[01] The so-called coalition government got vote of confidenceAnkara Anatolia news agency (08.05.05) reports from occupied Lefkosia that the so-called coalition government established between the Republican Turkish Party (RTP) and the Democrat Party (DP) on April 26th, 2005 won vote of confidence at the so-called Assembly on Sunday.
Totally 28 "deputies" gave vote of confidence, while 19 "deputies" didn't give vote of confidence to the so-called coalition government led by the "Prime Minister" Ferdi Sabit Soyer. "Deputies" of the opposition parties National Unity Party (NUP) and Peace and Democracy Movement (PDM) didn't give vote of confidence to the so-called coalition government.
The so-called government program was presented to the "Assembly" last Tuesday and the discussions on it were completed late Friday.
The so-called coalition government has 29 seats in the 50-seat "assembly".
Mr Ferdi Sabit Soyer, addressing the "assembly" after his "government" won vote of confidence, said that the "government" would take into consideration the criticisms and they would be in dialogue with all sections of the society. He also said that they would also be in cooperation with the so-called President Mehmet Ali Talat and Turkey in the Cyprus solution process.
Making a peace call to the government of the Republic of Cyprus, Mr Soyer said: "Turkish Cypriots want to build a future with the Greek Cypriots on the basis of political equality and partnership."
Referring to the remarks of the President of the Republic of Cyprus Mr Tassos Papadopoulos, Mr Soyer said: "Papadopoulos told a foreign delegation that 'can 82 percent of a population be equal with that of 18 percent?' Such a discourse was against the EU principles and democratic values".
[02] Mr Soyer stated that they will start a legal battle with the Greek CypriotsAnkara Anatolia news agency (06.05.05) reports from occupied Lefkosia that while the so-called Prime Minister Ferdi Sabit Soyer was addressing the so-called Assembly to respond to criticism expressed about the "government's program", referred to the lawsuits filed by some Greek Cypriots against Turkish Cypriots in an attempt to reclaim ownership of property. Mr Soyer noted that the government of the Republic of Cyprus had no sovereignty over the "north" and could, therefore, not represent the Turkish Cypriots. Mr Soyer said that their defence would be based on the argument that courts of the Republic of Cyprus could not hear lawsuits brought against Turkish Cypriots because they had no jurisdiction over the "north". Noting that Mr Tassos Papadopoulos had taken a wrong step about the issue, Soyer said: "He will eventually fall into the pit he has dug for us".
Moreover, Turkish Cypriot daily Cyprus TIMES newspaper (09/05/05) reports that during the meeting of Mr Soyer with a delegation of the Turkish Cypriot Chamber of Industry, Mr Soyer said that they will start a legal battle with the Greek Cypriots alongside the ongoing political battle and added: "We will not bow our heads to the property game and we will not allow them to drag our people into a state of fear and anxiety. We will stand up to this affair that Greek ruling powers have started with their perception of dominance. We will strive and succeed to reach a conclusion in accordance with the will of the Turkish Cypriots and their political equality as demonstrated on the 24th of April. We will confront the Greek ruling powers in the legal arena. I want to relay the message that we will increase our efforts in this respect while continuing our political struggle."
Noting that they will keep pushing for the lifting of "sanctions" with the aid of various segments of the community, Mr Soyer concluded that they will be successful and that he disagreed with the view that international law was preventing the lifting of sanctions.
[03] The so-called Prime Minister lives in a house that belongs to a Greek CypriotTurkish Cypriot daily GUNES newspaper (09/05/05), in its front leader page, reports that the house that the General Secretary of the Republican Turkish Party (RTP) and "Prime Minister", Mr Ferdi Sabit Soyer, is living in the occupied Famagusta belonged to a Greek Cypriot before the Turkish invasion.
The paper wonders whether Mr Soyer will appear before a court of the Republic of Cyprus if he gets a summons.
[04] Turkish Cypriot lawyer points out that the so-called Compensations Committee is established based only on the principle of "expropriating land on racial basis"In an interview to Hasan Hasturer of daily KIBRIS newspaper (09.05.05) Mr Murat Metin Hakki, young lawyer who is doing his master now in Harvard University, has expressed the opinion that the occupation regime expropriated the Turkish occupied Greek Cypriot properties based only on the basis of the "race". Mr Hakki points out that the so-called Compensations Committee has also been established based on the same principle.
Responding to a question, Mr Hakki said, inter alia the following:
"According to the Article 159 of the `TRNC� constitution, the Greek Cypriot property, which was already abandoned on 13 February 1975, the day the Turkish Cypriot Federated State was declared, has automatically become the `TRNC� state property as our 1985 constitution entered into force. That is, there is an attempt for expropriation based only on the principle of the race. The Compensations Committee we are talking about has been established on the basis of this principle. The European Court of Human Rights, even if it does not at all go into details in the Xenides-Arestis case, by referring to article 14 of the European Convention of Human Rights gives the impression that it will not approve this methodology of article 159. ..."
Meanwhile, Turkish Cypriot YENI DUZEN newspaper (09.05.05) publishes an interview with Turkish Cypriot lawyer Ali Fevzi Yesilada who says that there is a contradiction in the so-called constitution of the occupation regime on the issue of the occupied Greek Cypriot properties, because in article 159 the Turkish Cypriots claim that the Greek Cypriots have no rights any more over their occupied properties, while afterwards they said that if the Greek Cypriots made an application to the regime and take compensation, their property rights will be eliminated.
[05] Turkey's Permanent Representative to the UN commented on the Cyprus issueAnkara Anatolia news agency (07.05.05) reports from New York that Turkey's Permanent Representative to the UN, Baki Ilkin, briefing the reporters last Saturday, said that the UN summit to be held in September would be in three stages.
Mr Ilklin, inter alia, said that whether the Cyprus process would progress or not depended on Greek Cypriot side's answer to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan. He also noted that there was no new development on the Cyprus issue in the United Nations and added: "UN Secretary-General Annan has a clear demand. The Secretary-General said that if the Greek Cypriot side explains clearly, in a written statement, provisions of the Annan plan on which the side has concerns, he would examine these objections. He said that otherwise he would not deal with them. Everyone waits for the answer of Greek Cypriot side currently".
Alleging that the Greek Cypriot side's basic problem stemmed from the philosophy and basic parameters of Annan plan, Mr Ilkin said: The "Greek Cypriot side thinks that it was the only government of the island and expects Turkish Cypriots to be included in itself as a society or minority. It is the solution for Greek Cypriots. The Turkish Cypriot side wants a solution based on a political equality."
