I really enjoy these books - whereas some readers don't enjoy the direction that Anita's life has taken - it's all part and parcel of the way things are.
I have to say that her life gets more and more difficult. The sexual aspect of the story is HOT - although I found it humerous that she did experience a - well - I can't go there - that would ruin it for others.
Basically, I do wish that she would do a little more hunting - go back to being as dangerous as she was - Obsidian Butterfly and her story there with Edward was one of the scariest books that I've ever read. Her ties to that Vampire there are one of the reasons that her power is coveted.
I like how all the books are tied together - expanding on the relationships and going deeper into the psyche of the characters as well as the lives of them all...This story focuses on Anita's relationship with Jason. Richard is still himself in this story but Anita really helps him out - again, why ruin the story.
Her love, loyalty and friendships toward all her ongoing relationships continue to expand and her thoughts are further delved into. Her conflicting thoughts and her resentment towards the ardouer (spelling?) are discussed further.
Again, while I wish her adventures and romps contained a bit more mayhem, her developing storyline is fascinating and I will continue to be a fan - a HUGE fan of Anita and of Laurell.

I thoroughly enjoy reading Hamilton's books. This one was very good but I wished it was longer. The subject matter always captures my interest and before I knew it I was finished reading the book. I can't wait for the next installment in the Anita Blake saga or for the next Meredith Gentry book.
Always more fun coming along July 4, 2008

I wish more authors I love would write this many books!! I reread them a lot, I get a lot out of them. They're extremely meaningful to me. This new one isn't my favorite, but I bought it, read it, and it was just as crazy as every other book in the series. I love the way the ante just keeps getting upped, and upped, and upped some more, both in the vampire and lycanthrope subcultures and in Anita's personal life. I really can't thank LKH enough for what she has done for fiction. Thank you Laurell!!! Don't stop any sooner than ya gotta. I'll be truly sad when this series finally winds down.

I'm never disappointed by Hamilton. This was a GREAT read. Her only problem is that she doesn't write her books on "Blake" fast enough. I can't wait to see "Blake's" next adventure, but I think it's time to kill off "The Mother of All Darkness."
Laurell, thanks for the wonderful entertainment!

And thats the scary part. I knew just by reading the first chapter before I even bought the book exactly what I was in for. Sadly I bought it anyway. More pointless, depressing, emotional, conversations before during and after sex and not a whole lot of anything else. Not any more than the others but not any less. I think the last good book in the series was the one where Anita went to help Edward and they kicked some good old fashioned human a**.
Why do I keep spending money on these books? It's because I'm attached to the characters. Good authors make me want to be part of their charcters lives and LKH managed to do that for me. Unfortanutly I don't think I can read much more of the garbage the Anita Blake series has become. Pathetic that I keep hopeing things will change.
Please Ms. Hamiltion. I love Anita and all her guys. HER guys not all the random sex partners. Give the woman some control over the sex issue, make the number of guys shes screwing a set number, get over the emotional sex scenes, get back to battles not fought with sex, and let Anita make up her darn mind to be happy with the men she has. I'm sick of the guilt and pity parties. Wouldn't mind killing off Richard either.
