Some readers complained my stories have too much violence for them. Have they read Keri Arthur? Yoikes. I've been smoking through her first three books but man, each installment brings on more violence than The Sopranos. Can the heroine be raped one more time?!
Of course, it's partially my fault because I'm glomming the series, and that's usually not recommended for any author. I've nothing against Arthur's writing style, though, just the way the story arc is progressing. I'm engrossed in it and then...grossed out...and then engrossed in it and then grossed out again. LOL. Is that good? I have no idea. But it certainly is making read Book Four, Dangerous Game, a lot slower.
Do you get like that? Glom an author's works and end up feeling like you've eaten too much of a good thing?
Of course, there's no such thing as too much Gerard Butler for me:
GERARD: IN HIS OWN WORDS
You have to stay till the end of this video just for his last words ;-). ***THUD***
Bad boy. Vampires. Angsty sexahness. I can glom him all day....

Oh Gerard, so delicious. I love me a bad boy with a good heart and rock hard abs. (the accent and the claim to be a fabulous lover can't hurt either)
As for Arthur, I get some of it. Being a Guardian is messy and violent. At the same time, it becomes overkill and yes, I think it takes away from a really great world she's building.
I sometimes read all the books in a series at once too. It can be exciting because you can continue the story without having to wait for the new one to come out. But yeah, I get what you mean - too much of a good thing can get tiring at times.
If I can find an author who's words can pull me in and make me feel for the characters, then I'll read all the books in the series. I've never gotten to the point where I've felt it's too much of a good thing. By the time I'm done I just want more. :)

Lauren,
Seriously, there's A LOT OF lust for Gerard out there on videoland ;-). Which just proves that bad boys are a universal female magnet!
Overkill or...overlust?
Hi Fanciful Fern,
I think I overdid it with Feehan's Dark series one year.
Leilani,
Glomming an author is fun. I remember I went on a Anne Stuart binge in the 90s and basically went out and bought every book she'd written from the beginning of her career. I was broke for months.
