  <default_description>These days, Anita Blake is less interested in vampire politics than in an ancient, ordinary dread she shares with women down the ages: she may be pregnant. And, if she is, whether the father is a vampire, werewolf, or something else entirely, it's clear that being a Federal Marshal known for raising the dead and being a vampire executioner is no way to bring up a baby.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[The problem, for me, wasn't that DANSE MACABRE was 300 pages of sex. The Anita Blake Series has become increasingly more sex- based, due to the ardeur that Anita carries and needs to feed. The sex in the book is nothing great, although there are a few attempts to put the people involved in situation...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/21557771">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Book 14 in the Anita Blake, vampire executioner, series by Laurell Hamilton.<br/><br/>This book had a similar vibe to the Merry Gentry series - a little bit of action and danger, and a whole lot of emotional angst and metaphysically enhanced sex. I've got the sense that this book is a connector bu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18661763">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It's all been said before, but it bears repeating. Career suicide. It is a testament to her writing skills that she still had fans after this fiasco. In fact, it's so horrifically uneven when compared with her previous work that the only explanation is that there was something else going on - either...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18190164">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a more closed insular book than some of the others. Besides a chat with Ronnie at the beginning, Anita is neck deep in vampire politics from page one to the final page. So no RPIT and no Animator's Inc. That's not to say we didn't see as much of the necromancer as the vampire and lycanthrop...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11424056">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Anita Blake is a joke anymore.  Her plot lines are non-existent, she's boring, she's whiny, she delivers the same sensory speeches over and over again AND I can't believe Richard is still in the picture whining over the SAME EXACT THINGS!

I, regretfully and unfortunately, couldn't even give it a 5. What I'm giving it are two stars.
