But yeah, I wouldn't call Hamilton "SF". She's YA Romance in the first few books and then porn in the rest - the fact that Buffy The Vampire Shagger is shagging vampires doesn't actually make any difference.

Pft. If Blake had testicles and went after gangsters and missing heiresses, she'd fit right in with people like Travis McGee and Philip Marlowe.