Mr Ilkin noted that it was difficult to put into action the Annan plan, stating that the Turkish side supported the plan, since it was based on partnership and added that the Greek Cypriot side rejected the plan for the same reason.
Replying to a question, Mr Ilkin said that if Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's schedule of his visit to the United States became definite and the date of his visit was to be appropriate for Annan's program, Erdogan and Annan could have a meeting. Mr Ilkin said that both sides wanted to have a meeting.
Stating that the Republican People's Party (RPP) deputy Kemal Dervis was elected as the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) Director and it was a great prestige for Turkey, Mr Ilkin said that Dervis would visit New York at the beginning of next month and hold talks there for 10 days.
[06] Akinci stated that the issue of bringing an end to the fact that Turkish citizens enter occupied Cyprus using their identity card, is a social demandTurkish Cypriot daily AFRIKA newspaper (09.05.05) reports that Mr Mustafa Akinci, the chairman of the Peace and Democracy Movement (PDM), called on the occupation regime to give an end to the Turkish citizens entering occupied Cyprus using their identity card.
According to a statement issued by the PDM's political bureau, Mr Akinci said that this is "a social demand" and called on the so-called government of the pseudostate to listen to this demand. He also called on the so-called government to discuss the issue with Turkish officials and to remove this practice, claiming that the Turkish Cypriots are left defenceless by its "state".
Mr Akinci stated that the fact that the "government" changed in the pseudostate does not mean that the status quo has also changed. "The most important element that the status quo should change would be the transfer of the Turkish administration to the Turkish Cypriots", he stated.
Mr Akinci also said that the most important issue at the agenda of the society is the guarantee of the security of life and property.
[07] Turkish Prime Minister will participate in COE Summit. Row as to who gives orders in the occupation regimeAnkara Anatolia news agency (06.05.05) reports from Strasbourg that the Council of Europe (COE) Heads of State and Government Summit will be held on May 16th and 17th in the Polish capital, Warsaw. The Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan will take part in the Summit.
[08] The so-called police beat workers on strike at the illegal Tymbou airportUnder the banner front-page title "Here you are democracy" Turkish Cypriot daily KIBRIS newspaper (07.05.05) reports that the "police" of the occupation regime have beaten and dragged on the ground workers of the "Turkish Cypriot Airlines" who were on strike at the illegal Tymbou airport. Women have also been among the workers.
Members of the HAVA - Sen Trade Union were arrested because they entered the building of the "airport" during the strike.
The paper writes that charges have been filed against 178 persons. The lawyers of the trade union Savas Atakan and Suleyman Dolmaci are among these persons.
Meanwhile, under the banner front-page title "The Prime Minister as well does not know", Turkish Cypriot daily AFRIKA newspaper (08.05.05) reports that the so-called prime minister of the regime, Mr Ferdi Sabit Soyer, said he did not know by whose orders the "police" were sent to the illegal airport. The trade union asked Mr Soyer, the following: "You said that you did not know. Who gave the police the instruction to interfere? Does the person who gave the instruction not have to inform you?"
Responding to this question Mr Soyer said: "I have launched an investigation and I will find out".
[09] VATAN newspaper supports that some Greek Cypriot employers make immoral proposals to their employees asking to bring them drugs and bullets from occupied CyprusTurkish Cypriot VATAN newspaper (08.05.05) alleges that during the last days some Greek Cypriot employers started to make immoral proposals to their Turkish Cypriot employees asking them to bring drugs and bullets from occupied Cyprus.
As the paper writes, one worker that did not want his name to be published alleged that his Greek Cypriot employer called him and asked him to do "dirty business". As he said, his employer told him that he could give him 500 Cyprus pounds in order to bring him Turkish bullets from the pseudostate. The Turkish Cypriot worker stated that he refused because it was not according to his values to get dirty money. As he alleged, the employer insisted for some time on this and in the end he fired him.
In addition another worker, with the initials H.M. told the paper that his Greek Cypriot employer gave him 100 Cyprus pounds and asked him to bring him drugs from occupied Cyprus.
The paper also writes that some of the workers that made statements on this issue said that this kind of immoral proposals started after frequent visits made by the police of the Republic of Cyprus to their employers.
The paper writes that the workers are under the threat of loosing their jobs if they do not obey to the request of their employers and writes that some workers quitted the job themselves for these reasons.
[10] DP will join ANAPAnkara Anatolia news agency (08.05.05) reports from Ankara that the Democrat Party (DP) decided on Sunday to join the Motherland Party.
Releasing a statement, the DP leader Omer Yildirim said that his party decided to join Motherland Party in the extraordinary convention it held today. He also added that he hoped that this reunification would be beneficial to Turkey.
[11] The debate on government decree on Incirlik air base continuesTurkish daily CUMHURIYET newspaper (07.05.05) reports the decree no. 2005/8712, which was adopted by the Cabinet on 18 April 2005 but not published in the Official Gazette, permits the friendly and allied countries to use some military bases, ports, and other facilities in Turkey for logistical purposes related to Iraq, including transportation of military materials, equipment, and personnel. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has sent an instruction to the General Staff, informing it that the United States could use Incirlik air base as a "logistical centre" under the decree.
But, the Cabinet's decree did not grant "block authorization" initially sought by the United States for logistical purposes while sources said that the authorization provided for in the new decree was based on the request conveyed by the Prime Minister to the General Staff.
The Cabinet's decision, which has provided the United States with new military facilities at Incirlik while allowing it to accommodate its troops there, has led to speculation that it conflicted with the Constitution. The government argues that seeking parliamentary approval was not necessary as the authorization was granted in accordance with the UN Security Council's resolutions. Article 92 of the Constitution, however, clearly stipulates that presence of foreign military forces in Turkey may be permitted only if it is approved by the National Assembly.
[12] Exclusive statements by Serdar Denktas to Turkish Daily NewsTurkish Daily News (09.05.05) publishes the following interview by Serdar Denktas:
"Turkish Cypriot Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Serdar Denktas has stated that northern Cyprus will not accept any settlement beyond a peace plan proposed by U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
In an exclusive interview with the Turkish Daily News concerning the search for a settlement in the Cyprus dispute, the Turkish Cypriot minister said the Cyprus dispute should be resolved within the next two years and that if there were no solution by that time, the Turkish Cypriots would proceed on their own path. Cyprus has been split into a Turkish Cypriot-controlled north and Greek Cypriot south since 1974, when Turkey intervened on the island. Turkey still maintains some 40,000 troops in the north and is the only country to recognize the state.
