Query: Curse you, Diana Gabaldon!

I knew that I should not buy this book. The series has been getting worse and worse. I think that I actually did not buy the last one in this series.But I read the DG quote, and sure enough, my hand reached out and bought the book.What an awful excuse of a book. It is nothing more than a very poor short story. It is bulked out with improbable sex talk and rehashing of old details.I get it, I get it... Laurell Hamilton likes her men in short shorts and ankle-length hair. The sex-toy men in both of her series are amply lock-endowed. Her books have become self-indulgent to an absurd degree. Don't get me wrong -- I like a steamy scene as much as the next person, but LKH is not even pretending to have plots anymore. Her heroine in this book is boring and stupid.This book was so bad that I am actually going to toss it. I could not even finish it, as it became a grindingly unpleasant, pointless waste of time.
