For some reason I cannot stop reading this series, probably because I read the first book and then got all 8 on pbs. The books are easily read, and their are so many characters that you want to find out what happens next. That being said. As I consistently post, I am so appalled by her inability to portray a person of color without the average stereotype, i.e Dr. Phang and now Lara's roommate who was shot in a convenience store. I admire that they both got together and educated themselves. What I don't understand is why Lara doesn't speak with the "Gurrrl" and a neck snap, didn't they take the same classes. ugh.
Furthermore Lara seems very smart and by the time she finds out what Jack is (really aliens and you couldn't guess vampire by the time you made your list?), she acts like an idiot. So what your saying is it was ok when you thought he was an immortal or alien? The books have become a bit predictable: meet vampire. like vampire, kiss vampire, find out he is the "living dead" horror~!, run away, come back and finally have sex on page 300.
