The later books belonged in a specialty bookstore not in Walmart. You know those bookstores that won't let kids in.
Just as a follow up, the Anita Blake series, at least as far as I read, were mostly what I would consider stand alone books. I never really got the impress that they as a series were working up to, if you will forgive the word, climax. I would even argue that a series like Weber's Honor Harrington series were mostly stand alone. With the exception of a couple, they were much like the Hornblower series, each book reaches a definitive end. It's very different than, say LOTR or Harry Potter (after say book 3, the first two were more stand alone). Most long running series like that tend to be abandoned over time rather than be brought to a true conclusion.