"We made all the concessions we can in the Annan plan. Despite these concessions, we voted for the plan. If this plan is deviated from, then nobody can guarantee that the Turkish Cypriots will say 'yes' as they did before. Therefore, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and his colleagues should certainly take all of these sensitivities into consideration. We neither have the strength to wait for the good mood of the Greek Cypriots nor do we have the endurance to make our people live under these conditions. That's why we will wait and strive for a settlement on the island for two more years, but if there is still no solution, then efforts for a common solution to the problem in cooperation with the Greek Cypriots will come to an end, and we'll proceed along our own path. Now we have a second president, and our institutional structure has become even stronger, but we have no intention of awaiting a 10th president for a solution to the decades-old problem. We'll extend our full support to Turkish Cypriot President Mehmet Ali Talat for two years," Denktas said.
Expressing his views concerning the dropping of Annan's report on Turkish Cypriot isolation from the agenda of the U.N. Security Council, Denktas said: "Such an event, namely the dropping of a report drafted by the U.N. Secretary-General from the Security Council agenda, has occurred for the first time in the history of the United Nations. This issue is about the secretary-general's own prestige. He should think about the issue more than us. There was a lot of wording in that report that we were not satisfied with, but at least there were facts revealed in the report. We expect Annan to defend the report he drafted and exert efforts for its adoption in the Security Council."
Stating that the attitude assumed by the European Union would lead to the lack of a solution on the island, Denktas emphasized that the Greek Cypriots objected to any solution to the dispute because of the strength of their EU membership.
"It was the Turkish Cypriots who strove for a solution over the last 10 years. The border crossings and the approval of the Annan blueprint are examples. What did the Greek Cypriots do? They said 'no' to everything. They are abusing the current situation. Now when the negotiations open [with Turkey], they will press Turkey to withdraw 2,000 troops from the island as a condition for approving Turkey's EU integration. I believe they have ulterior motives. If we bow to the Greek Cypriot demands in this process, there will be nothing left on Cyprus on which we can make concessions. If 80-million-strong Turkey joins the EU, 1-million-strong northern Cyprus will face serious economic and social pressure," he said.
Commenting on the EU failing to keep its promises for financial assistance to the Turkish Cypriots, Denktas said many pledges were made but that none of them had been kept. "There is nothing concrete that will meet the expectations of our people. The Greek Cypriots are objecting [to financial assistance being extended to the Turkish side by the EU]. A Greek Cypriot vote is needed to receive economic help. The Greek Cypriots are not voting for this," he added.
Commenting on Turkey's policies on its path to the EU, Denktas said it could be seen that Turkey had demonstrated its goodwill for settlement on the island.
Of course, everyone can see this in the way they want. What I've observed is that there are not many people who want to see steps taken by Turkey. When it comes to the EU, it must safeguard the rights of its member, Greek Cyprus, so we expect nothing from the EU. When it comes to the United States we used to expect that it might do something, but now we see the United States is hesitating and not taking any steps. When it comes to the secretary-general, he says the United Nations will not take the initiative unless both sides are in agreement. The Turkish Cypriots displayed their intentions for a solution. The Greek Cypriots seem to admit that they are the party against reconciliation. They're not taking any steps, not approaching a solution, and they will not do so. This shows that there will be no initiative for a deal due to the Greek Cypriot stance, and this means punishing the Turkish Cypriots," he said.
Denktas dwelled on the possibility that Turkish Cyprus relations might become strained in October when Turkey is scheduled to start accession talks with the EU.
"A number of conditions have been put before Turkey in addition to the Copenhagen criteria, and fulfilling these conditions depends on Turkey; however, if the EU does not agree to take Turkey in at the end of the year, it will resort to the easiest path [available] and will put emphasis on Cyprus. The EU will say Cyprus remains unresolved and that the Turks did nothing. That is, they will use the media and portray the Cyprus problem as the only reason for non-membership. This may spark problems between northern Cyprus and Turkey. That's why we, as the Turkish Cypriots, should describe the developments very well; otherwise, relations between Cyprus and Turkey will be threatened", he said"

Multi-award-winning Kenyan filmmaker Wanuri Kahiu has scored huge in the international film space. Wanuri's film "Rafiki" has been selected among the films to showcase at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
The International Festival de Cannes released its catalogue of female filmmakers as it seeks gender parity, and from a lineup of 13 films, it's set to feature six female filmmakers. "Rafiki" was the only Kenyan entry, and marks the very first Kenyan feature film to debut at the festival.
Rafiki is a love story about two girls, Kena and Ziki, who live in a housing estate in Nairobi, Kenya. The girls are unlikely friends, and their fathers are rival politicians. When they fall in love and the community finds out, the girls are forced to choose between love and safety as two girls on different paths and the difficult decisions each must make about the life they lead and the ramifications of their choices.
Kahiu noted that her film is "a story about all that is good and difficult about being in love so that for those fortunate moments we are lifted above our prejudices."
Wanuri jumped on her Instagram page to make the announcement and she was super excited about that fete.

Sweden's financial authorities are battling deflation (inflation is near zero).
Back in February, the Riksbank lowered its base interest rate into unprecedented negative territory and announced it would buy up government bonds in an effort to fend off deflation. Sweden's central bank dropped its zero interest rate to -0.1 percent.
Even so, the nation's housing market is in a bubble – prices are on par with those in London, England.
Now, the Riksbank faces a dilemma. Read this excerpt from a November 1 Reuters article:
The Riksbank's decision this week to keep rates lower for longer just extends a bonanza of cheap money that has fueled the real estate prices and borrowing. But the central bank is caught in a dilemma.
Leaving rates so low only encourages home buyers. But raising them enough to tamp down the housing frenzy would also slow an inflation rate that is already flirting with zero and has dipped into outright deflation.
The concern is that Sweden might end up with a local version of the 2008 financial crisis. Homeowners saddled with enormous mortgages might see the value of the homes plummet. They would cut back on spending, try to save more - and hobble the economy.

Here is a good analysis done by Gold-Prices.biz that goes a long way to explaining why I no longer trade mining stocks. They have been correlating to the overall stock market and and under-performing actual gold. Also, I strongly believe in the concept of Freegold as depicted by FOFOA. This argument says that paper instruments of wealth will ultimately seek out their intrinsic value, that of paper. Physical gold will maintain its intrinsic value.
