Compare and Contrast
This section is designed to show the simularities between LKH's Merry Gentry and Anita Blake series.
Anita v. Merry

Compare: Both short, love their work, have many lovers, have an attitude, the list goes on and on.

Contrast: Merry is not as hung up about sex, and actually takes pride in the fact that she is one of the "monsters" rather then try and hide it all the time.

Jean Claude v. Doyle

Compare: The "darker" of the men, both have hidden agendas and secrets that they hide from the women.

Contrast: Doyle isn't as willing to cave for Merry as JC is for Anita.

Richard v. Frost

Compare: The sensitive guys.  They both really are in love with the girls.

Contrast: Richard loves her to much to share her.  Frost loves her so much he is WILLING to share her.

Asher v. Rhys

Compare: Physically scarred by the enemy.

Contrast: Rhys, even though he is bitter, accepts his wounds and doesn't try and hide them.  Asher's scars run much deeper then the wounds just on his body.  He often hides his wounds and is ashamed of them.

Jason v. Galen

Compare: All around happy go lucky guys, always there to tease you and make you smile.

Contrast:  Merry is fine with this and accepts her attraction to Galen even though she knows he won't be best for her.  Anita refuses to admit she is attracted to him (even to herself)
