
Does...does this make sense to anyone else? Because I'm not sure it does. I mean, is she

Cerulean Sins Chapter Sixteen
"The first crime scene was in Wildwood, the new bastion of money and social climbing."
Something about this sentence hits my ear all wrong. I am not quite sure what the problem is, but it's awkward, even stilted. Also holy shit, I did some research on Wildwood and it is 92% white.
Does Anita judge the people here for profiting from gentrification, or presumably keeping what few PoC there are

Cerulean Sins Chapter Fifteen
Anita wakes up in a strange bedroom with Jason beside her, answering the phone. She somehow realizes they are still in the Circus even though she doesn't recognize this particular room. How the hell big is this club supposed to be, and why hasn't Anita been over the whole place with a fine tooth comb? You'd think a vampire hunter, currently engaged (is she engaged to him yet, or am I thinking

Cerulean Sins Chapter Fourteen
Dottie's chapter
Back to Anita.
Jason comes in to get Anita out from between J.C. and Asher, who have both 'died' now that dawn is here. Everyone is covered in blood and Anita is sick from blood loss. Why the hell Asher fed off of her to the point where she's in medical distress I don't know; he knew he would be unresponsive shortly after and that none of them had set up any contingency

Yes, I'm still writing
Here's an excerpt:
"You’re smart, Mor. And I’m so proud of you. But you don’t know anything important.”
“How can you say that, Dad? I worked my ass off to get where I am.”
“I know that.”
“Then what the hell do you mean? Because I don’t know to weave a fucking basket or catch a goddamn salmon?”
His face went hard and cold. Or I thought that at first. But on second glance I saw pain there