I trade options on GLD and SLV as short term speculative bets. My positions are small relative to my core holdings in PHYS, a 100% fully allocated gold bullion fund. I also trade PSLV as a speculative trade. While this fund is similar to PHYS in that holds 100% fully allocated silver bullion, it provides leverage relative to gold because of the speculative and volatile nature of silver. I do not hold any silver in my core investment because silver will never be money again as gold will soon be. When gold seeks its true value as a reserve asset, it will vastly outperform silver. To portion any core investment to silver would be to deliberately undermine the purpose of the investment in the first place, to retain stored wealth.
Gold, Stocks and Options
A question that we constantly wrestle with is are gold producers correlated to gold prices as gold is their underlying asset, or are they correlated with the stock market as they stocks? Is there safety in gold producers should the stock market in general experience a pull back? If so, why are the gold producers lagging behind the steady progress being made by gold prices at the moment?

This custom ketch-rigged sailing yacht chartering Greece and
Estralano's interior is of solid teak, magnificently maintained.
Another Crewed Yacht Chartering Greece And Turkey
A Motor Sailing Gulet Chartering Greece And Turkey
Copyright 2005-2016 Charter Yachts Turkey. All rights reserved.
Dear Homo Sapiens, There is no need to continue reading this page. What follows is intended for search engine robots and spiders and not necessarily for human beings. Further information about sailing yachts chartering Greece and Turkey may be obtained by clicking on the maroon links immediately above. Thank You. You must be searching for a sailing yacht chartering Greece or Turkey, or at least for a sailing yacht chartering somewhere. How else would you find Estralano? By searching for a yacht charting Turkey, you say! Like Francis Beaufort's Frederickssteen, you say! HMS Frederickssteen was not a yacht! It was not a yacht in any sense of the word. The Frederickssteen was a 32-gun frigate captured from the Danes in 1801 at the Battle of Copenhagen. That was the engagement in which Horatio Nelson is said to have put a telescope to his blind eye in order to ignore an order to withdraw. While Danes assert that it is not clear who won this battle, Britain or Denmark, it is clear that Nelson came away with the Frederickssteen and that ten years later Beaufort took command for the purpose of surveying the Turkish coast, or the coast of Karamania as it was then known. And why did Beaufort need a 32-gun frigate to chart the Turkish coast? Because of those rascally Karamanians, that's why! The Karamanians had ruled that part of Turkey running east from Gocek since collapse of the Seljuk Empire, giving into the Ottomans briefly but not permanently, and they were still there when Beaufort came along, as a musket ball in his groin was to later attest. Among many other fascinating locales on the Karamanian coast is ancient Trajanopolis a mere 25 nautical miles SE of Alanya on the far side of the Gulf of Antalya, and the rendering at left is taken from Beaufort's Karamania: or a Brief Description of the South Coast of Asia Minor and the Remains of Antiquity available free online. It might be noted that until 1923's population swap with Greece, many seafaring Karamanians were descended from Byzantine Greeks and were practicing Orthodox Catholics. Known in Turkish as Karamanli and in Greek as Karamanlidhes, this Turkish-speaking population was among 1.1 million "Orthodox Greeks" swapped that year and the next for 380,000 Greek-speaking "Muslim Turks" then living in Greece. You were not searching for a yacht charting, you now say, nor for a Karamanian. You were dreaming of a yacht chartering azure seas between Aegean islands of Greece, you say. You were dreaming of the perfect octopus salad! And of fresh-caught red snapper. You were also considering the coast of Turkey around Gocek, hopping from one secluded clear-water cove to the next secluded clear-water cove, traipsing the crossroads of history. Aha!

Hello, I decided to set up a fundraiser to stop the coronavirus pandemic. It is possible that this is a drop in the ocean of needs but it's better than doing nothing. You can send money to this link: #StopCoronavirus or to any other organization trying to stop COVID-19.
Everyone, please take care of yourselves!!!

Afterwards, Xu Yangyi laughed, "Honestly, I would've said if I couldn't hold on."
There was a chance that he really wouldn't be able to endure that terrible hammer art for long.
Gao Muya looked at him for a few seconds and laughed, "Not bad, young fellow."
Before his voice even fell, the second hammer blow slammed down, likewise without a sliver of forewarning!
This old goon!
In his heart, Xu Yangyi almost vomited blood. He pulled his attention, not wanting himself to resist and cause the hammer to go askew. However, such a sensation… was extremely agonizing…
Crack! The treasure hammer actually brought forth thunder and lightning in the sky! With a rumble, it smashed the second hole!
Boom… The shock fallout swiftly diffused over Xu Yangyi's body. His face was like golden paper, yet his teeth were tightly clenched. He was persevering through all of this, but… things weren't done!
The second hole seemed to be much harder to smash than the first one. After the first hammer blow, there was unexpectedly a second strike!
"372!" Both of Gao Muya's eyes went wide, and he snarled. As he extended his hand, the purple treasure-hammer was no longer seen. The old man used an inconceivable speed and took a green treasure-hammer from Guanyin's 372nd hand. Gao Muya didn't even glance and mustered all of his strength. Like a thunder god descending to the mortal world, he took aim at the second hole and smashed again!
"Urgh…" At the same time the hammer smashed down, Xu Yangyi couldn't help but finally release a heavy groan. Two hammer blows in the same place. Right on his body! Although his arm didn't have the slightest feeling, the shock wave caused his internal organs and even bones to feel as if they were breaking!
A thread of blood spilled out from the corner of his mouth. His right fist was already grabbing onto his thigh in a death grip, trembling fiercely. Even he hadn't expected that forging the Ketu-Rahu Sword would be so painful.
Gao Muya finished his two hammer blows and raised his hand once more. Xu Yangyi no longer want to see how many times the grand master was going to come down. Gao Muya eyed him and said lowly, "Hold on, this is the last hammer."
THUNK! The third hammer echoed loudly. A dark-green ripple emerged over the qi nail. The hammer departed, yet the qi nail was still trembling incessantly. In kind, Xu Yangyi was also shaking, his veins already drummed out of his flesh.
"Not bad." Gao Muya wiped away at his sweat. He hadn't given voice to these three hammers, but they had a name, the Rolling Winds Three Broadaxes. And while these three supremely intense and unswerving hammer blows seemed simple, they in fact already mobilized over 30% of his entire spiritual force! If it weren't for the defense of the old man's light membrane, Xu Yangyi would been quaked to death by Foundation Establishment spiritual force, no chance for him to be any deader. But even with this shield, this feeling truly could be said to be a life worse than death.
