Review #1

Reviewer: Gayle
Book Rating:
Reviewer Comments: The thirteenth book in the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series, and the first of what Hamilton calls a “novel-lite” entry. That is what this book is: a short filler. The story takes Anita and Micah out of town and alone for the first time. She is leaving behind the entire vampire and shape-shifters politics, as well as most of her bed partners. Anita is filling in for a friend to raise a zombie for the F.B.I. The book attempts to bring back the exciting, suspenseful, mysteries that Anita Blake (vampire hunter, animator, necromancer and all-around badass enforcer) tackes in earlier books by keeping out the confusion of having to balance all the men in her life. Come on, Anita! Remember when you were the kind of woman that made even Edward, the assassin, fear. You need to know that you can only stay in bed (and describe what happens there, thrust by thrust) so often before you lose credibility as the powerful force keeping the monsters at bay. This book is more of a 2-1/2 than a 3…it may make my shelf because it is Anita Blake, but leaving a space for dust may be the better choice.

Reviewer Comments: Vampire Fantasy. This is the thirteenth book in the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series. Series began with "Guilty Pleasures". There is a reason this new release was put directly into paperback; it's disappointing.
