Meng Die's friendlier to me since we helped her up her power level. When did that happen? And what is this, a disturbing pornographic video game? And that line about devils is clunky and makes no sense, especially when you consider what the point of ruling in hell is.
Condoms for me were an extra protection--not my only one. This feels like a slap against those stupid, short-sighted non-birth-control-taking women. You know, the ones who didn't expect to be violated and plan ahead.
and put in tracking down and exorcising Padma. Why do they even want to exorcise Padma? He's a rape-tastic, torture-rific asshat. Also, he could conceivably be a rival for the MoT-thing. Anita could rape and steal his human and tiger servants - or not, since I remember those guys as having spines, private agendas, and imperfect yet masculine features. Either way, she'd probably smugly enjoy breaking their bonds to Padma before they killed him.
"so if the Mother does try to take them over we can have a leg up on breaking them free." Yawn. Again, steal their magic and then kill them. This really shouldn't be so difficult for Anita to figure out. She likes randomly murdering people... but maybe these guys aren't weak enough for her tastes? Either way, if JC wants a new and different council, quietly getting rid of the old one seems like a good first step. Although it'd probably be really difficult to get Anita to keep her mouth shut after the deed was done. She'd blab it about in an effort to look tough, so maybe JC should wait on killing the old council until he can afford to kill Anita too.
and nearly seventy people were killed before the army stopped them. Oh the one hand, the army! Yay! On the other hand, only seventy? And where in Europe was this? It's a large place. Also, I'm beginning to suspect that sheer ineffectual-ness, blatant stupidity, and brutal in-fighting are the only things keeping the vamps and therians from ruling the world. Maybe that's why the humans feel safe ignoring them? They know that nothing's going to come of those two groups, despite all their magical and special-ful gifts.
rich food source This whole smug bit about having the best blood buffet in town cinches the St. Louis leaders as being the worst therian leaders EVER, except maybe Rafael since we never hear about anyone munching on were-rats.
He got lipstick and I got grape jelly. This viscerally disgusted me, probably because it rings my CHILD BEING GROOMED FOR SEXUAL EXPLOITATION! WHERE ARE CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES? WHAT IS THEIR NUMBER? bells. Anita's probably supposed to be a favorite adopted aunt rather than as a sexual predator grooming a 4 or 5-yr-old. And yet, I still see it as the latter.
And that business about shift change for the armed guards at the compound/Anita's house, only reinforces the deranged sexual cult aspects of this set-up. I hope Monica has told her son to stay away from the Kool-Aid and candy.
And, even aside from the child grooming (which I will be getting back to later and at length), Anita has several lobotomized "pets" including Nicky sleeping on the floor around her bed, a violent and erratic lifestyle, and dozens of naked dudes letting it all hang out. Plus, Anita is sexually abusing her ward. Monica and Anita are both going to have a tough time explaining to child protective services how THIS is a suitable environment for either Matthew or Cynric.