Gao Muya's "not bad" wasn't said because Xu Yangyi was able to endure. On the contrary, it wasn't just due to Xu Yangyi's perseverance, but also the sole heavy groan he'd made until now.
He studied Xu Yangyi whose body was already raining down with sweat. Xu Yangyi's muscles seemed to be partially cramping. The crook of Gao Muya's mouth curved imperceptibly, and he swiped the storage ring on his hand and tossed out a bottle of pill elixir. "Drink it."
Xu Yangyi didn't take the bottle. It wasn't that he didn't want to but rather his entire body and all his bones weren't presently able to move. After no less than several minutes, he used his shaking hand to grasp the bottle and downed it in a sudden gulp.
Pure qi spread into his limbs and bones, and he felt a little bit bitter. His bloodless face finally recovered a trace of a flush.
"Twenty minutes," Xu Yangyi crowed out. Leaning on the desk, he wiped away the cold sweat that dotted his forehead.
"Good." Gao Muya also didn't spare a word. This was nothing more than the most initial procedure. If Xu Yangyi couldn't even endure this… As he'd said, he wouldn't stop at all. And while Xu Yangyi certainly wouldn't be struck to death, as for whether his foundation would suffer a shock later on… that wasn't something related to him.
Twenty minutes later, Xu Yangyi wordlessly nodded. Gao Muya glanced at him and turned his head. "204."
A red hammer fell into his hand. Shortly following, a half-moon of fiery-red brilliance ignited in the room. With a thunk, pain invaded and ate away at Xu Yangyi's entire body again.
"Fuck…" He tightly gritted his teeth, his entire body numb. This time, he suddenly felt…
Inside his body… something was moving?
Right now, something that caused him to lose attention was undoubtedly for the best. With all his might, he was sensitive to things inside his body. However, the shaking feeling actually became weaker and weaker. After concentrating his full attention, he actually felt that Gao Muya's hammer had relaxed by a hair.
Spiritual sense passed through his body, scanning it with Innersight bit by bit. In less than three seconds, he discovered… that the shaking wasn't something else but rather his qi sea!
Or perhaps it should be said his former qi sea.
There within, after his qi sea originally shifted, there had been nothing. Nonetheless, he still placed something there.
The silkworm.
Furthermore, he had used qi to cage it in. Even if the creature whined more, he wouldn't release it. No matter the yearning the silkworm expressed towards his three tree leaves, he still wouldn't give them to it to eat.
This silkworm had hatched from the strange stone. Even though he searched high and low in all ancient tomes and records, he still didn't know what the creature was. Xu Yangyi absolutely wouldn't allow such danger to arise.
And now… Gao Muya's qi was too tyrannical. The refining brought by a Foundation Establishment qi hammer carried a great qi shock. The prison that he'd set up for the silkworm back then was jolting apart little by little!
Xu Yangyi gnashed his teeth, spiritual sense quickly drawing closing to his qi sea. As his spiritual sense hurried, he heard Gao Muya's voice ring out again. "The time has come."
Before his voice even fell, a shock even more violent that before passed on with a rumble!
If the past several blows were like tides… this one was a tsunami! Frenzied spiritual force charged into each of his bones and muscles, seemingly dragging him into the nexus of a storm!
Boom! Following this hammer, his dantian quaked sonorously. His spiritual sense saw that his qi cage had finally split open by a crack!
However, what emerged inside wasn't a silkworm but a smidgen of white.
Boom! Before he even looked carefully, the next hammer blow immediately arrived. He clenched his teeth and suddenly flung his head back. Crystalline and translucent perspiration was flashing with splendor amidst the interweaving of all kinds of qi. Gao Muya's hammer blow came too quickly. He no longer had time to say a word.
This time, the hammer blow was even more complex. In the wake of this strike, the crack on the qi cage in his dantian became progressively larger!
"Chatter, chatter, chatter…" Xu Yangyi's teeth shook following this vibration. It wasn't that he couldn't tolerate it, but such a quake seemed as if it was going to smash open his soul. His mouth was no longer able to remain shut.
"Huff…" Almost instinctively, his breathing accelerated. This was the fundamental law of existence that Heavens Law taught. Extremely fast breathing could decrease pain. Especially excruciating pain.
Like so, time passed on by minutes and seconds, and each second seemed to crawl onwards like a year. The booming sounds of hammer blows echoed continuously, and the proliferation of the qi cage's crack became even more intense!
BOOM!!!! Following a final echo, Gao Muya took a long sigh and wiped away the cold sweat that covered his face. Three qi nails had consumed over half of his qi. The old man handed over a qi capsule, and Gao Muya took it but didn't eat it. Instead, he glanced at Xu Yangyi.
Xu Yangyi's face was pale, yet a sound still hadn't come out of his throat. His chest was heaving up and down fiercely, and it seemed that his heartbeat could be heard inside the basement.
"He hasn't passed out, eh…" the old man clicked his tongue. "Teacher, you're going to be lenient, right?"
Gao Muya faced upwards and popped the capsule into his mouth. He said indifferently, "How could I be lenient when it's time to artifice? Even if it's a rare precedent this time, I absolutely won't make a joke with what might be my proudest work."
The old man's gaze flashed, and he glanced seriously at Xu Yangyi for the first time. "This young fellow…"
"He's using his willpower to push himself." Gao Muya put on his clothes and barked dryly in laughter. "Worthy of being a person able to leave Danxia Temple… Fellow Daoist Di, if this child can actually get a stretch of land this time, his future prospects will be limitless."
Cultivator Di eyed Xu Yangyi and shook his head. "Difficult."
"A cultivator's individual battle strength and a collective war isn't a single-layered thing." He respectfully helped Gao Muya put his jacket on again. "The former would've destroyed a county at most. The latter… might destroy a country."
All Xu Yangyi felt was the droning of mosquitoes at the side of his ears. Right now, he couldn't hear what the duo were talking about at all. As his perception returned to his body, he immediately looked towards his dantian.
There within… to his surprise, the qi cage had already crumbled apart! Yet what emerged was unexpectedly a cocoon!
"What the fuck is this thing…" He clenched his teeth, wanting to sit up, yet just as his body straightened, he felt his legs go soft. He persevered for quite a while, but he finally went weak and collapsed, no lost to his honor.
"Young fellow." Gao Muya sat in a chair and drank tea water that had flown in from some unknown place, laughing. "Have your legs given out? Be happy with yourself, alright. Even using protective magik artifacts, the number of Qi Condensation cultivators that can even keep on bracing themselves after my hammers can be counted on five fingers. You can even sit up straight. That's already considered strange."
