Book #13 was Bloody Bones, the 5th book in Laurel K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake series. The back of the book reads:
In Laurell K. Hamilton’s New York Times bestselling novels, Anita Blake, vampire hunter and animator, takes a bite out of crime-of the supernatural kind. But even someone who deals with death on a daily basis can be unnerved by its power…
When Branson, Missouri, is hit with a death wave-four unsolved murders-it doesn’t take an expert to realize that all is not well. But luckily for the locals, Anita is an expert-in just the kinds of preternatural goings-on that have everyone spooked. And she’s got an “in” with just the kind of creature who can make sense of the slayings: a sexy master vampire known as Jean Claude.

Book #16 was Blue Moon, the 8th book in Laurel K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake series. The back of the book reads:
“Richard was an alpha werewolf. It was his only serious flaw. We’d broken up after I’d seen him eat somebody.”
Still, you never forget your ex-fiancé. And when Richard calls Anita Blake at three in the morning, she knows it won’t be good news. It seems Richard had gotten himself thrown in jail on a rape charge. But Anita knows that though he is a monster, Richard’s no rapist. And it’s up to her to prove his innocence — before the blue moon creates even bigger problems for Richard…

First of all, yes, I have been reading a lot.
Second of all, I do enjoy these books. However, some of the focus on sex is getting a little out of hand. Especially in the one I’m reading now (though I guess I shouldn’t talk about that one until I’m finished).
