Laurell K. Hamilton (Anita Blake Novels)

[Jessica]

Ok, so I just finished reading Skin Trade and wondered if anyone else read this and found they thought Otto/Olaf was kinda sexy? Sure he's a serial killer. But his behavior... Anita has totaly gotten under his skin and to see him just want her, not for the violence of it... somehow it was really sexy.

Then again, I've always thought it unfortunate that she didn't see Edward as a love interest. Yum.

Anyone else feel this way? Or has my badboy streak gone too far?

[Darcy]

For me he is just creepy!! There is no way I would touch him with a ten foot pole, not even if he was the last chance for procreation, the race would die with me!!

I do like Edward and it would be nice if they would have went that way, but it is almost like they have a brother/sister relationship and I like that. She has so many men in her life it is nice to see one just as a friend.

Olaf is def interesting I dont know if I would call it sexy but there is something there about him being such a bad guy who seems to actually be having feelings for someone he normally wouldnt makes you think more about him. Edward though I do live and its a very like and alike with him and Anita, which if she wasnt already involved with so many men would look like the ideal for her. Neither of them would have to hide what they are with eachother as he does with who is now. I do love it when Edward comes around he def one of my faves.

[Jessica]

Oh, Olaf is totaly creepy. And up until Skin Trade I just found him scary/creepy.

Something in the way Anita puts him outside his comfort zone was attractive.

I guess Edward was too much of a mentor for her to ever want to go there. But I have a feeling she's really missing out.

I haven't read past book six, but I'm definitely a fan of Edward. :)

haha I have to admitt I have a weird liking for Olaf lol Though I have not yet read Skin Trade. I really like Edward though..whhooo lol

[Jessica]

Oh, if you have it too, you need to read Skin Trade. He & Anita have some interesting moments.

[Carolyn F.]

Olaf would like too much blood for me (well any blood doesn't work for me). And the holding her hand inside the body, super creepy.

[Jessica]

Oh yeah, Olaf in the long run- totaly creepy. But throughout Skin Trade he makes comments and does things that show he's be willing to 'be normal' with Anita.

[Cindi]

Jessica/Blahyze: Get help. Get help now. You are NOT supposed to find Olaf attractive BEFORE Skin Trade. You are supposed to be in the "what if Edward and Anita mambo'd" still . . .

[Jessica]

Yeah, it was Skin Trade that put me onto him, not before- PROMISE! haha

[Carolyn F.]

I'm reading Flirt. Just started it last night. Except for them discussing flirting A LOT it's pretty good so far.

[Cindi]

Carolyn F., did you like it? I just finished it last night - it was a really quick read - and liked it but it did seem kinda bland for LKH. Anita only had one orgasm!

[The Flooze]

Lol. I was feeling the "what if" with Olaf at times too. It was a very bizarre and squicky feeling. I don't like to examine it too hard!

[Carolyn F.]

I liked it Cindi, but it felt so short to me. I can't wait until the next book coves out. I know what you mean about only one orgasm! Poor Nicky though, he's really screwed if she doesn't start letting him get closer to her since she kind of took him over.