Xu Yangyi shut his eyes and regulated his breathing for a long time. He then said, "Senior, is the artificing next?"
"That's right." Gao Muya waved his hand and the teacup vanished without a trace. "But… your tempering has only just begun."
With a passing magik art, a tremendous blaze ignited in a flash! At this moment, the temperature erupted all around! It was practically just like entering a blazing hell!
In concert, all the icy-blue runes on the wall flashed and forcibly absorbed the terrible heatwave.
Xu Yangyi took a deep breath. Just now, the air in the entire room had instantly blurred! But now… a giant white fox head, made entirely out of flame, was fixing its eyes on him several meters away.
"One of the most important judging standards of an artificer's quality is fire manipulation technique." Gao Muya stood up, looked at the several-meter-sized blaze, and uttered, "Next up… you'll welcome this 20,000 °C flame to refine the Heavenmend Stone. When it's at its hottest, it'll be poured into your left arm bone."
"Don't blame me for not reminding you." Cultivator Di laughed, taking delight in Xu Yangyi's misfortune. "This… might cause your blood to boil in a flash. A temperature that can even roast brain flower to a crisp… I'm really looking forward to your screams. When that girl Quan was at this step back then—and although a Heavenmend Stone wasn't used—one could even say that her screams tore at her heart and split open her lungs. I'll probably get to hear an even more beautiful symphony this time."
"The dead can't die. It would be better if you passed out." Gao Muya looked at Xu Yangyi and said, "You sure you don't need something to bite into?"
"No need." Xu Yangyi laughed and pointed at his body dripping with cold sweat. "Can I look even worse than this now?"
"That I can't say for sure." Gao Muya chuckled heartily and gently waved his hand. In an instant, a fist-sized stone appeared in his hand.
The Heavenmend Stone.
Multicolored and gorgeous, the stone illuminated the entire room with streaming light and overflowing color.
"This is the Heavenmend Stone, eh…" At this moment, Cultivator Di was somewhat quivering in excitement. "This… can be written into modern cultivation artificing history! Such a large piece of Heavenmend Stone… We get to personally dissolve it… This level of glory… simply unimaginable!"
Gao Muya didn't speak and he pushed the Heavenmend Stone forward, his expression grave. The Heavenmend Stone immediately floated into the air.
Shortly afterwards, both of his hands began to form seals at a blinding speed. Yet as his hand seals became faster and faster, the fox fire actually emitted flame tails! In unison, they burned and scorched towards the Heavenmend Stone!
"Fire Manipulation Secret Art…" Both of Gao Muya's hands clenched forwards without warning, and he shouted, "Heavenly Works Activation!!!"
BOOM! Snow-white radiance engulfed the multicolored domain in a matter of moments! It transformed everything in the underground palace in a field of white rays!
1. "Brain Flower" In context, this looks weird, but the old man is talking about a Chinese dish called "Roasted Brain Flower". It uses a pig's brain which is roasted. The "flower" part comes from other condiments used and Sichuan pepper powder.
2. 天工开物 - "Heavenly Works Activation" is the name I ended up coming up with. These Chinese characters are actually based on a book published in May 1637 CE by Song Yingxing. Its other translated name is The Exploitation of the Works of Nature. This name doesn't exactly work as a "cool move".

I envy Coraline so much. I'm not a brave kid like her when I was about her age. I love this story so much.
Gave me exactly the feelings Labyrinth gave me many years ago
First fell in love with Henry Selick's stop-motion adaptation - a marvelous dark phantasy feature. At last read the original story - it did the same with me - I loved it! Now going to see the movie once more)))

Donations Needed for Puppies Medical Care
On January 22, seven puppies were brought in to a Vet clinic and diagnosed with Parvo. Treatment for Parvo is very expensive, and the owner could not afford it, so he asked instead that they be euthanized. The clinic staff asked if he would be willing to surrender the puppies to a rescue instead, and he agreed. 4 Luv of Dog Rescue has accepted these puppies and is providing for their care. We believe these puppies deserve a chance to pull through. The treatment for seven puppies will cost approximately $5000. Please help us help these dogs by making a tax deductible donation. Thank you!
PARVO PUPPIES UPDATE! February 8th: All of the puppies made it through treatment and are all able to start going to their forever homes! THANK YOU so much to everyone who donated and sent positive thoughts their way!!
Donations received as of 9:00pm Wednesday, February 8th: $5,555.00

Customer Reviews
Flirt (Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Series #18) based on 0 ratings. 1196 reviews.
I remember this series when Anita was trying to discover her powers. Now it seems she's only interested in discovering her prowess. Not to mention the fact that her entourage has reduced in size from several interesting characters to the four most vapid characters in the Anita-verse. I am including Anita in the four - with Jason, Nathaniel and Micah - because she's lost herself in the last several novels. The majority of the story is Anita defending her sexual conquests with people outside of her circle, having her entourage tell her how beautiful and powerful she is and finally (10 pages maybe) "action" and "adventure" in the story. Where are Jean-Claude and Richard? Where is Asher? Where is the debate between characters (having nothing to do with sex)? Where is the drama (having nothing to do with sex)? Where is the passion (having nothing to do with sex)? Where is the adventure (having nothing to do with sex)? I think the most unfortunate crutch that Ms. Hamilton imposed in her writing of Anita was the Arduer. If she wanted to allow her characters to have sex, then allow them to. Only girls need an "excuse." And as Anita is fond of pointing out, she's the most unlike girl of the girls. Pick Jeaniene Frost, or Patricia Briggs or Karen Chance if you want adventure and excitement and sex. When their characters consent, there are no excuses and they actually further the plot.
First of all I'm a huge Anita fan but that's it? Way too short for the price asking for it. Flirt had a good story line but went into all the action way too soon. Some parts I think were totally irrelevent to the book. I could really care less if there were sex scences in the book or not. I also agree with alot of other readers that she needs to bring back the main characters like Jean Claude and Asher. They make the books more exciting. My overall reveiw was that it was an ok book but could have been much more longer and more in depth with the storyline.
I own all the previous Anita Blakes and was eagerly anticipating "Flirt". I was disappointed the minute I saw how thin the book was( all the others are quite lengthy). "Flirt" read exactly as I was afraid it was going to: a short story. If you like short stories, you probably don't read Laurell K. Hamilton. I felt as if the best parts of Anita's world were completely missing from this book! No Jean Claude, no Richard, no Asher, no Circus or police department, no banter with Zerbrowski or Dolph, no relationship turns with her men, no Belle Morte, NOTHING!!!! It felt empty, like I was reading a random novel almost, but not quite like an Anita Blake novel. Almost like it was an afterthought, in between book for Hamilton. I also thought the comic in the back was cheesy and not funny, not to mention as UNLIKE an Anita Blake novel as you can get. I hope she produces the REAL Anita Blake book soon, because this is just not cutting it for me!!
