I have almost all Laurel I Hamilton’s books of the Anita series. Just the last three to buy.
Started when her first book came out.
Is Laurel going to write more? I do hope she keeps the Anita series going,or perhaps has had enough???
Thank her for all the reading pleasure she has given me and all her readers,but me especially.
I’m a selfish bitch!!
