When I realized this was the next book ony my list in the series, I was totally bummed. I don’t really care much for Richard. I don’t. I just don’t like him, or crap that comes along with him What can I say? A dramatic and goody boy scout just isn’t the guy for me.
It wasn’t until I was about 15% into the book that I remembered all of the delicious things that were awaiting me

If you want to read a synopsis, there are plenty of places for you to do that elsewhere. This is what I thought of the book:
Though I did end up liking this in the end, for about the first 1/2 of the book, all of the things I don't like about Hamilton's style were out in full force. She has a tendency toward cliches, ridiculous repetitiveness (Note to Laurell K.

The first several novels in the Anita Blake series are great. Funny, scary, a touch gory and a touch sexy. As you read each book, you can really see the character development as Anita becomes more sure of herself and more comfortable with the "monsters". However, some the later books have deteriorated into little more than soft porn for women. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

If this had been the first Anita Blake I had read, it would have been the last Anita Blake I had read. There is a plot. It is an interesting plot even. The plot, however, takes a different car than the sex that gets pushed to the fore. (Yes, I know the correct expresssion is "the plot took a back seat to the sex", but the plot is farther back than that). The main problem, however, is that in this book I found Anita to be totally unlikable (I wanted her to get hit by a Mac truck).

I hate to say it but, this is my least favorite book in this series. The first 300 pages dragged so much. Richard is in jail on false charges so Anita comes to investigate and free him. Unfortunately, the master of the city there does not take kindly to super powerful vampire killer invading his lands. There are issues with the local were pack as well. After plenty of killing and countless annoying Anita and Richard squabbles, Anita finally sleeps with Richard. Only to find out that it makes the

After book 1-7 showing Anita as one tough babe, Hamilton decided that this book becomes the window to seeing Anita's vulnerability. I always enjoyed Anita's kick ass attitude but this twist to the character made me love Anita more. It's a complete circle already. A girl wth beauty, power, and incredible strenght who is not just capable of doing efficient job but also is vulnerable to pain and love.

In keeping with her naming her books after places, L.K. Hamilton's novel, Blue Moon, has several connotations. One, it's a place. Blue Moon is a camping area that people come to play or in this case people come to die. Blue Moon is like the old jazz song, "You left me standing alo ho hone..." And thirdly, Blue Moon is rare - a full moon twice in a thirty day period - which can spell havoc for werewolves, who are drawn to the lunar light and have a nasty habit of getting hairy at th

I'm beginning to see what other reviewers meant when they said that the Vampire Hunter series began to fall apart. Don't get me wrong, this book was a fun read, but nowhere near as good as the prequels, so I can see why a fan might be disappointed...
Okay, so some of the things that really annoyed me:
1) all the sexy outfits and body enhancements. I felt like I was reading a horny thirteen-year-old's first attempt at smut. Everything was lace and leather, and the guys had "kink More...

Well, these books just keep getting better and better, don't they? I guess if you've made it to this book, book 8 in the Anita Blake series, you're already addicted, and there isn't really much I can tell you. So, I'll keep it brief.
This one hits all the right buttons, but manages to throw in a couple of curve balls while doing it. As the title suggests, we're in werewolf territory and I have to say, not being a super werewolf fan usually, Hamilton has managed to get me on board with t More...

Blue Moon is my favourite Anita Blake chapter to date. The initial plot takes a backseat through most of the book, but seeing Anita deal with her place in the pack, delve deeper into her connection to Richard and all that that entails was entertaining. I loved all of the secondary characters, and seeing Anita explore the camaraderie of those relationships. LKH has a great talent in developing characters that are complex and compelling enough that makes me want to know everything about them.

The book is credited again very much, it is exciting and also the humor does not come too briefly. Laurell K. Hamillton remains loyal to her style of speech. The onliest thing what has surprised me a little in this book is the amount in sex. In the first books nothing was to be read by sexual processes generally, this had already changed dark glow in the book. But in this tape it seemed in such a way as if Laurell wanted to make up for everything what she had in the volumes before not enough. Th

My ratings system is as follows. One star is GOOD. The book is entertaining, easy to read and you don't want to stop reading because something about the book is compelling you not to. Two stars is GREAT! This time the story is not only entertaining, but highly creative, unique, easy to read and hard to put down. Three stars is EXCELLENT. Here the book has all aspects of one and two stars, but now the book is thought and emotionally provoking. Four is AWESOME. This is the read that is not onl

Hmmm...not sure where to start. I love Jason! He's a great character and can always lighten the mood when it gets too tense. I'm so glad that Anita and Richard finally did it lol. That tension was just getting to be exhausting. Nathaniel is a little better but his submissiveness is tiring not to mention all that pouting just because Anita won't sleep with him.

Hmm. This book had just a little too much hocus pocus in it for me. I didn't understand or like the whole munin deal. It seemed Anita was the only one using it or able to use it. What about Richard? Why couldn't he access it to heal everyone? Or Roxanne when whe showed up on the scene? Nope, just Anita. Just an opportunity to use a little loose lust scene. Didn't care for that. The whole Raina thing ruined it for me. All of a sudden she's channeling, not any one of the hundreds of previous power

Book 8 in the series... I guess I wanted to review it because this is the book where I feel the the series changed. I won't spoil it for you but I do want to say that I now feel neutral about the books from this point forward. I still like them. But no longer love them. Maybe things will change again....this is LKH's vision and I DO want to see what happens when the next one gets published.

I had a hard time getting through this book but I am not sure how much of that is the books fault. When I start a series I want to finish it... I just started reading Anita Blake this year. I became overwhelmed with how far behind I was and knowing that the end isn't near... I just stopped reading in the middle of the book for 2 months! I didn't read anything else because I am not that kind of reader. I have to finish what I started. I decided this weekend to finish the book so I can finally mov

Yes, I not only read the book but I listened to a few hours of the audio-book. I've found that listening to the audio-book on my to school has helped me to finish the book faster. I'm not a huge fan to audio-listening, because I tend to drift off and daydream. I don't mean too, but I do. From many sources, I heard that Kimberly Alexis does a fantastic job reading Blue Moon, so I decided to give this Auto-book a shot and I was not entirely disappointed...

This is a review overall of the entire series. Anita Blake is The Executioner, lupa to the local pack Alpha, human servant to a vampire, a necromancer, a living vampire, leopard queen, tiger queen and mostly human. While the first few books had decent story lines, from about halfway they disintegrated into a mass orgy of odder and odder sex. The vampire hunting and corpse raising gave way to pretty average sex. Now, each book has a beginning (sort of), massive amounts of having sex with mult