This isn't even a whole book. It's a short story that they're selling for the full price of a regular hard cover. I don't know which insults me more, that there's little to recommend the book in terms of plot and character or that it's full price for just over 100 pages. There's barely any involvement of the regular characters in Anita's life. I'm assuming the point of the book is to introduce the latest guy in her bed before the next full book but to charge readers as if it were a full continuation of Anita's story is just silly. And then to add a section on where she came up with the idea and her writing technique just adds insult to injury. At this point I don't think I care how she comes up with her disappointing ideas. I just wish they'd get better!! If you're a huge fan who's come to terms with the decline in her storytelling then by all means read this book. Just get it from the library so you're not stuck paying full price for something that'll take a couple hours to read.
For those of you who thought the last book might be turning a corner and returning Anita to the vampire hunter we all fell in love with, think again. Sadly this one harkens back to Micah, all fluff, and except with more of Anita's morals and inhibitions tossed into the wind. If I wanted to read soft-core porn, I'd have gravitated to LKH's fairy series. Look forward to even more erosion of ethics in this one. If you liked Guilty Pleasures thru Obsidian Butterfly, don't read this one, you'll only come away from it more outraged at what LKH has done to the character.
It's my own fault - I bought this without reading the reviews. To say that I feel cheated is an understatement. I bought the ebook version for my nook and the only thing I can be happy about is that I only paid 9.99 and not 23.99 for the actual book. 117 epages long, of which quite a lot is devoted to LKH rambling about inspiration and some insipid cartoons at the end which do a better job with the plot than the 117 pages of "writing". LKH has clearly been running out of steam for the last few books in both series, but this effort is just insulting to her fans. Guess she's made some bad investments or something and needs the money - well, she won't get any more of mine after this.
After that long wait and $10 for a 119 page ebook. What a waste. This book seemed hurried. I feel like Laurell K Hamilton just threw together this book out of obligation- lacked the favorites of Anita. Not even one scene with Jean Claude!!! I wish I could get my wasted money back.
I like Laurel Hamilton when there is drama and substance. This is not one of those. The book is only 117 pages of which 40 were story. The cartoon at the end really? Were they to fill a requisit number of pages?
I am a devoted fan of Laurell so even with bad reviews; I thought I'd still give it a go. Nope, I hate to say it but it was really, really bad. Not to mention the long dedications and the huge section on her and her inspirations, going so far as to put it in a comic strip?? I truly love this author but the conceit the end implied left a horrible taste in my mouth. Too many projects and fame to really write anymore what a shame, it's a great series I would truly hate to see it die like this. What can I say but that I'm truly heartbroken.....
This was really not worth the money, I spent $9.99 and downloaded this on my nook and gosh... LKH could have done better. LKH has done better. I agree with most of the reviews, in that this was not her best, it was actually her worst. Yes, we did get a new character who was strong and turned into a weak lost kitten that followed her home. I guess LKH feels she is so good she can just go to a restaurant get one idea and sell it for more than its worth, just by her name....Yep, she did it :-/ and I fell right into that one..ugh... live and learn... as I think of it even Gena Showalter sells her short books for under $3.00 and they are still good. I paid because I expected better from LKH, because she was one of my favorite writers. So if you are a fan of LKH writings, then I can not tell you not to get it, her reputation in past writing hold its on...But I can say after you read it...I told you so... mannnnn what an overpriced waste.
Honestly, I felt like I over paid for this book. There was no actual story, it was little bit of this, and little bit of that. I understand this series has quite bit of main characters, which I don't mind if the author writes individual book for each character. The title was "Flirt", well yeah I can see where the tittle was from (How Anita established her talent of flirting over lunch break, we also learn that Anita's weakness are her lovers, and how love have change her...this is pretty much it). I do feel like this is a side story of a main story, and I really hope the main story will be coming out anytime now. Like series # 17, I am quite disappointed with how thin the book was.
The plot was bad the characters were really bad. I have read all of the Anita Blake novels and they were very good, I was very disappoinated in this one.
Apparently Ms. Hamilton has nothing new to write about so she just used some of the plot lines from previous Anita books to crank out this hunk of junk. I think that the Mary Gentry and Anita characters are merging into the same person so apparently she needs help keeping her characters new and interesting also. And where are Asher and Jean Claude? They were the best part of the series and now we're stuck with yet another new guy in Anita's life? Come on! Bring back Asher and Jean Claude. And what's with making Asher a whiner in Dance Macabre? Bullet better not suck this bad or I am done with the series.
On and on about how the author gets her ideas. Then, no book. You could stretch to call it a novelette or extended short story, but why bother. Save your money. I've read all Laurel h\Hamilton's novels. She seems to be putting less and less of her energy and talent into writing. A shame from a writer whose vampire executioner and gentry series both started out so well.
For as much of any Author's life that they set aside to be consumed by writing a book, I do not resent the $12.00 I paid for my Hardbound book @ B&N.com. Yes, I read it in a few hrs., but I enjoyed every page of it. I liked LKH's choice of getting back to Anita's Necromancy roots & her relying on HER own talent's without everything revolving around Jean-Claude & Richard's lives. I missed her interaction's with Jean-Claude but SO enjoyed the break from Richard's self-invloved whining. LKH hits you head on with her character's from page 1 & let's you watch them unfold. I enjoyed "Michah" for being about Anita experiencing trusting her growing talents & the man that truly loves her "AS IS," as Jean-Claude does. LKH's characters are so well written that you find yourself laughing with them, hating some, caring about some of them & or crying with them, IF she want's you to. From Phillip of the Many Scars in "Guilty Pleasure's" to Nicky in "Flirt." I have already read "Flirt" a 2nd time & I am still looking forward to "Bullet" due out in June, regardless of how many pages. I am content to add this book to my "Anita Blake" books & Graphic Novel collection, along side my "Meredith Gentry" collection. I am truly sorry if anyone felt cheated by this book, but maybe before they even opened it, they went in expected something more, instead of just being open to what was being offered to enjoy.
