Series stays in same vein of first book. I think book 2 is a little better as more information is given.
That's good to know then, thanks! Will have to get the next book when I'm putting in my next book order :-)
Finished
and found it an enjoyable, quick read. The characters were quite amusing and made me laugh a few times, which is always a plus in a book - for me anyway :-)

Jenny, what did you think of the book?
Eldarwen wrote: "Jenny, what did you think of the book?"It's one of my absolute favourites. Every time I reread it I find something new to love.
And you? Did you like it?
Yes, I really enjoyed that first book!! The second not so much though it still had some very awesome moments, and I got really engrossed in the third one when reading it, regularly forgetting the time.
We have 3 words left to complete after our current one is done (we only need one more A for that).Netherlands: 11 letters
Stockholm: 9 letters
Istanbul: 8 letters
I'd suggest going for Istanbul with only 8 letters as that might give us a little more chance at finishing it, granting us 10 extra points for the completed word :-)

Same here! I think in the second book I found it hard to get over (view spoiler)
Now I feel like a slacker haha. I haven't done a lot of reading today ;-)
For those ladies in the SoS group, and in the mood to reread the Anita Blake series (or Jenny, since you just read them if you want to talk about them with us?), my Bingo team decided to do a reread of the series with one book per month, for now.Just thought I'd let you know since we talked about this series quite a bit :-)
Thread is here
Thanks. I may join you all, I'm always up for rereading this series.
