Haha, it's like you're IN MY BRAIN. Kim Harrison got my hopes up for an actual bisexual heroine and then destroyed them in the most obnoxious way possible. And then I kind of gave up on the books entirely, for assorted reasons. (And her guestbook was full of relieved readers who just wouldn't have been able to "identify" with a bi Rachel. WTF, if I can read books with straight male protagonists, I should think straight women could read books with queer female protagonists. But I generally hate the idea that characters must be "identifiable" and just like use in order to be "identifiable.")

I keep getting really enthused about a new UF series for about three books, and then really bitter when it turns out to be the same old crap. *siiiiigh*