This is a short story/novella passed off as a novel. It did NOTHING for the series over all. I hate to say this b/c, up until now, LKH has been a favorite of mine...this is nothing but a piece of fluff designed to line LKH's pockets. It was mildly entertaining (as short stories are) but was otherwise completely uneccesary. Do not waste your money on this, check it out of the library. If you miss it I would not worry about it as it is not really germaine to the series.
I'm a fan of the Anita Blake series, but I feel that over the last few years the author has gotten away from plot and too much into the sexual escapades of her characters. The last couple of books have been much better in terms of plot, but it looks like what's happened with other authors I like (Janet Evanovich - those "in between the numbers" books, for example) is also happening with this one - publishing hardcover novellas as if they were novels and charging novel prices to the consumer. Flirt was only 158 pages long, with wide margins and pretty big type, and the suggested retail is $23.95. I wonder if it's the publisher urging the authors to do it or just the authors getting greedy. All it makes me do is wait for it to show up at the public library. That being said though, I thought that Flirt was pretty well written. The vamps are noticibly absent though, but at only 158 pages, I don't imagine she would be able to include very much at all other than the main plot line.
Way too short, spent the first 2/3 of the book reiterating everything you already know about the characters, used plot lines from previous books and Jean Claude and Asher are missing yet again. If Bullet doesn't do better than this pile of blah then I am quitting the series and re-reading Twilight. And God knows how much Twilight sucked.
I love this series and couldn't wait for this latest entry. Boy was I disappointed. Anita Blake needs all of her friends and lovers to make a truly good book. I'll even admit that Anita isn't my favorite character in this series ~ it's everyone else I enjoy. Where was everyone? This book lacked depth. Ms. Hamilton needs to go back to her roots and write a "whole" book about Anita and her "boys". Anita is nothing but a bully without ALL of her men around her.
I was so looking forward to reading this book. Truly disappointing! The story was too short and not interesting enough. The price of the book was not worth it. Would like to see more of Jean Claude, Richard & Asher in it. Why not write a book about Asher next time? Would like to know more about him & how his character develops with all of them. Bring in a true villian, but stop adding men to her collection. She's got enough of them. How about Damien? What happened to him? He sounds like an interesting character. I don't mind the secual content, which keeps it juicy, but would like to keep it with her main men. I think that she's lost her focus and needs to get back to her primary characters and be more interactive with them. Lord knows shes got enough of them to write about. Add the sex scenes, but give us another juicy villian that we can sink our teeth into (no pun intended). But please no more "super powers" added, just develop what she already has. Otherwise she sounds like "superwoman".
I have to say, I've followed Anita from the very beginning! I've purchased and read every Anita Blake book. What's going on with Laurel Hamilton? I can't believe that this book was released and that I paid full price! This book was so short that I read it in a couple of hours. The last section of the book was just fluff or filler! LH explained how she got the inspiration for the book. I wished that she had a little more inspiration to write more of a story. Ok, the story ( short as it is) is about a couple of clients trying to coerce Anita to raise their love ones from the dead. She refuses. As payback, she is kidnapped and forced to do it. By the way, she collects another man for her male Harem. Can we use that term to distinguish a group of guys who fawn all over her and can't get enough of her wiles and sexual prowess? Ummm, don't know and at this point am not sure if I want to continue reading any more Anita books. I was so disappointed!
First let me say I love Hamiltons writing style and character development, I love the charaters, I love counting the days till the next book comes out... saying that am I thrilled with this book? NO! Why, you ask... Simple this book did NOT belong as a hardcover it doesnt even qualify as a typical paperback. This is Filler material FLUFF that happens between the big plot happenings... this was soooo not necessary to be in a $25.00 hardback format. I am disapointed that this book in the book and the writer as well as whatever CRAZY publisher thought it was a good idea to publish a book this small. the story was good... it took all of and hour and a half to read... was it worth $25?.... HECK NO I could go to a movie for that. my guess is that in the next book 90% of what happened in this book will be covered in her regular novel. SAVE YOUR MONEY not worth it wait for a paperback and then use a coupon!
THE VERDICT: If you must read FLIRT now, I suggest you read it in a library or a retail store. I would wait until the paperback version is released to get a copy to keep if you are a collector of the books. The book actually had a plot after the one big flirt scene in the beginning that the book is named for. The werelions were intersting and actually made for some good reading. Though, the book is short with large font and is more a novella than a novel. This book should never have been released as a hardcover book, like the book MICAH it should have been released as a paperback! It may look long but a lot of those pages at the end are LKH rambling on. A few years ago i may have found that interesting, but no longer. However, the question remains is this the final version of the book? The final chapters of the book leave the reader confused because a statement is made of facts that didn't seem to happen. There is a conversation at the end of the book in which Nathaniel, Micah,Anita, and Jason are conversing and there is a statment about what happened to the enemy that didn't make much sense. I reread the chapter multiple times trying to find the answer. It just wasn't there. Also, an editor actually has to read the final draft that is typed and bound because there are typos in spelling and grammer present, as always. I walk the line on this one.. there could have been so much more in this one but it just seems half-baked!
I have been reading the Anita Blake series since they first started coming out. Have read the earlier books several times, in fact, because they are excellent reads. Somewhere along the line, however, Hamilton has lost her way, either as a writer or just with the characters and world she's created. Many folks have complained about the amount of sexual scenes she's put in her last several books, but aside from Danse Macabre, I never really had a problem with it. I did, however, have a problem with the lack of a truly good plot and story. Each book seemed to be focused on who Anita was screwing for that book, or what new power she developed while she was screwing that person. It seemed like in the last two books, we'd started getting our old Anita back. "Flirt" just shows how wrong I was in that assumption. While an OK read, the story was too short, and there was virtually no character development. Anita meets with a character that it becomes quite plain was thrown in just to put the reader "off the scent," and then the character is never heard from again. If the reader pays attention to the time frame, the "surprise" reveal of the villain is a total yawn. The length of the "book" is laughable, and the $24 price tag the publisher saw fit to attach to this short-story-in-a-book-jacket is nothing short of robbery. The "personal story" at the end was a slap in the face because, um, didn't I just read that? Ridiculous. I still have some hope that Laurrell K. Hamilton will actually bother to read the reviews here and maybe actually listen to her fans. I have been so disappointed in her releases lately, that I am loathe to purchase any further offerings in this series. Unless Hamilton actually manages to figure out how to return Anita to her roots, think the vampire executioner has, herself, been executed.
What a waste of time. I would define the book as nothing more than a "blog". I hope this is not a sign that Laurell K. Hamilton is out of ideas for this character.
